To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: We often hear complaints about the brutal
ity or impoliteness of employees of railroads Ihere
Is no doubt often good reason for such complaints
but people should not forget that the public Is
largely responsible for the brutality or impohteness
Of railroad employees The public is very likely 10
sympathize with railroad employees when they
strike. This makes it much more difficult for rail-
much more afraid OF strikes than they otherwise
weed out the undesirable they would II
they could do so with less danger of bringing on
strike.
Even II trade unionism is right a general
principle. 1t does seem that exception should
be made in favor OF transportation companies
Common carriers subjected to rules that do not
apply to other people, and by analogy the en-
ployes of common carriers probably ought to be
subjected 10 rules that do not apply TO the en-
ployes Of other people. Railroads. including street
elevated and subway lines, truly the arteries
of commerce. and their operation should be unin-
terrupted.
It should he understood that the public IS un-
alterably opposed strikes ralr pads. end that
when persons accept employment with a trans
portation company they do with the understand
