To Street Car Riders

With the cancellation of war contracts and the rehabilitation of
army and navy forces enough manpower will shortly be available to
enable Public Service Railway Company to restore street car service
to the highest point of efficiency it had acquired previous to the war.
1t is admitted that the service is not what it ought to be. Ei4
not what the company would like it to be, nor what the company pro-
poses to make it as rapidly as conditions will permit.
For nearly two years the company has been laboring under ham
dcaps the magnitude of which the riding public has had no real con-
ception. These handicaps were-not peculiar to this company; they
affected all other large railway systems similarly. They were not of
the companys creation; they were beyond its control; they were un-
avddable outgrowths of the war.
One of the most troublesome of these handicaps was-and still
is-the shortage of labor, a shortage which was felt in every depart
ment. but most acutely among the platform help. Hundreds of the
company most competent employees entered the army or navy; other
hundreds were lured from their jobs by the more attractive wages
offered by the ship yards and munition plants
No street railway could compete with war emergency contract
wage rates and, of course, the Public servce, forces were heavily de-
pIeted. 1t was inevitable that the service should feel the effect, and
it did.
Even the payment of the unusually high scale of wages fixed by
the National War Labor Board was not sufficient to attract all the
help needed to place the company on a normal operating basis from
the manpower standpoint, and special efforts persistently pursued, in
cooperation with the United States Employment Service, failed to fill
the gaps in the employees ranks.
But with the ending of the war the prospects have frightened.
Employees of the plants that were engaged in war work arc already be-
ginning to seek jobs which carry an assurance of permanency, and
many of them. including former employees of this company, are turn
ing to the railway.
As the railway company contemplates no changes from its pres
emit high wage scale and favorable working conditions it is confident
expected that the ranks of its workers will, within a reasonably short
time, be recruited to, their full pre-war strength, with the result that
the service win be materially improved and afford adequate accom-
mediation to the travelling public.
Every effort is being made by the operating officers to hasten the
return of normal conditions In the meantime the company patrons
are respectfully asked to bear with it, as the problem it has to deal
with Is a most difficult and perplexing one.

ANOTHER JOE COTTON.

Although the chain gang Of Alex
andria has but few members, this
little band has accomplished much
during the past few weeks in aiding
in the elimination of certain nuis-
ances. A week or SO ago the gang,
under the charge of James Martin,
attacked what is known as the tam
yard ditch, running from Franklin
street to Hunting Greek, and cleared
that conduit of its contents, causing
a free flow from the sewer outlet in
to the creek. This work was accom-
plished with much labor and difficulty,
as trees the roots Of which had been
dammin@ up the ditch had to be re-
moved. Undaunted, however, the
captain and his gang went to work
with vii! and cleared away a stand
ing nuisance upon the border of the
old city of Alexandria up to few
years ago, but which is now in the
corporate limits.
Captain Martin last week made an
attack upon what had been a still
greater nuisance than lanyard ditch.
1t is deep ravne which extends from
the Stone Bridge Duke and Peyton
Streets to Hunting Creek. This
called fer much labor, but the work
was successfully accomplished, and
today water is running freely through
the ditch to the creek. Putrid water
eight feet deep was found in places
west of the National Cemetery, caused
bv falling tress, railroad ties, grass
etc, clogging up the run. These OBJ
stacles were removed with difficulty,
and the large bodies Of water which
had banked at different places were
sent roaring into Hunting Greek.
Under the recent proclamation OF
Mayor Fisher, there is 4 probability
that Captain Martin will receive more
recruits in the near future, as certain
men whc are Willing away their time
will be ordered to procure employ
ment else they will become members
of the chain gang.
In the olden time one CT the officials
Of Alexandria was known as the SUI
erintcndent Of Police His main duty
was to look after the sanitary condi-
ton OF the city. The work of this
official was seldom satisfactory, and
n 1865 the late Joseph Cotton, i well.
known shoemaker Of those days, was
elected to the position. He went to
work with a will, labcrcd himself anc
saw that those under him worked also
He accomplished much and was duly
complimented. The chain gang accom-
plshcd little until the new captain
took charge, and old citizens regard
his as another Joe Cation.
