Oscar Hammerstein.

A report from New York states that
Oscar Hammerstein is dying in a hos
lital in that city. This brings back to
the memory an interesting figure who
a few years ago dominated the New
York theatrical situation by sheer
force Of personality. Hammerstein be-
gan his public entertainment career in
modest way and gradually developed
from a local vaudeville manager to the
rank of a grand opera producer. He
was fighter, always in some kind of
trouble with rival managers or with
stars. He became well known through
the illustrated press throughout the
country, largely by reason Of his queer
shaped hat. He effected an extreme
style Of topper" and for years never
appeared in public without it. He had
genius for publicity and made no
end of good "copy" by his frank ex-
pressions of opinion and his fearless
criticisms. He was in frequent fnan-
cial difficulties owing to his boldness
in venturing in the public entertain
ment field, which is always more or
less of gamble in New York. At the
time of Hammerstein's rise into the
irst rank Of amusement purveyors in
the metropolis "Abe" Hummell was a
conspicuous figure, not as q manager,
hut as the attorney for theatrical folks
in the course Of their frequent litiga-
tions. Hammerstein and Hummell al
ways made an effective combination in
court, whether in unity or in opposi-
ton. Hummell came to grief through
indiscretion in the course of his pro-
fessional work and Hammerstein
eventually lost his hold through fail
ure Of health and errors of judgment,
sc that for some time he has not been
in evidence. 1t is doubtless a surprise
to many who were familiar at least in
print with the figure Of Hammerstein
and his "funny hat" to learn that he
is still alive, though in the last stage
of dissolution.

Car Mems Demands.

There will be public sympathy for
the demands of the street railway op-
eratives who want an adjustment Of
their trips and swings SO that they can
put in normal days work within q
reasonable span of hours. And there
will be public recognition Of the diff.
Guilty confronting the railway company
in an effort so to arrange the schedule.
1t is an awkward problem, but it
should not lead TO anything so drastic
as remedy as strike.
If street railroading were like prac-
tically any other business all the en-
ployes would work the same length Of
time, within the same span of hours
during the day. But it is not regular.
The demands upon the traction sys-
TENS are heaviest at two periods, two
hours in the morning and two hours
in the afternoon. During those two
periods the service is greatly in
creased. To accommodate the people
who want to ride during those hours
of congestion many more men must be
employed than at other times. These
extra men, to make days work, must
be available for duty both morning
and afternoon, and ct other times, in
relief of the regular force. The prob.
lem is to work out a schedule of en-
ployment that will lessen the period
Of availability for call without lessen
lrg the chances of the individual oper-
ators for getting full days work.
If the companies paid the extra men
Cor waiting time the burden of cost of
operation would be very greatly in
creased. As it is already SO heavy in the
case of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company that higher fares are
asked as imperatively necessary by
the corporation, such a plan of pay
ment, would, according to the com
pany's reckoning, call for probably a
10-cent fare rate.
In any case, il more wages are asked
as general scale, or II the change Of
schedule demanded imposes an addi-
ten to tho pay roll. tho public must
foot the hill according to the com
pany's present showing Of income and
expenditures, on the strength Of which
more fares are asked. And 80 the mat
