TRANSFER SLIPS
CONFUSE BRONX
TROLLEY RIDERS
New System, Inaugurated To-
Day, Causes Endless Confu-
sion on Huckleberry Lines.

There was confusion to-day on the
"huckleberry'' trolley lines OF the Union
Railway Company in the Bronx when "A
new system OF transferring passengers
was put In operation. Every car that
carried the hundreds OF men and women
to their work was noisy with disputes
and quarrels, and every other conductor
had his number taken with an accom-
pany!ng threat to report him to tho
management.
The old System Of transfers was very
simple. You simply got one kind OF a
slip that entitled you to ride In any
direction in the morning n another
with the same privilege in the after
noon. But the company has formulated
a new scheme OF a transfer with two
coupons.

portion Of the main transfer entities him
TO continue East or West.
The conductors of the line have been
receiving Instructions about the new
system for two weeks. but when 1t wa.
put in operation this morning they
seemed TO be utterly unfamiliar with it's
