COMPLAIN
ABOUT THE
BLOCKADES

Do YOU find il necessary TO start
for work in the morning at an early
hour to allow thirty minutes for cross
ing blockades?
Did Won ever stop to wonder what
il amounts to In your own life In a year
and what 1t must mean to city!
Read what Aldermen Plageman, Lau-
er. and Eastwood said about the propo-
sition before the council Tuesday even
ing.
Oscar Plageman. reporting for COM
mittee-"we saw Manager Green ana
laid the matter before him. He admlts
that the service is poor and he VIII try
and better it but he claims that the
railroads are to blame. When the Nickle
Plate is blocked at the bridge 1t blocks
three crossings. Its the same way with
the re. of the roads. People have 10
start for work a half hour carrier each
morning to allow for blockades
Aid Eastwood-'I don't think that
the Almighty could change the system
and make it any better. The railroads
can hold a crossing four hours II the
train keeps moving. Trouble with MI
Green is that he don't provide the ex-
ira cars and when he does ne runs
them way into South Chicago IN oroer
to get two fares Mr.. Plageman needs
to read the law"
A Hot One.
Plageman-"Mr. Eastwood Is taking
through his hat and l would advise MIN
TO read the law. The railroads cannot
hold crossings"
Aid. I,alier-"This council is joke
as far as action against the railroads
is concerned. If our city attorney does
MT care to tend to ma tiers pertaining
TO the railroads we had better get
someone who will The only way we
ever get report out of him IS Wnen
we squeeze it out. AS far as l can re-
member he has never volunteered re-
mort vet The state and Holman
street crossings are pockets ana ions
freights are held there. On the Michi'
gan these long drags hold crossings al
| far back as Columbia for half houl
at time.
| Eastwood-"If the council instruct'
the police commissioners to arres
crews at blockades they do not get re
venre on the roalroads- It's the poor
working men that pays the hnes.
