Railroad Courtesy.

Railroad officials, railroad attorneys
and railroad men generally are always
grumbling that the public is unfair TO
the railroads This statement is not
true, except in so far as the railroad
employees themselves make It true by
their discourteous treatment Of PEG
pie.
Last Saturday morning after the
adjournment of the legislature a
crowd of members and state officials
thronged the Central Vermont station
at Montpelier anxious to get away
for the Christmas recess. In the be
ginning the crowd was cheerful and
good natured but it's nasty treatment
by the employees Of the Central Yer
mont railroad was such that that-raiI
road can never expect any marked de-
gree OF courtesy or kindly feeling
from the people there assembled.
One marked instance was the treat
ment accorded Lieutenant Governor
Mead by the man in charge of the
baggage room. After standing in line
for almost half an hour while the bag
gageman openly favored others, es-
pscially young women, who arrived
long after, DR.. Mead was openly and
surlily insulted in reply to a courteous
question at the end Dr. Mead is a
kindly and courteous gentleman and
will probably not make any direct
complaint to the railroad company
but,when he next hears the railroad
lawyers at Montpelier whining about
the unfair sentiment toward railroads
he is likely to smile and look the
other way.
On that same Saturday morning, a
score of others were treated as badly
or worse than was Lieutenant Goyer-
nor Mead, all by this same mucker
who appeared to be boss of the bag
gage-room at Montpelier The train
was about an hour late but the state
ment was posted on the bulletin board
that the train was 80 minutes late
and as the time approached the large
number waiting 10 get baggage
checked some of whom had been
there for a half to three-quarters Of
an hour. naturally became nervous
and insistent, but were treated by the
railroad employees about as a hired
man would handle a drove Of swine.
If this were the exception and not
the rule the condition would not be so
outrageous. but the same thing, in a
greater or lesser degree, prevails at
two-thirds and probably al iye-siXths
of the railroad stations in Vermont
II is practically impossible to get
courteous reply to "a civil question
from ticket agents, telegraph opera
tors. baggage handlers, and often,
though not so frequently from con
ductors and trainmen. For this con
dition railroad management is alone
responsible. Railroad directors and
officials could compel decent and
courteous treatment Of the public If
they chose and we believe 1t would
mean thousands OF dollars annually
The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1908-12-22

to them in Increased business and
lessened animosity
Railroad men at the start are no
worse than other people but, when
they find that boorlsh and brutal
treatment of the public goes without
rebuke from their superiors, the
habit grows on them, if they are in
any way inclined in that direction. OF
course the railroad officials say in
self defence that they and their EN-
ployes are particularly exposed to an
noyance, but this is no defence.
Every man in business, every clerk in
Ia store, everybody who ever answers
Ia telephone call or meets a customer
has to answer countless foolish and
unnecessary questions, and make long
and tiresome explanations, but they
have to do It courteously or lose their
business or their job
If at Montpelier last Saturday
morning the baggage master. the
ticket agent or the telegraph opera.
tor had announced publicly that the
trains We're an hour late and that
everybody would have ample time to
get their tickets check their baggage
and send their kilograms and had
these employees and their assistants
met the travelling public pleasantly
and courteously, the Central Vermont
railroad would today have a hundred
friends in place of a hundred enemies
or at least a hundred critics, and no
one can doubt that in the long run it
would have been more profitable for
the road.
We once heard a well intentioned
gentleman, a business man of national
reputation and striking success, re-
monstrate with a ten dollar a week
ticket agent for his unkind treatment
of ttmid old lady amused to travel
ing The ticket seller heard the gen.
tleman for a minute, then drew him
self up, threw out his chest and re-
marked, What the hell do you think
you are going to do-tell us how to
run a railroad?' This is typical Of
the usual attitude of railroads, from
the general manager down. 1t needs
no comment, but we cannot but think
of it when railroad agents and attor-
neys talk about the public being I'M
fair to the railroads.
