We will deal with them either individually or collectively, as they may prefer. It is necessary that we deal directlv with our trainmen, gag et the interest of adequate service and the safety of e public. During the past five years we have carried over five hundred million (500,000,000) passengers, with only one fatal accident, which occurred when a freight train ran into one of our cars. Steep grades and other physical conditions in Seattle make safe operation unusually difficult, but even with more favorable conditions very few street railways can show such a record. This result would have been impossible if we had been unable to deal directly with our trainmen.
