turing company-it is entirely proper
but in explanation of the peculiar
nhases of the case. The complaint
and the evidence hinge practically
around the 545 p. NJ. service out OF
Hallowell-415 p. NJ. on Saturdays.
These are the trips which particularly
accommodate the employees In this
shop. of whom there are several num-
,lred and are the only trips COM
plained of so far as overcrowding is
concerned.
1t is alleged, and conceded, that
there has been marked failure by the
RESPONDENT to keep its schedule during
the mast winter. Some trips have been
lost altogether. and not infrequentiy
the cars have been late. All are not
agreed as to how often, or to what eX-
tent. the latter has occurred. The re-
spondent admits, however, that 1t has
been very much greater than any ordi-
nary conditions would justify, and
seeks only to explain it and to show
that it is making reasonable efforts to
nreyent its recurrence This being so,
there is no need of going into detailed
examination of the evidence, which, in
fact was very general on the part OF
tire complainants.
The respondent attributes the re-
peated failures to maintain its sched-
ules to two causes, an unusual amount
of snow trout les, storm and wind, dur
ing the winter, and serious and unex-
pected damage to its power plant.
1t has had much more than the usual
amount of trouble from snow, and,
while this directly affects chiefly the
lines south of Gardiner and north of
Augusta, it indirectly interferes with
traffic between Augusta and Gardiner
where half of the runs are made by
through cars. The respondent has pur-
chased, and used in addition to the
equipment already owned by it. one 2S-

principally by and in behalf of the

petition was circulated and presented
by this company: another by the of

Correspondence showed that the ac-

least by threats of the former to re-
move from Hallowell unless better SER
