result of the demands made on Mayor
Smith yesterday by Major Charles r..
Hunter, of the Frankford Arsenal. and
a score of representatives of industrial
establishments in that section, that re-
lief be afforded from the uncertain and
unsatisfactory service.
Major Hunter threatened to take the
matter of the poor service up with
Washington, unless immediate relief is
forthcoming. He said
Unless the Philadelphia Rapid Tran
sit Company improves the street-car
service in Bridesburg. so that hundreds
of employees of the Frankford Arsenal
and other munition factories in the
northeast will cease to be thirty min
utes late in reporting for work, the
matter will be taken up with authorities
in Washington
The complaints of the business men
were directed particularly against
Routes So and 75, which are used by
employees of the Frankford Arsenal,
Disston Saw Works and the Barrett
Chemical Company. A petition was pre-
sented to the Mayor. as follows:
1T is felt that the poor service, so
particularly noticeable within the last
few weeks. is only in very small meas
tions. The main reason for it Is un-
the broken-down condition
of tie cars on the two lines In ques-
tion. For some two or three years con-
ditions on these two lines have been
rapidly tending toward general break
down. and cars. when sent to the barns
for repairs. have been handled by un-
skilled mechanics, who are paid lower
rate of wages than now naid to srdi-
nary laborors."
The petition criticizes the morale OF
and motormen, who are said
TO be discourteous to the patrons Of the
cars. Il
According to Major Hunter. reports
from the superntendents at the Frank
ford Arsenal show that many employees
are detained daily. He added:
There are $500 employees of the
Frankford Arsenal who use the cars on
Routes 50 and 75. The cars are totally
to handle this crowd. They
are the old-style yellow ones, and the
crowds that pile into them during the
rush hours render them unsafe. On a
recent occasion only two cars were rum |
ming on line and hundreds had to wait
more than an hour.
The protestants included A. Y. Jack |
son. of the Miller Lock Company; C. Z. |
Davis, of the Pennsylvania Forge Com |
pany; Walter b. Murphy, Barrett Chem
ical Company; Edward Gallen, Frank |
ford Grocers' Association Evan c. Pat

ers' Association. and Henry Conlan, Of |

1t was accepted by officialdom
that the declaration of the Austro-

His intimation that Emperor
Charles of Austria was in sympathy
with any peace move and that he
would be willing to undertake the
pressing of peace negotiations with
the German control was in itself
sufficient. officials pointed out, to
show that his position is entirely
dominated by Berlin.
And. his declaration that Vienna
and Berlin are one and that a sep

another 'made-in-G ermany" peace
drive is TO be initiated and ex-
plotted. the kaiser's armies having
failed TO win either through to the
