Attention Called to Happenings on
 Trolley Lines.
Very truly yours,
 A READER.


 To the Editor of The Herald:
 Tn justice to the patrons on some of the trolley lines, there is ample reason for the management to overhaul some of the young conductors, especially on the East Main street line. The minds of some of these conductors seem to be centered on matters but known to themselves, instead of looking after the welfare of their passengers.
 I will cite one instance that Oc- cured last Friday night on the East Main street line Two passengers boarded the car across the railroad track occupying the same seat. When the conductor came for his fare both passengers gave him each dime. Two fares were rung up, but no change was given back to either pas- senger until the conductors attention was called to it, whereupOn warm argument ensued before the change was returned.
 Still the trouble did not end here, one of the passengers, who is a regu- lar patron of this car, signaled the conductor where he wanted to al1ght, and the passenger was carried a long distance beyond his destination, and was obliged to signal the conductor the second time before he stopped the car. This is not the first time that the same thing has occurred. It is hoped that the mana cement will look after this matter and give the public the service they are paying for.

WHAT MAY HAPPEN.

a8t will be a cold dreary day if this
 # ion is ever plunged into the midst Ma nationwide railroad strike. No 2 knows what it means, for no one @ imagine what would happen if # " railroad car wheel in the United
 H tes were to stop tomorrow and not E h again for more than week.
 # re would be almost as much M Msery and suffering in this country N there is in continental Europe. @ CT two o-thirty o'clock this afternoon @ public will have some way of VI ging what may happen. At that Me the President and the railroad Wecutives meet for a final conference. M is surmised that the railroad men MI tell the President they will not
 #cept the proposal of an eight hour @y without arbitration. The brother Sods are standing firm against arbi- #Ltion. It is the biggest case of the 8bHc- be- damned policy ever put on aeord
 Mt Is not very difficult to understand &e feelings that prompt both sides in Ms great controversy. There are Bose who synpathize with the rail- Mad employees and those who hold ! at the employers are doing the right Hing. Also, it Is glaringly apparent Nat both sides are acting like pig #aded sohoolboys. They have 8ached the point where neither will #dge an inch. It remains then for
 E me outside influence to step into the &each and make both the railroad @ecutives and the brotherhoods Buckle down and obey the rights of &e. people. To this end the President Ind the leaders of Congress are con- 8 8mplating legislation. If a strike is Seclared tomorrow, the President may save to call out the entire United Rates army to take control of the atuation. strike-breakers have aI- @ady been corraled by the railroad Managers, and await the flash calling Mir the regular men. If the railroads Shnnot be run successfully under this @nakeshift organization and the Mrotherhocds refuse to return 10 their
 Mcsts of duty. the United States gov N nlnent may be forced to purchase
 Ne railroads. The Interstate Com # 4erce Commission has for some time Ms en engaged in computing the valua- @iIn of the railroad properties of the 8 8.nited States. Thus the unrcason- A hlencss of both sides in the contro- Hcrsy would lead to a thing which Anany might deplore, government Ownership. It would be an extrava. kant job for the government, to be Aure. but it would offer a solution tc Hbe terrible conditions that are rapid Ey growing Up between capital ant labor. A check will soon have to be but on one side or the other.
 Tn the end, it is always the public that suffers. Granted that one side |or the other wins out in this fight be- tween the managers and the men who
