MOTORMEN ARE
JOINED TOGETHER
IN UNIQUE CLUB
ALL THE WORLD IS CLUB
HOUSE OF ORGANIZATION
SOCIAL PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED
DURING WoRKDAY
Trainmen from Many Different States
Included in Daily Gathering
of congenaI Spirits on
Vacant Lot
What's a club ?

What's a club?
A congregation of congenlal souls
banded together for mutual betterment
in otherwise idle or Improbable hours
If this be true, then there is an idea
club located in the open at sixteenth
end Georgia streets, wnere most any
hour you will find some of the mem
bers enjoying the gifts of the gods
pure air and sunshine.
It's the Los Angeles Street Railway
Trainmen's club which has achieves
the distinction of being the most
unique and select organization in the
world.
Here are the rules governing mem
bership:
Members must be working trainmen
No dues.
No initiation.
No officers
Good fellowship.
Looks easy to become member
but it really isn't. Good fellowship is
not easy to have and to hold if one
comes in contact with the travelling
public ten hours day.
Out of every twenty-four hours every
trainman must give fourteen to his
vocation. He gets paid for but ten
hours work, but he is away from
home, wife and children four extra
hours, making his changes and doing
all the other things incident to col
lecting fares or handling a controller.
What to do with those extra hours
which do not come all punched to-
gether, but spread out in periods Of
minutes now and then. is rather
vexatious question. Trainmen are
busy individuals and because of their
work are more or less nervous. Alb
solute idleness to them is impossible.
They must have something to occupy
their time when they are not running
their cars. 1t was for this reason that
the informal club was formed, or rath-
er just sprung into being and ''growed'
like TOpsy.
The weighticst questions Of the hour
get full consideration from these
trainmen. They never discuss railway
questions or recount any unpleasant
experiences with querulous passengers
That is absolutely forbidden. Their
club is one Of happiness and they want
no jarring notes sounded
The clubhouse is the biggest in the
world, for it is the world. The blue
vault Of heaven is the roof; the brown
earth the floor. one wall is decorated
with unusual "frescoes.' such as cor
set advertisements, musical comedy
posters and industrial bllboards. The
seats of the mighty are motormen's 5
stools. If a member happens TO be a
conductor he has to stand up, unless
he can prevail upon some good-natured
pal to give him a seat
Possibly the greatest good accom-
plshed by the club is in ironing out
the frowns from the members fore
heads and sWeeteuing their tempers,
so that they viii be able to 90 on with
their work It has often been declared
and never denied that conductors
lives are filed with trials such as no
other vocation brings. The trainmens
club gradually is making life rosy for
its members, causing them TO forget
their troubles and when unjustly ac-
Cused of not calling street or refus-
ing to stop or making improper change
to smile and think that q happy hour
of respite is coming in the club
