Traiers On South EnsIey Line.

1t Is understood tat an effort will be
made To get the birmingham Railway,
Light and Power company to put trailers

ting so heavy, particularly at certain
hours of the day, that more passengers
have to stand than the number who OBJ
tain seats.
Two prominent ladies of Ensley who
have lived here for Il number of years.
said today that the coneested condition Of
the cars had started a new custom among
the male passengers that is the occasion
FOR much comment which is most I'm =
favorable to those who have taken up
the custom.
They say that now when men accom-
panied by ladies enter the ear the man
will in many instances, take the seat
next the window giving the lady accom-
panying him the scat next the aisle, doing
this in an endeavor to keep from surren-
dering his seat to the many ladies who
are compelled to stand
"A young man who had heard the sub
iect discussed remarked that after he had
worked hard all day he was too tired To
surrender "A seat t. q lady, for he knew
that they had probably been resting ali
throuhg the day, and yet he would gel
off the car and play billiards or pool for
several hours, but could not stand during
a twenty minutes ride on a car said
this lady. 1t is thought that such condi-
tons can be relieved by the putting on
of traiers.
