1t Is the practice Of the motormen
Of the elevated cars to start and stop
them with n prodigious jerk and shock,
throwing passengers about and at the
risk of bruising them severely or doing
them worse injury; and the tug and
strain Of their nerves are always there.
In short. these clumsy or unframed
bunglers at the air brake hurt some
folks. scare many and irritate all.
Why does a mOtorman almost In.
variably stop car with the violent
suddenness TO which the engineer OF q
locomotive resorts only when he has
to? One would think the minds eye Of
the motormau sees ghostly COW on a
ghostly track ahead. but what does he
see when he starts?
To be sure, cars are bigger than they
used to be; the brakes more powerful;
but Is there any sound reason for
this vexatious and perilous per saltum

vative manner instead Of all the actual
