Trolley BOYCOTT
|SBEGUNBY GIRLS
PhosnixviIls Misses Don't Like
Conductors, but Red Tape
May Halt Truck Rides
REAL COMEDY Of, MANNERS

Girls of Phoenixville don't like the
general style and get-up OF conductors
on the Pottstown and Valley Forge
trolley line---and the conductors say
the girls are bad hammered. Ar a re.
suit things have reached such serious
stage that the fair riders are going to
work on motortruck rather than
patroni9e the company.
And still further complications are
promised.
When the president Of the trolley
girls he petitioned the Public Service
Wentzel, the owner of the truck. from
using It for transportation purposes.
An agent Of the commission told
Wentzel that he must not run his truck
as a jitney until he got a certificate OF
convenience. =
Wentzel expressed defiance today and
hired lawyer. Then he announced that
he wouldn't stop his carrying ,passen-
gers until the commission served him
with an Injunction.
The trouble started when the line was
taken oyer by the Phoenixville, Valley
Forge and Strafford Company.
The girls say the conductors on the
line are far from being Chesterfeldinn.
But the conductors declare that the girls
have to be called down constantly, as
they want to run the whole line. Some
OF the carmen further declare that many
timid passengers are afraid Of the girls
who started the trouble.
As proof Of this they say that Mrs.
j. A. Cou.ston, Of Spring City, was
used roughly BY the mutinous riders be-
cause she insisted on using the ears in.
stead Of the lone motortruck Of the
