N HIS new office of Receiver for the B. R. 'T., Mr. Lindiey M. Gurrison’s first effort was to warn B, Rt. 'T. employees to = be polite. This is “old stuff,” instantly recognized as such by the public. ‘The reflection it casts upon the employees themse: undeserved. ‘The sufferings endured by passengers on B, Jt. 'T. lines have been neither caused nor increased by incivility on the part of snen employed on these lines. On the contrary it has been a wonder how train guards, conductors and others forced to do their work amid incredible conditions of overcrowding and ramshackle equipment have heen able to treat the public with the good temper and patience that B. R. T. employees have shown, es is, moreover, This politeness-to-the-public notice to employees is an old cam-| suflage trick by which those higher up in traction management seek to divert attention from neglect of service for which they and not {heir employees are responsible. "After the never-to-be-forgotten mixup which followed the sepa-| ration of cast and west side subway traffic in Manhattan, with the! opening of the Lexington Avenue line, Mr. Shonts can fame exhortations to subway employees to “be polite.” « New Yorkers who went through the experience of that wretch edly engineered and executed change had little to complain of in the way they were treated by Interborough emp from the fact that the latter bad been so meagrely instructed by their] euperiors, while the ecial guides provided were so few and far between that with the utmost willingness to help the tens of thou sands of lost and bewildered the subway force was utterly unequal yet the task. It was not their fault. There are few more harassing, uncomfortable, nerve-wracking jobs than that of guard or conductor on the subway or on the B. R. 1 out with the yees. The trouble came | and politeness of the great majority of these work- €r6 are something the public appreciates if their employers do not. In the case of the B, R.
