yW VYORKER’S ONLY CHANCE IS TO KEEP THIN. SEE that the Merchants’ Association has made some more recom- $4 mendations about the street raflway congestion,” said the Cigar Store Man. “Yop,” sald the Man Higher Up, ‘‘the Merchants’ Assoctation committce that looks after running the street railroads and the “1? system made a report just after coming back from the yacht races. There is nothing like a yacht race to make a mén realize how tho strect cars are crowded. “You will notice that the committee makes recommendations to the State Railroad Commission. The State Railroad Commission will now proceed to the vermiform appendix of the Adirondack Mountains and study the New York street railway crowding question from the poop deck of a canoe. Then the State Railway Commission will make recommendations to the Interurban Company and the Manhattan “L” people and the B. R. T. people, who will read them the same as they would read a comic weekly. “The only remedy in sight is for New Yorkers to get thin and stay thin. Then there would be more room on the cars until the men running the street railways got hep to the scheme. If they did fall wise you would find them starting anti-fat factories and taking off cars. “The State Railway Commission is of about as much use so as this town is concerned as a bartender at Ocean Grove. You remember that the members of the Commission came down from up the country a few months ago and studied the situation until it looked it was tame enough to eat out of their hands. “They issued a set of suggestions and hunches and gigs and straddles that must have stood a good bit for some stenographer. The street railway and ‘L' people were told that they must do a bunch of things that every- body in New York knows should have been done years ago. “We would put on more cars and lay more tracks,’ said the railway peo- ple, ‘but there is a strike on in the laundries.’ “The memory of New York being full of holes the incident slipped through and the proposition of squeezing the nickels out of the populace was continued as usual. It is now discovered that the State Railway Com- fission had about as much license to make recommendations for improve- ments to the street railway people as a deaf’ani dumb man has at a band concert. You or I could go to Mr. Vreeland and give him a series of wise|, a conversations about running his road and he would oonsider himself Ucensed to send a telephone message to Police Headquarters. As it turns out, he Was the same license with the State Railroad Commission, \ “This dignified body of experts on street railway transportation in a if large city, hailing from such metropolises as Oneonta, Canastota and-Canan- daigua, has been shooting with blank cartridges. The law that treated the commission was careful in specifying the salaries of the members, but it didn’t give them «ny power to do anything. Whatever they do reminds me of a women’s meeting in Connecticut passing resolutions against outrages against Christians in Turkey. The people haven't been next to this. It is very seldom that the people are next to anything in this town unless it vy comes up and slaps them on the face. “The street railway people and the Manhattan ‘L/ 'L’ people are going along as they have been going for years—giving the worst possible service for the highest possible price.
