Delivery Specialist
Predicts Coming of
Motor Supremacy

Said F. D. Engle, the delivery ex-
pert, who is making his headquarters
while in Richmond with the Kir & &
Wright Company: ideas of delivery
costs are changing rapidly with every
month. Power trucks are coming to
the front and every day finds them
displacing horses with new merchants
and manufacturers. Perhaps more
than anything else. the war has shown
the remarkable effectiveness of motor
trucks. without them, the armies
would never be able to make the
rapid changes they do. Heavy siege
guns could never have been trans
ported with the speed of q cavalry de-
tachment, and this, mind you, not over
city streets or good roads, but over
muddy and wrecked roads. the result

ECONOMY WAVE Sweeps
OVER MAJOR LEAGUES

Cleveland. May 22.--Economy ia
and will continue to be the watch
word in the big leagues.
That's the conviction of Charles w.
Somers, who owns the Indians and
Spiders
A strong indication of this economy
is To come here quickly. II will mani
fest itself in a further reduction of
the number OF players to be carried
this season by the Indians.
Chief Birmingham now has twenty
five athletes. including himself. Som
ers plans to reduce the club to about
twenty players. This means that four
or FIVE Indians will draw releases Just
as soon as arrangements for their dis
pnsal can be made.
All Clubs to Reduce.
Baseball is passing through q
great transaction period" said Mag
nate Somers. There's sure to be a
big revamping of leagues after this
season. ] wouldn't be surprised IL
many big league clubs found II neces-
sary to reduce to eighteen players be-
fore this season Ia finished.
THE era of Inflated salaries for
players also has disappeared Con-
ditions soon will be such that the
players who get more than 5000 q
month Will be looked upon as lucky
Somers says many big league mag
mates will suffer hard financially this
year and that the Feds will lose vast
! sums.

with decrease in expenses through
reduction cutting of players salaries
and a general tendency TO economic
wherever possible, leads President
Barrow to believe that the 1nterna-
,ionai League will have a fairly sue
cessful season. He Is optimistic that
Richmond will prove one OF strong
est links in the chain. With great
deal less of expense Barrow ngures
that the International is IN much
better position to continue than are
the Federals.
Must Have Better Weather.
He then went on to say that after
the weather becomes really season

not be SO hard and the games will
be shortened. And theoretically ne

President Barrow believes that the

President Barrow is cocksure that

CAR MEN AND THE PUBLIC
The Chicago Surface Lines have pub
lished an ad in the various papers in
which they congratulate the car men
on the arbitration award and ask for
cooperation between the men and
the public for a better feeling on the
part of the men toward both the pub
Lie and the company. They also say:
''FOUR-FIFTHS of the complaints
received by the company have to do
with the treatment of the public by
our employees complaints involving,
the personal equation such as dis
courtesy, running by passengers,
starting too quickly, not waiting for
passengers at transfer points, etc.
Every complaint of this nature
should now be eliminated. We shall
appeal to every man in the train serV-
ice to cooperate with the manage
ment in every way possible to give
a better service than ever before, and
particularly to be mindful at all times
to extend to our passengers every
courtesy and consideration to which
they are entitled. We believe that
the great majority of our men will
respond Loyalty to this appeal"
So far as the men are concerned,
we, too, believe they will respond.
The award of higher wages and
better hours for the men will put
them in a better frame of mind to-
ward the company; and we have no
doubt at all of their friendly feeling
toward a public that sympathized
with them in their demands
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-07-21


public to do. Often there. are pas
sengers who get sore at conductors
and motormen who have to live up to
company rules and who do the best
they can under trying circumstances.
l have seen two cars standing at a
corner in the loop, waiting for the
traffic cop to whistle for them to go
ahead; and l have seen passengers
wait by the first car and get sore if
the second car didn't stop right at the
corner when the whistle blew. Even
when the motOrman on the rear car
signaled passengers to walk back and
get on the car, some passengers
would not go back, but would stand
still and expect the second car to
stop while the first car went ahead.
Now the motOrman on the second
car had made his stop for the street
crossing anyhow, and had the pas
sengers walked the length of the car
they could have gotten on and the
car could have gone ahead when the
first car got the signal At times the
stopping again of the rear car to take
on the passengers who wouldn't walk
back forced the motOTman to wait for
another signal
This causes delay and enough Of it
would throw the mOtOrman off his
schedule.
The point I want to make is, that
passengers can do their part toward
saving time and improving service.
If the public will cooperate with
the car men both viii profit by it. All
we passengers need bear in mind is
that the conductors and motormen
are human beings; that they want to
do the square thing; that they don't
like to be scolded or abused, and that
abuse by a passenger naturally irri-
tates either a conductor or motor
man. He's human and is quite apt to
talk back
This is merely one illustration. It
