Trainmen, Too, Peevish Be-

UPSETS OLD T
Card Playing Is a Nuisance,
Company Says-Necessary
Passengers Declare.
UPSETS OLD CUSTOM.

Forty-three perspirins persons stag
sered to-day into tho general ofhces OF
the Erie Railroad with tons OF mall.
Some OF II was black bordered. Other
pieces displayed Black Hand insignia
The tenor Of the beginning Of every
letter was as follows:
ITO the gink who thought up the or
der prohibiting trainmen from renting
playing cards Inc boards to the unfor-
Inmates who In order to earn a miser-
able wage are obliged TO ride twice daily
over what Is supposed to be q railroad
greeting!"
The order was issued yesterday. Com
muters wot not Of the reason. n
railroad authorities say that card play
ing on the Erie has become q nuisance.
and that conductors get so interested
in the games that instead OF calling the
names Of the stations they lean over the
card players and yell. sixty queens!"
Not that the Erie desires to interfere
with the commuters rights. SAID the
ukase. Not by any means. Patrons
were welcome to bring their W play
ing cards and their own boards; only.
these were not for REM any more.
Hence. by the waters OF the Passaic
there was sitting down and weeping.
Thousands Of old-timers. deprived for
the nrst time Of p%inochle. bridge. DOM
inoes. hearts. even casino, looked out
OF the windows at what New Jersey
calls scenery. Most OF them had no
OF telling where the train was. for
hitherto time tables have been figured
In terms Of games-one rubber from
Jersey City. three games Of seven-up
out OF Tuxedo. and like that.
MANY CARDS DIDN'T LOOK "A.
MiLiAR TO THEM.
The most conspicuous man on the 7.37
was an Erie hab!tue. who produced .
new deck of cards. After the excite
ment had abated he and three lifetime
associates started a game Of whist.
II was punk. The cards were too slick.
the eight Of spades had as many cor.

to break the king OF diamonds across

The prospect OF tearing after trains
with forty-fve cents worth OF round

pleasing and the Erie commuter. IS
speaking as much OF his mind as he has
left after his years OF speeding.
The tralnmen are as indignant as the
passengers. Furtive nickels n dimes
have strayed their way. n once a
brakeman got nifty cents. 1t gave him
trainstorm and they laid him OF the
next week. To-day the only way to
separate a tip from a commuter was 10
