LONDON, Deec. 16—“Yerkes' strap- hangers,” as the discontented travelers on the Americanized Underground Rail- | way have been nicknamed, certainly | mean business. They have registered their objection to overcrowding in the | cars, as all the world knows; but just | how they are going to make it count has, \up to this time, been a matter of con- | Jecture. | However, in the course of an inter- | view which obtained to-day with thi representative of onme of the largest “straphanger assoclations” in London, the steps which the public intends to take in the matter were made quite clear. F. W. Galton, secretary of the London Reform Union, .which has taken up the fight in the interests of travelers, when asked what they were going to do about it, said: “There have alreacy been organized in London -no less than three socleties of ‘straphangers,’ whose sole purpose is to make tne railway management stop over- crowding. Two firms of lawyers have taken up the cudgels on beha.- of a num- ber of grieved ‘straphangers,’ while the Society of Travelers and our association, the London Reform Union, are out gun- ning for the railways with similar objects. “‘Hundreds of letters have been written to u¢ denouncing the use of American crushing on the underground rallways. We have formally drawn up these let- ters and presented them to the Board of Trade, which has control of all passenger traffic in England, and that body has sent !a petition to the railway companies, de- manding an abatement of the nuisance.’ “What time do you consider traffic to be most congested?”’ was asked. APPEAL TO TRADE BOARD. “The most ‘overcrowded’ moment in London,” said Galton, “has been offi- cially ascertained to be 715 p. m. It seems at this time the whole town is on the move and the railway companies point out that, if everybody insists on going home at one particular moment, there must be overcrowding in the na- ture of things. While we admit this, we demand more cars; and the chances are we will get them or know the reason why. District railway officials have promised to do better for the public, but we do not believe railway promises, and are getting ready our legal machinery." ‘“‘But suppose the appeal by the Board of Trade be ignored?’ was suggested; “what then?" “If the appeal to the Board of Trade does not result in an immediate better- ment of the service, so that every one, or nearly every one, will have a seat, a_ number of ‘rest cases’ will be brought in the special court for hearing. these cases, known as the Court of Railway and Canal Commissions, presided over by Lord Cob- ham and Sir Frederick Peel, each draw- ing $10,000 a year, and a special Judge, with a salary of $25,000 per annum. The pecullarity of this court is that even if the passenger wins he must pay his own costs, which often run into some thou- sands of dollars. It is for the very pur- pose of enabling aggrieved travelers to meet these costs that organized associa- tions have entered the contest. CARS NOT SATISFACTORY. “Funds will be raised to fight for the unseated public. which intends to sit down if it costs them $1000 a seat. If the railway company by any technical- ity wins its case, then representa- tives of the straphangers may bring in a bill to Parliament and a big agitation, with the appointment of a possible royal commission, will keep the matter before the public, and something will have to happen. ““One thing is very evident,” coni the Secretary, “London 's:nnhnn:e‘rl:";g not intend to sit quietly, or, rather, stand, and let the railway companies crowd them as they please, as is done in America. 1f the Brooklyn bridge crush took place in London the public would stmply not stand for it.” As a matter of fact, there has beén so much furor created over the methods brought into play fince the introduction of the American system, as operated on to the utility of American cars on this service.
