and the checkoff on union dues

THE court Of appeals Of the
District of Columbia has held
that orders from WLB are
merely advice which no one
has any legal duty TO obey. The
court held that any one who
refuses to comply with the or
ders OF the WLB Is not defying
the government, and since the
orders are merely advisory. no
government official has the
right to impose punishment on
those who do not comply. The
Supreme Court has refused TO
alter this decision.
Ward has refused to agree
to any form OF closed shop or

fight; it would be impossible for old people
to cross the avenue with four tracks of
trolleys operating.
Father was profoundly disturbed by the
thing. As headmaster of one of the largest
boys schools in the area he went to see the
streetcar people They were polite but firm.
They spoke of progress. The new tracks
were laid now, all the way from Seventy
second to Ninety-sixth.
But Father had only begun to fight. He
recollected the saying about the Lord. He
put on his black derby hat that evening and
went out. Father was Protestant, but he
went over to the Catholic Church at the
corner of Ninety-sixth and Amsterdam and
talked warmly to the priest. They were pals
in the Good Government Club.
Early in the morning Father and the
priest and three or four Protestant ministers
took post in the trench where the new tracks
were being laid. They sat on the edge with
their feet dangling and smoked cigars.
The work gang came and lowered uncom-
fortably Presently the police came. Father
announced that he and his friends were pre-
pared to stay indefinitely.
Volunteers from the Good Government
Club and men from all over the city joined
them. The police simply would not touch
the men of the cloth. After while the heads
of the streetcar companies appeared.
And then the newspapermen began to
show up. 1t was story now. A schoolteacher
and priest and some ministers were buck
ing the transit cars. Father continued to
sit on the side Of the trench. He had
plenty of cigars.
My recollection is that the thing was set
tied that day. Work never was resumed.
The newspapers were in on the fight now.
Finally the outside tracks were ripped up
again, all the way from Ninety-sixth back to
Seventy-second. All Father had to say was,
God helps them that help themselves"

A tale of the ''good old
days, when an express
trolley line threatened
a city's life and limb

my FATHER believed that God helps
lyI them that help themselves. He proved
il when he blocked work on the Amsterdam
Avenue trolley tracks in New York. How
MANY lives he saved nobody knows.
Amsterdam Avenue crosses Broadway on
a long slant at Seventy-second Street. From
there it heads north, straight as a taut
string. At that. time it had four streetcar
tracks on it. The two in the center were for
underground trolleys - so-called because
the wire was strung in slot between the
rails instead of overhead. The two outside
tracks were just plain tracks - an
occasional horse car rambled over them
to hold the charter. The inside tracks
belonged to one streetcar company. the
outside to another.
The two sIeetcar companies got together,
decided to rebuild the two outside tracks
and use them for local trolleys and to use
the two inside tracks for express trolleys,
running through fast from Seventy-seonnd
to One hundred and twenty-fifth Street
with only three or four stops. They couldn't
foresee any opposition to it, so they started
tearing up the horsecar tracks and laying
trolley tracks in their place - from Seventy
second Street north.
KiAs in Danger
HERE were public schools all along Am
sterdam Avenue, and perhaps two dozen
private schools on the side streets. 1t was
obvious at once that innumerable children
would be killed. The kids had bad enough
time of it lodging two sets of trolleys.
The opposition was immediate, but didn't
get anywhere. People wrote letters to the
papers. An old-people's home joined the
