Whose the Punishment?

&NVJHEN the Board OF Aldermen meets to-
VI w night to consider the traffic situation
(which has grown out of the cut in wages
.aby the street ear company and the resultant
s9strike OF its employees, its members, as
S&guardans OF the public interest, properly
g$can have before them but one question.
8and to that question they must supply the
Snnswer. The question will be, What does
ssthe public welfare demand? Regardless of
gal that has transpred in the last two
Sweeks, regardless OF the heat and passion
Rattendant upon the strike. regardless Of how

franchise.
