‘Thousands of Peepte Are Made Victims of the Incompetency of the Management of the Brooklyn Rapid Tran- sit Company — They Rise in Protest. 0 (The Evening World invites letters| from the sufferers who-cross Krooklyn Bridge daily. Even the patience of the Brooklyn: ite—who {s fearfully and wonder- fully patient—is baginning to be ex- hausted by the. terrible daily scram- dies und foothall rushes at the bridge terminal on this side. ) “Rossiter’s kraal, as tho Manhat- tan entrance to the bridge is becom- 4 ing to be known, is the subject of f numberless complaints made to The Evening World of the crushing and trampling. In order to find out what people really thought, The Evening World yesterday sent out a corps of repor- ters during the rush hours botween 6.30 and 7 P. M., who interviewed the passengers i«fter they reached thelr cars—it was no use trying to Inter- view them on the platform of ‘Ros- siter's kraal." as they were too mad to talk or think of anything but re- f renting the bruises they were receiv- \ ing. ‘ And why this new arrangement? When it was announced the ratl- tate their “through service,” which, they sald, would abolish all cause of 4 complaint and quickly and comfoft- ably convey patrons to thelr homes. But the “through service” is not used during the hours when it is most needed, and only a small percentage | ¢ of the vast number of persons who drop nickels into the company's i pockets benefit py it. 1 It was more recently announced that the closing of the embarkation } platform at the west end of the ter- minal was done 80 as to facilitate the rapid filling up of cars from the plat- form where each afternoon people en- danger life and limb. But whatever the purpose of the change, It has failed, unless indeed the idea was to cause travellers the greatest amount of inconvenience and discomfort. As to the crush itself, this story oce!
