ANNUAL SAFEGUARDING
AT GLENOLDEN STATION
Burglars Fortieth Visit Earlier
Than Usual-Several Hun
dred Dollars Taken

The annual visit of yeEsmen TO the Glen
olden station OF the Pennsylvania Railroad
was made at an early hour today, much
earlier in fact than any of the thirty
nine previous calls.
When Statonmaster Kirk arrived at the
station this morning he noticed that the
window facing the railroad tracks was
open. When he entered the station he found
his office in confusion The safe. which
had been directly in front of the ticket
window. was minus its door
The door had evidently been pred off
with sectional jimmy Money and papers
belonging to the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Adams Express and the United States Post
Office had been taken
No one was able to state the exact
amount taken from the safe. II is known.
however, that it contained several hundred
dollars.
So quietly and skillfuly did the burglars
work that they were unheard by any one
in the town The home of Dr. William f.
Elgin is only ] so yards away from the sta
tion. 1t is considered probable that the
thieves worked when a long freight train
was passing the station, shortly after mid
night
This is the fortieth robbery of the sta
tion at Glenolden that has occurred in as
many years. according to Joseph II. Fair
lamb. who for thirty-eght years was post
master of the town.
combined investigation by railroad and
private detectives and Government agents
is being made today.

ROXBOROUGH WANTS
RIDGE AVENUE REPAIRED
Councilmen of 21st Ward Pro-
test to Commission Against
Wretched Conditions

Councllmen from the Twenty-frst Ward
have sent a letter to the Public Service
Commission protesting against the condi-
tion OF Ridge avenue from Wissahickon
Station to the County Line.
They have taken this action in response
to kicks" of residents of Roxborough. who
say the street is in such a wretched condi-
ton and so muddy and fun of holes that
a plgsty would shine like Dutch kitchen
in comparison.
The city is not responsible for the condi-
tion Of Ridge avenue. It is pointed out. on
the head of the Schuylkill Valley Traction
Company lies the responsibility. The cor
poration guarantees In return for the iran
chse privilege. the task Of keeping the
street in decent order. Now citizens say
IL has not been done.
In fact. every time Harry Anderson
Common Councilman from the Twenty-hrst
Ward. rides over Ridge avenue he feels
less safe than II he were on tour " the
Alps or Himalayas.
"T was motoring down Ridge avenue the
other day." said Anderson this morning
land I really felt as though ] were journey
ing through a brck-yard. The traction
company not only does not keep the street
in good condition, but IL also does not run
cars as frequently as specified I'm the fran
chise. 1t is supposed to run one every
twelve or fifteen minutes, but a halfhour
wait Is the rule rather than the exception.
SO far as the folks up along the trolley
route arc concerned there might just as well
he no trolley line"
Anderson added that city Solicitor Con-
nelly was looking up the law on the ease
and would soon hand down an opinion stat.
ing whether or not the company could
be forced to keep the streets in shpshapr
Just where is the worst spot?" De was
asked.
You'd need finc-tooth comb to find the
worst place. They're all bad"

tools and walk out peacefully, and
the plant they walk out Of has got
to close, for all deliveries to and from
it ceases, as the>workers are united
on the cooperative or interlocking
system. Another bad feature of the
present system of unionism is in
signing contracts with the employer.
This. is very bad, and the workers
should not do it, or permit their rep
resentatives to do it, for this is a
form Of slavery, and it acts as a det-
riment to another group in the same
plant who are dissatisfied with their
conditions or pay. The workers
should commence to realize that no
union or political party now in exist
ence can help them to any great ex-
tent. The workers, and the workers
alone, must help themselves by or
ganizing into ONE solid UNIT and
COOPERATE the same as CONNER
cialism.-H. n. Blanchard.
