HOLDING OUT FARES.
A Conductors Observations on the
Street Car Beat


"Do some passengers make it a
practice to hold up fares on US "
repeated a conductor on one of the
street car lines. Indeed they do,
and you wouldn't be running car
a week before you would get on to
some of their methods.
'Most conductors have some sort
Of system of collecting fares.
Some take the faces Of the passen-
gers as guides, others take in the
general appearance Of the passen-
gers, while others go through their
cars in certain systematic ways pc
culiar to the man. / have a system
which may seem old, but | have
found it a good one, and [ very sell
dom ask the same passenger twice
for q fare, as many conductors whose
memory is not good are obliged to
do, nor do many fares get away from
me.
'1n collecting fares l always look
at a mans cravat. Facial delinea-
tons, especially in men with
smoothly shaven faces, are frequent
ly nearly alike, so much so that one
smoothly shaved stout man looks
like the next smoothly shaved stout
man, but their neckties will be diff
ferent. 1t is also deceiving to at.
tempt to identify men by their head
covering, as there will be a dozen
men in the car with the same style
of straw hat on in summer, and
with the same style of stiff hat in
winter, but when it comes to neck
ties you have a dead line on 'em for
the reason that you won't find two
neckties exactly alike in car full
of men.

to the hat for Identification. While
ladies may wear the same general
style hat, either down over the
face, up from the face or on one
side or the other, you will never
see two ladies' hats that are trimmed
exactly alike.
"You see, it is our duty to col.
leet fares, and when we think q
passenger is holding up a ticket II
is also our duty to insist that it be
surrendered, so our Identification
should be accurate to save trouble
for all concerned. There are some
passengers who always have theil
fares ready to hand to the conductor
upon his approach. There are
Others who never produce a fare
until a specific demand is made by
the conductor for it, and then the
search for the ticket or the cash
begins, and not until then. These
passengers 90 upon the rule that il
is not moral turpitude to beat the
company out of its legal fee fol
transportation if the fare be not
demanded by the company's agent,
that the company is under obliga
ton to transport them free OF
charge if they are overlooked by
the conductor, and that they are
under no reciprocal obligation to
nav for a service rendered them
