TWO MEN USED ON FRONT PLATFORMS
 OF STREET CARS
Complaint and Satisfaction Expressed by Patrons of
 the Service.

With eight cars in operation, in- stead of twelve. and with a motor- man and 3 conductor employed on each car and both stationed on the front platform, tho two-men crew sys- tenn was reinstalled on thc lines of the Pine Blu company yesterday, the one principal and important change being the fewer number of cars op- erated and the eSSarily-len thened schedule.
 On the Main-Cemetery line and the East SiXth-West Second line. the cars are being operatsd on an 13-minute schedule, instead of the former 12- minute schedule. Or the Cherry line and the East Second West Sixth line, the cars are being operated on 15- minute schedule instead of the former 10-minute schedule.
 Passengers enter and leave the cars from the front platform, and the cars continue to step on the near side of the street, as under the one-man crew system. The motorman continues to operate the car and to open and closa the door, the conductors duties being confined to making change. issuing transfers, occasionally shifting, the trolley at the end of the rua, and flagging the cars ov2r the railroad crossings at Third and Fourth ave nues. The conductor is unable, there fore, to prevent "trailers," which .s the term used to designate the many boys on bicycles who "catch behind" the cars, and the many other boys who steal rides on the rear steps of the cars. in the residential sections of the city.
 There were many complaints yester- day over the chang in the schedules, but there were many persons also to express their satisfaction over the re- turn to the two-men crey system. There were many arguments yester- day between advocates of one or the other systems, indicating the general interest being shown in the matter.
 It was stated yesterday that be- cause of the fewer number of cars be- ing operated, the company will not need so large force of workmen in the car barn or in the repairs and upk ep department, hence the eXpec- tation that five or six employees of those department will be let it.
