RIGID ENFORCEMENT OF
 RUNNING BOARD RULES
Connecticut Company Will See That There is No Riding on Boards From Now On,

Rigid enforcement of the rule pro- hibtting riding on the running board of trolley cars is forecasted by off, cials of the Connecticut company, in a statement made at New Haven. This attitude will be taken because of com ment of the Public Utilities Commits sion to the effect that the company, the past season, did not make a se- rious effort to enforce the rule. The contention of trolley employees is that they have little authority in attempt ing to carry out he company's in structions. They take the view, also, at present that if the company tries to enforce the rule and finds it can not the Public Utilities Commission might strengthen the rule.
