This made ssary for the average worker to get up in the morning from a half hour to three quarters of an hour earlier in order to keep his job. After this had been tolerated for a considerable length of time, there appeared on the scene a committee, | known as the City Charter Com- mittee, This outfit in taking peti- tions to be on the ballot, urged the; workers to vote for a city manager form of government, promising them lower street car fares, better streetcar servi conditions.
