Cars for Women Only.
Doubts Concerning the Proposal Of
a Brooklyn AssembIyman.

To THE NEW York HERALD; There is
no evidence to show how the women
view the suggestion OF Brooklyn AS
sernblyman that two separate cars for
their exclusive use be attached to all
subway trains in Manhattan and Brook
lyn, and that exclusive cars for women
be operated on the various surface lines
in the two boroughs. There is a suspi-
cion. however, that in spite of the AS
sembiyman's we'll meant solicitude for
the women the latter will not take kind
ly to the suggestion.
Men, too. will no doubt be offended
by the proposal OF the Assemblyman,
for. after all, Is II not reflection on
their conduct to imply that It Is neces-
sary to segregate them from the women?
From this neck o. the woods 1t very
much looks as IL the Assemblyman from
Brooklyn has started something that he
can't finish. But II he does have his
way Il Is dollars to doughnuts that there
will be two cars on every subway train
which will have no straphangers. The
women doubtless will take advantage
OF the opportunity TO get seats in the
rush hours, but after the seats in the
separate cars have been filled they Will
flow into the cars where the men are.
