STREET CAR EMPLOYEES
| TO WORK BETTER HOURS
Scheme of Expert Beeler Eliminates
Many sSwing Runs" on Cap
ital Traction Lines.

That improved working conditions
for the men as well as improved
service for the public will result
from the installation of new sched-
ules on the lines of the Capital Trac-
tion Company next Sunday. is the be-
lief of the Public Utilities Commits
sion.
The schedules. framed under the
direction of John A. Beeler, traffic
engineer retained by the commission
were designed to accomplish this
twofold result. For one thing they
will make it possible for each man tc
get at least eight hours rest between
one days work and the next.
This is a feature that is not at.
tanned on the present schedules. Al
the same time the work has been sc
|, arranged that fewer men will have
to work long hours.
I'm the matter of swing VS.
Straight runs" says Mr.. Beeler's re.
port to the commission, "a marked
improvement also has been made. A
swing run is a days work SO arrang-
ed that the man does part OF his
work. then has one or more hours OH
duty. and later reports again and
finishes his days work.
This would be Il two-piece swing
run. With a straight run, on the
other hand, the man reports for work
and stays on duty until his days
work is ended, taking of only
enough time for meals.
Although a certain number OF
swing runs are inevitable. it is very
apparent that straight runs provide
better working conditions and are
generally preferred by the men,"
The report shows that the number
of straight runs has been increased
by thirty, and the number of swing
runs has been decreased by thirty
two. The average length of run un-
der the present schedule is 10 hours
and 30 minutes. Under the new sched-
ule 1t will be 10 hours and minutes

According to a letter received by

Lynching Bees

Our good, wise President be-
seeches that we shan't hang to
elns or beeches such gents as
may offend; to show the world
we're law abiding, all forms OF
frightfulness deriding, should be
our aim and end. We chide the
Huns for being brutal, but prot
estations seem quite futile, and
we're thrown out of court, if we
take ropes, some victim cinch-
ing, and show him that the law
less lynching is still our outdoor
sport. We're standing up for all
things moral; we've taken part
in Europe's quarrel to set this
planet straight; we need clean
hands, and these we're lacking If
to the elm tree we go packing the
hemp for some poor skate. The
time spent at a lynching func-
ton, where many men, in vain
conjunction, throw golden hours
away, might balk the Kaisers
Bill and Charley, if it were spent
in reaping barley, or baling clo-
yer hay. 1t IS waste OF men to
hang them; far better round
them up and gang them, and
send them to the front; there
they may scrap with weapons
staple, but dead guys swinging
from maple can do no useful
stunt. This game, to which
we've been addicted, should be
abolished, or restricted until the
war is done; till this is done
the world will sass US, and view
with scorn, and doubtless class
US with Visigoth and Hun.
