SUBURBAN LINES
BEING BOYCOTTED
Public Sentiment DNerts Traf-
" fic to Steam Roads
and Jitneys.

A partial boycott OF the cars of
the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company by the Washington
travelling public, apparently induced
by public sentiment, as distinguished
from union feeling. is today manifest
on the suburban and outlying lines.
The cars are running on a sched-
ule which is approximately normal.
with the exception OF isolated ir-
Irregularities traceable to Ignorance
on the part of strike breakers, but
passengers are lacking.
In every suburb, in outlying Sec
tions of the District and in Mont
gomery and Prince Georges coun-
ties in Maryland the boycott is on,
and commuters are flocking TO steam
roads and jitneys.
II is a little more pronounced. per-
haps, in the vicinity of Hyattsville,
Berwyn, and Riverdale, but its eff
fects are seen all along the Metro
politan branch of the Baltimore and
Ohio. Commuters who have hithsr-
to used the Washington Railway ana
Electric lines are using the steam
roads. and most of them have pur-
chased Communication or ten-trip tic
kets.
The sentiment again is reflected
upon the arrival of commuters at
Union Station, where the Washing
ton Railway and Electric cars are
being "snubbed."
Many residents of Takoma Park,
Forest Glen, Woodside. Silver Springs
and other points in Montgomery
county who are not using the steam
road are patronfzing jitneys which
run every minute or two, connecting
with the Capital Traction Fourteenth
street line at Fourteenth street and
Colorado avenue.
