MURASKY In case a car from each -line, arrived at the crossing at the same time the car flrsX "ready to 'proceed has the right of way. This order necessitates the car stopping 00 the near side of the street at a railroad crossing, but it does not susoend the ancient rule to stop on the •farther side, on signal - trom : would-be ' pas sengers. 'Some of the men — n'ot all of them-r have'repeatedly refused" to make the two stops, in the hope,- 1 imagine, that the public would bo induced, at Junction points, to cross the •street and "beard the cars on. that side. This company "would not have lf.afpp'ear'.for a mcivuit that ail of Us men are violating the rulcn.-or that all are. unmindful of -the public convenience, for we have many, very' excellent "and trustworthy employes. But In a. -larKO body ;of carmen carelessness and disregard for rules 'will crop.. out occasionally.. .Some men reach! fernlr.alt 'aheo'd of time and th«n leave behlYid- time 50 a« to have a lonsr Jay-over- at the end of the trlD. Both of these practices are prohibited because they lead to fast ' running and unnecessary 'dangers. Whenever a man is detected in this breach of .rules he is promptly reprimanded "and a repetition of the -wrong: brings more severe punishment, but even this does>" not seem to have the" desired effect. Per haps some .more drastic -punishment must be m«-tert cut for 'disobedience of the. rules 'as to stopping and as. to running ahead of time and leav.tiK behind time, before the practice can be Rexmanently broken up. The time sched ules have received my ow.n personal inspection and ample time Is given for all slops. • It has been a rule of. street railroading, "ever since the days of horse "cars, to stop on the farther crossing whenever -any passenger wished tc take or leave .the car. This rule is *UH the. rule of- the "United Railroads. It has also been the custom where- dne railroad crossed another to give one line the preference or right- of way. These rights of way- were supposed to be commuted to memory by the motcrmen or erlpmen. lt : -was found that this method caused confusion and disputes and for va/ious causes many collisions resulted. The company, ajs a- precautionary measure, to avoid .accidents, recently abolished all arbitrary rlifhta.of way on the lines' under its -control and Issued an order that all cars must -come, to a full stop before crossing any '•intersecting tracks. • • " Manager Chapman oif.' -the • United- Railroads,' while -discussing yesterday, the- controversy that has lately aj-isen between the public and the.
