mo Seats No Pay"

San Francisco has a stap-hangers
league, which is said to 5be making
much headway in curing the trolley
car managers from keeping the service
down and making money on the
crowds. Each member of the league
refuses to pay fare on car unless he
can secure seat when he rides, and
they all wear the badge of the league
to show the conductors that they are
not individuals fighting alone for
their rights, but a determined body Of
men who insist On having room enough
in this world to breathe. Their MOTTO,
IN o seat, no pay," is conspicuously
shown on red buttons, aud the cOnduc
Cors light shy of them in crowded cars.
That society might be extended all
over the United States where there ale
trolley cars full to the roof at the rush
hours of the busy days. There would
soon be more cars at such hours and
less crowding. The railway managers
have never tried in earnest to get over
their lines with reasonable Gomfsrt
and on time when there is such rush
as comes to some of the branches at
certain hours every day. They have
not even taught their conductors the
art of ventilating cars when
there is crowd on board. The traffic

There was a significant lack Of

Throughout the fighting at Liao.

For the defeat at Mukden Kuropat-
