MONEY TALKS-EVEN TWO BITS
Patrons of Suspended Herdic Line
Want Tickets Cashed.

Former patrons of the Metropolitan
Coach Company, which because Of finan-
cial troubles was compelled to discon-
tinue its Sixteenth street herdic service
Wednesday, are wondering whether there
is any way of cashing the six-for- a-quar-
ter tickets still in their possession.
They have appealed to the Public
Utilities Commission, which has referred
the matter to Corporation Counsel Con-
rad H. Syme. Unofficially. Mr.. Syme is
OF the opinion that the holders Of tickets
are in the same position of other cred
itors and must seek redress from the
courts.
1t is said that in several instances the
complainants' losses will reach fifteen or
twenty cents.

LETTER TO LAWSON
Victor F. Lawson, Publisher Daily
News:
My Dear Wei thought would sit
down and write you few lines about
a piece 1 read in your paper Wednes-
day evening. Being a newspaper
man myself like to set my brother
publishers right when see their troll
ley's off, and having noticed that
your batting average has been low
lately, thought perhaps might help
you get your eye on the ball.
What caught my attention was this
paragraph in a very able editorial,
which l assume you wrote yourself:
''The ordinance vetoed by the
mayor on Monday evening was that
intended to utilize the power of the
city government to help the street
car strikers win their strike against
employing corporations that stood
ready to arbitrate all differences with
the strikers. 1t forbade the employ
ment as conductors and motormen of
any persons who had not had GER
tain period of instruction by the men
on the strike. Mayor Thompson made
it known that the corporation coun-
sci held the ordinance in question to
be in violation of both the federal and
state constitutions. Even if valid
measure of that kind should not be
passed without full consideration of
it's probable effects"
Now, to readers who don't think,
that would appear to be very wise
observation. But if they really did
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-06-26

stop to think, Vic, they would realize
that Aid. Kennedy's ordinance would
not have amounted to shucks unless
passed the very Monday night it was
introduced.
The strike was on. Thieves, thugs
and gunner were then IN Chicago or
on their way to operate the cars. If
council had gone to sleep and thought
deeply over that measure for even one
short week hundreds of people might
have been killed or injured.
Waiting a week would have been
about as wise as calling a'councn Of
doctors from the next county before
using a pulmotor on a drowning
man.
The ordinance may have been
faulty drawn. 1t may have been
unconstitutional. BUT 1T HELPED
DO THE WORK. And that was the
important thing. l think it made it
much easier for Mayor. Thompson to
bring Blair, Busby and Budd to their
knees.
I'm no lawyer, Vic, but l think 1.
could draw up an ordinance, or show
a lawyer how to draw one, that would
stand the constitutional test. think
you can do a whole lot of things to-
preserve life and health under the.
health and police laws. And certain
ly if the city can regulate chauffeurs
or drivers of vehicles in order to pro-.
tect life and limb, the same authority
can protect the people by requiring
efficiency examinations of men who
are to run street, cars through the
public streets.
And 1 think council should still pass
an ordinance that would have the
permanent effect that the Kennedy,
ordinance was intended to have. 1t is
mighty good way to prevent Rookie.
