Their offense was that having paid their fare on an Eighth avenue through car they refused to trans- fer at Fiftieth street to “the car ahead.” They remained dn their car in disobedience of the starter’s orders, and 4 continued to keep their seats after the car had been ehunted into the barn and the lights put out. Then, after some hours of argument, they yielded to police Persuasion and went home, It was a victory for the traction company, but it ‘was a victory of a kind with those Pyrrhus used to win over the Romans—it was considerably worse than a defeat. The spectacle of police reserves out to enforce @ minor rule of a trolley company's operating schedule furnishes a unique exhibition of corporation contempt for public rights. In noting the opening of the fall campaign against traction evils by the Merchants’ Assoviation a week ago The Evening World said: “An examination of the ground gained in the contention of the public against the trolley companivs shows that individual Initiative thas been more largely responsible for results than con- eerted effort’ Thanks to individual protest carried into the courts, passengers are better off this year than Test, particu:arly in ihe matter of transfers.” It fs to the revolt of the passenger that we have had tO lcok fur such concessions as have been granted.
