SEASON OF CAR ROWDYISM.

With the coming of the summer season. the
transportation companies. both railroads and
street cars. will have in and about Richmond a
great access In local traffic,
The parks will be filled with the crowds
seeking relief from the heat OF the day. The
holiday spirit Will find general popular ex-
preston. Nearby resorts will be- packed.
especially in the evenings. To handle these
crowds u.s. of course, strenuous undertaking.
II is, however, one which the companies must
perform in a manner that will make 1t plain
that they are giving the greatest degree OF
care to the public comfort and convenience
Superior as this sort of mixed local traffic
IN TO the crowds that distinguish the effort at
relaxation in the great cities, there has been
noticeable of late years growing disposition
to license on the part OF those who pack the
cars OF the transportation companies Per
haps because of the crowds. perhaps because
the travel is more general, this spirit is moro
evident in the summer than in the winter.
knowing this and realizing a growing tendency
toward disorder If not rowdyism, the compa-
MES may well take time by the forelock and
teet their orderly patrons.
In the last few weeks the spirit of license
has been observed both on railway and street
railway cars In some instances there has
been practically open violation OF the law
making It misdemeanor to drink on the
trains There have been reported cases in
which drunken men rode on trains and. still
drinking. cursed and swore with apparent zest
to themselves and utter indifference to passen-
gers Other incidents. less grave, but annoy
ing. have come to the attention of this paper
Evidently. the season of ear rowdyism, OF car
vantonness, is beginning early.
The duty Of the transportation companies
| in this matter is clearly the duty OF provision
They are armed with every authority. from the
exceptional one of the police power to the in
herent one of their right through their SER
wants. to suppress disorder In the public In
,erest That this Is not Impossible. even in
the case of immense crowds and crowding. has
been demonstrated every time the companies
involved have anywhere come to final deter
mination to maintain order. They shouid
maintain it at any cost of time, trouble or ex-
nense When years OF utter thuggery on the
Sunday trains from New York to Coney came
to an end as a result OF three weeks of strong
arm" work surely Richmond, which has no
such element as those rowdies among its popu-
lation. can start the summer season in order
and keep it orderly As We have said the
railroads and street companies have crews
which possess the police power. 1heE are
careful in it's use, but II they are going to

THREATENED rrs-rr or TRAFFIC..

The brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers
has established a remarkable record in the
difficult accomplishment OF combining great
power with great restraint. II has not been
guilty of any ruinous strikes and In times
when other trainmen attempted 10 tie up
traffic to carry their ends the brotherhood has
stayed apart content 10 work out its own
salvation 1t would be calamitous thing il
such an organization. after such a history.
should lose its head and precipitate what
would undoubtedly be one Of the most dsas-
trous strikes in history.
Yet this is exactly what Chief Warren S,
Stone and his committee of nifty, who have
been In conference in New York. now declare
their intention of doing They propose ahso-
lutely to stop traflc all steam lines East OF
Chicago and North OF the Ohio river. In these
would be included such systems the Balti-
more and Ohio, the Pennsylvania, the New
York Central the Erie. the Lake Shore, the
Reading. the Delaware and Hudson and scores
Of highly important, If smaller, systems. The
effect Of such an action if the strikers efforts
are attended with success. will be appalling.
All or this comes about over a demand on
the part of the brotherhood for an increase in
nav of is per cent They contend that raises
in wages have not kept pace with the increase
in the cost OF living. The roads contend posi-
lively thar wages have gone high as II is
possible for them to go without an increase in
rates. The whole dispute comes down in the
end to a question OF mathematics and economy.
yet instead of submitting il TO arbitration, the
order goes out for the engineers to go home
prepared TO tie up every train that runs. What
this would mean, according TO stones own
statement. would include the absolute stopping
OF the food supplies of every city in the vast
section affected 1t would mean sudden IA
mine and panic with quick hunger on the part
OF the masses OF the people. 1t would mean
utter DISCRIMINATION of every manner and kind
of business All this. remember, as result
OF a refusal on the part OF the roads and the
engineers to do anything except so TO open war

nerts. reports. rates and wages the deciding
