MAKE COOPERATION PAY DIVIDENDS

Don't become irritated irritation, like friction,
is likely to generate heat instead Of progress. Let
the vexations OF the day pass with q smile.
Remember you personally interested in the
Company's success, use your brains not your
tempers
Cooperate with the driver that's stalled Get
the delay over with as soon as possible-argu-
ments only add to the trouble. Aid the old lady
or gentleman it saves time and insures their
comfort and safety. When the argumentative
individual comes on the scene, forget you have
a tongue-keep still.
Business is business--we must make trolley
ride so pleasant for patrons that they will
form the habit of riding short distances, when
otherwise they would walk. TO succeed we
must sell trolley rides.
Make your job your business-and run it to
pay dividends That's our business now.
Educate the public courteously-show some
one each day how best they expedite the
movement of cars by stepping through the car
to its rear, by having their fares ready, by asking
questions clearly and concisely, by waiting for
the second or third car when block has
occurred, by stepping on or off the car brskly,
and the thousand and one other things which,
combined add to Our daily toll of troubles.
When you must enforce rules, be polite but
;nsistent. Work for the publics corporation
We believe in Co-operation-our Chief
believes in it--brought it into being. IT is on
trial in a new and vast undertaking, you have
staked your dollars on the outcome-now give
your best thought and action to make that out
come successiu--Super-co-ope calls for
super er-cffort-sustaned effort. Make sure you
are ready and willing. The world is watching
us: we must succeed in making Our cooperative
effort pay dividends and in doing so we will
have passed another milestone on our road to the
industrial Utopia Our Chief has visioned for us.

Philadelphia is watching acknowledging what
1t all neans-and what the result will be to the
car rider.
1t is our desire to satisfy those who feel
aggrieved because of the skip.stops, and so,
after conference with the Public Service Com
mission. we will gradually remove those against
which there are well-founded objections We
will endeavor to make up the loss, from the
added stopping of cars. by extra diligence of
train crews and in speeding up.
Improved service to the public was our first
accomplishment at the outset Of this undertaking
in 1910. and street car service is now better here
than elsewhere.
F. r. T. car service under the new order Of
things. as a result Of cooperation. must be made
TO increasingly serve the public Schedules must
be better maintained, interruptions to service
overcome. and 4 greater proportion of seats
supplied to passengers carried.
Motormen know where unnecessary delays
occur and why, also how to space their cars to
pick up passengers, and where danger turks
through accident.
Conductors know where service is short, and
what the remedy. Their check as to adequacy
OF service is sure and constant. as compared to
the customary periodical tabulations of traffic.

IN GARAGE; $4,000
QUARTS CONFlSCATED

New York. April s.--A boot
legger's quarrel in a West Side
garage today IN which several
shots were fired. brought po-
lice reserves to the place where
they confiscated $4,000 quarts
of wine, whisky and braid
Crowds attracted by the raid,
attempted to rush the garage
when the quantities of liquor
became known, breaking win
dows and throwing the neigh
borhood into disorder until dis
persed by police with drawn
clubs.
1T required 10 hours to re-
move the liquor in patrol
wagons and motor trucks to
the West Thirtleth street police
station, officers with drawn re-
volvers riding on each vehicle
after rumor had spread that
bootleggers would attempt to
recover the contraband.
A patrolman on duty at
Ninth avenue and Sixteenth
street heard loud talking, foi-
lowed by several shots. He
traced the disturbance to the
garage and rushed in with
drawn revo1ver. Reserves were
called and search of tse gar

the hall of justice, when deputy
sheriffs closed in on them.
Then Wilson trained a revolver
upon Cox and pulled the trigger.
Officers said there had been bad
blood" between the two men since
shortly after their arrest, when Cox
was said to have made a statement
to federal officers and the report
became current he would testify
for the prosecution at Wilson'S
trial.
Frank Wilson, a brother of Her
bert; Miss Ellen Gillespie, Herbert's
sweetheart, and Mrs. Herbert II,

POLICE PROTECT
ROCKEFELLER IN
GOTHAM CHURCH
Officers Feared That His

CriminaIIy Inclined.
Hy The Associated Press. J

New York, April 9.--Police pre-
cautions were taken today at the
first services in the New Park ave-
nue. Baptist church to guard John
d. Rockefeller, Jr., whose presence
in the congregation, it was feared
might attract the crlminally in
clined.
The edifice cost more than
1,500,0 900 and will take the place
of the Fifth avenue Baptist church
in which the Rockefellers have
worshipped for years. The elder
Rockefeller is still in the south.
His son, who is leader in the BIZ
BILE class, said he was surprised at
the, bodyguard assigned him, not
thinking it would be necessary for
the department to look after him
at church. All persons entering
the building We're carefully scru-
tinized and the vigilance was con-
tinued until Mr.. Rockefeller had
finished his address TO the bible
class and left for home with his
wife and four children.
After the morning service, mem
bers OF the congregation crowded
around Mr.. Rockefeller and con-
graduated him for the part he
and his father had taken in bring
ing the erection of the building to
completion. Elevators are one OF
its features
Mr. Rockefeller told the bible
class that one thing above all 9TH
ers he admired was that, ''in the
great business he had built up, he
applied the principle of sticking to
that business and building it up"
He has never attempted to go into
"a thousand undertakings in which
he has been offered so many bril-
liant opportunities, he said.
