OWL CARS FOR SUBURBS

Now it is the suburbs. the beach re-
sorts that are sending up a cry for
AL night car service. They have long
recognized the need of late service;
every resident of suburb, compelled
to come here for his theatrical and
social amusements, knows how he has
to hustle, often to miss the end of the
play or the supper at the dance, to
"eatch the last car" 1t is disgusting
to him and disquieting to everyone
else
In reverse, the same is true of those
who go to the beaches. They now leave
here after dinner in the evening, and
perhaps reach Venice, say at $3.50
o'clock. They listen to the evening
concert and probably think that they
will enjoy a little supper thereafter.
But consultation-and they run for
the last car" leaving Venice to suffer.
When they reach the city they have
missed connection with the city lines
and either walk home or hhe AN auto.

HARTMAN Stops BUILDING IN
THE NORTH
Demands Same Concessions In Seattle
That Other Roads Have Secured.
Says Realty Men Are Hold
Ing Up Line
BY Associated Press.


SEATTLE, Wash, April 30-E. H.
Hartman today declared that his road
In entering Seattle, would demand the
same concessions that have been grant
ed other lines and that, unless he re-
ceived them, he would defer building.
With an expenditure here already of
between $S,0OO,0O0 and $10,0OO,0OO, Mr..
Hlarjman said his plans in Seattle rep
resented n total expenditure that would
mean an annual interest charge of
$500, 900.
Unless he gets franchise satisfac-
tory TO him he will hold his real estate
and refuse to extend. incidentally, Mr..
Hartman denounced the real estate
spectators on the ground who had
held up his road and declared that
rather than do any more business
which gave Spectators n chance to
hold up the line he would wait ten
years for legitimate property valua-
tions.
Hartman wants an entrance to his
passenger depot over Fourth avenue
which would involve a slight curve to
reach the property.
City officials have been trying to keep
the railroads off this street and sug-
gested two other thoroughfares. Double
and sharp curves, involving difficult
operating problems would ensue. Mr..
Hartman declares positively that he
would not consider these alternatives.
The Hartman system will not COM
mence building until all franchise mat
ters are settled in Tacoma and Seattle.
Within year after these grants are
secured Mr.. Hartman says he will
have his lines completed.

them; they have been cut out Of half

spent more than the expected cost In

In eastern cities the nights at the

one finds the late cars loaded down
with homecoming pleasure seekers,
and they haven't that hurried, worried
look. because they know there will be
city cars awaiting them at regular
hours all night.
Both the suburban trolley companies
here encourage the beach traffio-dur-
ing the day. They run many extra
cars and advertise the resorts heavily.
The business is enormous Yet when
night comes It goes all to pieces, and
only a few stragglers take advantage
of the attractive ride and the cool even
ings on the seashore. why? Because
getting home is such problem; they
must miss half their fun or take
chances that few can afford.
wouldn't It seem, Mr.. Trolley Mag
nate. to be good business proposition
to run beach cars very late and city
cars all night long? wouldn't it be
worth while by the only standard of
value you use--proftable?

FEWER MAY DAY STRIKES

Years ago the first day of May was
distinguished chiefly, in the greater
part Of the United States, as the an
nual moving day. Latterly, however,
its chief distinction has resulted from
its selection as a favorite period for
labor strikes. This because May 1 has
come to be a date chosen by many
large trade organizations and employers
to adopt new agreements to cover ques-
tions of wages, work hours and the like
during the succeeding year. The fact
that building activity in the eastern
states gets fairly started about that
period of the spring also makes May
day a favorite time for precipitating
strikes.
1t is pleasing to notice, however, that
comparatively few strikes are likely to
occur today. Chicago, which has the
reputation of being q sort of storm
center for strikes, reports that "for the
first time in years May / promises to
find this city practically free from ex-
tensive labor disturbances" There
have been symptoms of formidable
strikes in New York, but within the
last few days the situation has been
more favorable. In other eastern cities
there is less labor restlessness than
usual at this time.
Sensible American employers and
workers are too intent now in harvest
ing the crop of business profits and
high wages to risk making their cake
dough" by costly idleness.
