SURFACE LINES.-Do you know,
Mr.. Citizen, that the c. S. L. claim
they have in their employ one of the
best experts in the country to work
on their time tables. But the man
who fills that position is handicapped,
the same as a tTust-repOTteT is handi-
capped. He has got to deliver the
goods the company demands.
Just stop and think moment, Mr..
Citizen, what a splendid service we
could demand of that expert if the
railways were under municipal
ownership.
The time table we are now work
ing under calls for an inadequate
service for the public. No end of
complaints are made against the men
who are compelled to carry out this
service.

not know who to blame. When peo-

Are the crews responsible or the CONF
pany for this wild, disOrdeTly tram

On one hand we have the trainmen
who carry out the services called for
on the time table. They are obliged
to keep their cars on schedule at all
times. They have very difficult task
in this. Some of the runs have two
minutes strut others follow with 8
to 10 minutes strut. Then the third
crew follows the 10-minUte crew with
a 3-minute strut. This schedule dis
order makes the crew with the To-
minute schedule carry a double load.
In order to be on time he is forced
to pass up passengers and be very
lively in the operation of his car.
Above all this there exists run
ming time that ought not to be al
lowed on a public thOrOughfare. On
the other hand, we have the COM
pany, which is interested at all times
in keeping down the operating eX-
pense.
In order to do the same they keep
continually cutting the running time.
In cutting the running time they take
more cars from the street. This is
the service you have got to put up
with, Mr.. Citizen. Which means a
saving to the company Of thousands
of dollars annually. The G, S. L, are
there for operating the service for
personal greed and not for a public

cally every line of business. There
can be no doubt that We have al
ready entered upon an era of the
greatest prosperity in the history of
the country"
Secretary McAdoo said the indus
trial and commercial activity of the
country was based primarily on the
nations economic and financial
strength, and upon the awakening
of the people to the opportunities
for the expansion of foreign trade.
