Street Railway Men Must Not Take
Lemonade on DUTY.


NEW YORK, July 18.-Twenty days
suspension for drinking a glass of lemon
ade! That was the penalty melted out yes
terday to thirsty motorman on the Sth
avenue division of the Metropolitan-street
railway. who thoughtlessly drank glass
of lemonade while he was waiting at the
Polo Grounds terminal of the line for the
signal to continue his run.
At both the South Ferry and the Polo
Grounds terminals of the line small boys
have erected stands where they do q
thriving business in lemonade and soft
drinks. While waiting for the signal to
start the return run the motormen and
conductors have been in the habit, espe-
cially on the very hot days like those
at these stands. Sometimes If they
were in hurry the boys would carry
their drinks out to the car for them.
The men were surprised last Monday
when the following special order was post
ed at the 5Oth street depot:
ITO Conductors and Motormen: It has
been brought to the notice of the under
signed that motormen and conductors
have been In the habit of buying soda

man reported for violation Of this order
will be suspended for twenty days. Relief
will be given to get drink of ice water
at the depot at 5Oth street. where same
can be obtained

The motormen and conductors were in
censed over the latest move of the COM
pany. They said that the Polo Grounds
and South Ferry were quite distance
away from the depot, and that often they
had to wait nearly half an hour at these
places before continuing their run. Elk.
posed as they are to the sun these days,
they say. it is but natural that they
should indulge in an occasional drink Of
lemonade.
An official Of the company said yes
terday that the boys who sell the lem
onade and soft drinks were in the habit
Of jumping on the cars and selling them
to the motormen and conductors. Sew
eral accidents had resulted from this
practice and the company decided to is
sue the order to prevent further cas-
ualties.

ASKS REVISION OF
HEPBURN RATE LAW
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Reports to Congress ON
Commodity Clause

WASHINGTON, May s.--No official
information is in possession of the
Interstate commerce commission con-
cerning violations by Interstate rail-
roads of the so called commodity pro-
vision of the Hepburn rate law.
The commission has no knowledge
whatever of any agreement or under
standing between railroad companies
and the authorities charged with the
duty of enforcing the law whereby
the railway companies affected by the
commodity provision are to be given
immunity from punishment for its vio-
lation.
The commission recommends, how
ever, that congress enact a provision
extending the operation of the COM
modify clause of the Hepburn act In
the interest of fairness TO the rail-
roads, so that sufficient time may be
had to test in the courts the validity
of the enactment.
These are in brief the statements
made by the interstate commerce COM
mission in communication forwarded
to the senate in response to a resolu-
tion calling upon the commission for
any information in its possession re-
garding the enforcement of the conn
modify provision OF the rate law.
