The United Takes New Turn-And a
Very Good One, at That.-The United Rail
ways and Electric Company has issued what it
calls BULLETIN No l." and here it is in full:
1.-THE secret of getting along with the other
fellow in this world is to have better under
standing of his troubles. The man who is the
sharpest critic is often the best friend, when he
understands the other fellows job.
1T is our business to run street railway and
to run it efficiently. We feel that we can do
more, ordinarily, by attending to our business
than by entering into discussions or explana-
tons.
"Yet few people realize the difficulties of
modern street railway operation. When any
thing goes wrong everybody notices it; when
h VIC fr1n mo-
I'VE want to have everything go right and
everybody to notice it. We feel that we are
making friends with the people of Baltimore,
and that our efforts to give the best service pos
sible are being appreciated. This is not the &C
complishment of day, but the result or grind
ing work and large xpenditures for some years
past. We want to continue and make perma-
nent this era of good feeling, and we desire to
show the public what we have done and are
doing for the improvement of the service;
what problems we meet with daily and some
of the methods by which the railway company
and the public can be mutually helpful and
beneficial.
"You may take this fact as assured that it
will not be possible to remove all sources of
complaint There is the amiable gentleman
who kicks at home and growls all day at the
Office.
1--WE cannot expect to escape him between
times. He will probably kick at the publica-
ton of these articles. But, leaving him out of
the question, it is still plain from the nature of
the business that there will frequently be I'M
avoidable troubles and Inconvenience.
1--WE carry large portion of the population
of Baltimore twice day. Counting the trans
fers people step up and down from the cars
one million times day. The street cars of
Baltimore pass back ward and forward through
crowded streets, covering about 10000 miles,
or nearly three times the circumference of the
globe in q single day. There will always be
arr Than
too, the conductors lot is not a happy one. He
has to collect money from people of all sorts
and dispositions. He alone is expected to keep
his temper, and it is his duty to do so. If he
does not upon proper complaint, he is disci-
plined and perhaps discharged. We endeavor
to secure the highest class of employees. We
are proud of the character and courtesy of our
men, and We believe that as q body they Y, have
are only human, and they make mistakes.
Many reasonable kick will necessarily be
registered against u.s. The unreasonable kicks
come hard. We feel that we can do away with
many of them If the public understands the
street car business little better. We want to
present to you series of articles discussing
some of the problems together with state
ment of how we are meeting them. The arti-
Giles will also describe the immense work that
has been done upon the street railway system
since the fire.
''As for the reasonable kicks, we want to
can best serve ourselves by serving you. An
outsider can sometimes suggest remedies for
existing conditions which have escaped the
men engaged in the detail of the work. Sug-
gestions are solicited.
IF by telling you our story, you will under
stand us better and the spirit of mutual help
fulness will be advanced, we shall feel that our
work has been well done. We welcome hon.
est criticism, particularly lift is good-natured."
