? AID F ARES
OWING T @
MIST AXE
STREET CAR COMPANY INTENDED
CARRYING OLD FOLKS
But Conductors Misunderstood Instruc-
tions and Collected Fares in Some
anceS-Commttees Free.

Considerable criticism was brought
down upon the heads of the street car
system this morning through an un-
fortunate blunder In the posting OF i
bulletin at the car barns regarding the
matter OF passing the cold Folks "
bound for the Salt Lake celebration
1t was generally understood that the
local company would extend the same
courtesies this year as formerly and
allow all bona fide excursionists of the
"three-score-year-and class" to ride
to and from the Union station free of
charge. Those who made use OF the
Twenty-fifth street line were. there
fore, surprised to learn that only
those provided with a white badge
could ride free White is the color
selected for those 90 years of age or
moro, blue for eighty, and red for sew
enty; consequently there were hardly
any but who were forced TO pay fare
on the earlier trains before the conduc.
tors were made aware of the real in
tention of the company.
A representative of the Standard vIs-
tied the car barns to Investigate the
matter and found a bulletin posted in
the conductors room. TO the effect that
all members Of the "Old Folks" eXcur.
sion over 70 years Of age would be
carried free. Another line, however,
inferred that all bona fide excursion
lists OF the stated age would be provid-
ed with white badges. Most OF the
conductors apparently understood the
matter and recognized all three col
orS. while some interpreted the orders
in too literal sense and insisted on
collecting fares. r.7,
Superintendent Bailey expressed re-
gret that the mistake had been made.
and stated that the company will glad
ly refund all fares collected erroneous
" by the conductors If the claim is
made in person by those forced to pay.
BY boldly declaring that they had
been given permission 10 ride free as
we'll as the "Old Folks many mem
bers of the committee to whom the
courtesies had not been extended In
any way, succeeded in saving their
street car money, the conductors not
being fully informed on the matter In
every instance and not caring TO ap-
pear rude.
Oflcials of the Rapid Transit COM
pany stated that II was explicitly given
out that members of the committee
must pay full fare. on some cars the
yellow committee badges were almost
as numerous as were the colorS worn
by the "old folks" and the conduc-
tors, as a whole, were "bluffcd" into
allowing them TO ride free. IT was
stated that similar difficulty with mem
bers of the committee has been eXpui
enced In former years. and as then,
many OF the conductors preferred to
give in rather than cause a scene by
insisting on a collection of fare.
