 There will be no trolley service this
 summer to Weekapaug and in conse-
 quence Postmaster Lenihan is endeavor-
 ing to provide for postal accommodation at that resort. He has taken the matter up with the post office department and has received information that the sum of SIS month will be allowed for transfer of the mail from Pleasant View to WeekaIeug, three trips a day, or twenty-five trips month. Sundays ex- cluded. This contract is open for bids. The contract for transferring the mails between the Westerly post office ! and the railroad station has been award ed to Frederick N. Tuckerman at s1SO0. | he being the lowest responsible bidder. Years ago, before the construction of 1 t41e present railroad station, when the | distance between the station and the | post office came within the limit where the railroad company was required to
 make the transfer, this work was done | for years, without direct financial recom- pense, by the late James Welch, d local 1 liveryman. In return for this transfer no l public taxicabs or express wagons were allowed on railroad property, except those owned by MT. Welch. Naturally
 he had a monopoly of the passenger and 1 baggage business that came by train to Westerly. This was before the advent of automobiles ha nd
 wagons to meet all trains, and did a big l business, especially during the Watch Hill season.
 \ few nOn-union laborers are at work
 on the Pleasant View road, and from
 them comes a periodical report to tl@ police department that the are to be at tackled by union 1aborers who are out on strike. At the beginning of the strike the strikers did make demonstration against these men and trouNye were averted by police interference. Chief Brown warned the strikers to keep away from the job. They promised to do so and have kept their promise.
 Chief Brown was advised by the fore | man of the gang that according to an arranged plan a large number of strikers 1 was to assemble at the job at noon and l give the workers opportunity to quit work or take the consequences. Chief Brown | and detail of policemen were at hand l to prevent any disturbance. but there | was nothing doing. Upon returning, Chief | Brown interviewed one of the strike lead
 CTS and was assured that the strikers had ! no intention of making any trouble, but l their purpose was to be orderly and not | to violate the law.

CAR DAVeER TO
LIFE and LIMB


Scathing denunciation Of the
zone man" street car proposition
for the tri-cities was made today by
John T. Bauer, president of divi-
sion No. 313, Street Railway EN-
ployes Of Rock Island and Moline.
Mr.. Bauer has just returned
from q tour Of investigation in
communities where the one-man
cars are in operation.
Data on the new system has been
In the possession of the union
leader for several years, but ne
took several days recently to make
first hand Investigations in a num-
Der Of cities where the small cars
are in use.
Mr.. Bauer announced to a rep
resentative of The Argus this morn
ing that nothing but disappoint-
ment confronts a community that
allows a one-man car system.
Promises of better and faster serv-
ice can not be carried out under
any practical scheme whatsoever,
he said.
Accidents Increase.
mot only are the cars a failure
as far as an aid to service is con-
cerned, but they are also consid-
erably more dangerous to life" Mr.
Bauer declared. "a street car man
who has worked for years in oper-
ating cars and getting away from
every kind of traffic jam can see
the shortcomings Of the one-man
car system much quicker than the
average citizen. As an illustration
of a point. taking in both service
and danger Of accidents, I would
ask the question as to how a single
operator for a car can avoid losing
| time and not slight his care OF
operating the car when he must
not only operate the car but also
collect fares.
For sake Of contrast I want to
call attention to the way the two
man cars are operated. When the
passengers enter at the rear OF
the car the conductor collects fares
and when all are aboard he gives
the signal to the motorman to GO
ahead and completes the collection
Of fares and the giving out OF
transfers while the car is on its
way. thus losing no time.
Cannot Expediently Do Both.
with the one-man car the single
operator can not start his car be-
fore collecting all fares and giving
out transfers, or if he does he car
not properly watch traffic ahead
and finish collection of fares and
handing out of transfers.

greatly increased in street cal

at the intersection of Eleventh
street and Twelfth avenue, and
Childs claimed that his $500
motorcycle was completely wreck
ed and that he sustained injuries.
Greenblatt Held to Blame.
Greenblatt testified that he was
travelling south on Eleventh street
and had turned to the left at
Twelfth avenue where he claimed
his car was struck by the motor
cycle. The plaintiff contended
that the automobile struck his
motorcycle. In drawing out chart
of the course taken by the auto

make a proper turn and that at any
rate the law provides that ma
chimes turning to the left should
