“Where do the gripmen come from?”
a strong lrmed. blue uniformed em-
ployee of the Washington and George
town railway was asked last night as be
left his car at the end of the route for a
cup of coffee and a sandwich in the all
night restaurant.
"Why, from the country, most of
them. These fellows who are raised on
cigarettes and beer in the city don't
seem to have the muscle necessary to
throw on the brake and stop the train
on a down grade. Then again acountry-
man is mighty careful about going
through the streets. He' 11 afraid that ev-
ery man he sees step oil the pavement is
going to be run over,' and he is absolute-
ly certain that every team that comes
out from across street is going to collide
with him. it takes him about two
years to get over this fear, and then, as
he becomes a little careless, he hauafew
accidents that mash up fenders and take
the paint off the coaches, and then he
gets tired, and the road is ready to break
in another countryman. ”
“How do they break them in?"
“Well, they are mighty careful with
them. A new man on the grip is about
the worst scared object in the world.
Talk about your condemned man being
scared when he s walking out to be
banged—why, his sensations ain' t in it
with the man who's running a grip cm
for thelfirst time. To be sure, an experi-
enced gripman is on the car rigbtbe
side him, ready to throw on the brakes
and sound the ‘lookout' boll. Birt be-
tween the grip, and the wheel brake.
and the truck brake, and the ‘go ahead’
and ‘stop' signals, and the 'leok 0111’
bells, and the people jumping on and oil'
the grip car, your new gripman just gets
seasick. They say they don't , mind it,
but they're talking through their bon-
nets, that’s all. Then, another thing,
the way they throw on the brake yanks
their arms out of joint and makes ’em
good and sore, I tell you.
"There’s something funny about
braking up a grip car. I came from the
country to my job, but I wasn’t always
a plowhoy. When I was a young fellow,
I used to Work in a country printing of-
fice, and used to have to run a Washing-
ton hand press. Ever run a Washington
hand press—you're in the newspaper
business? What! Never run one? Well,
then, I can't tell you anything about it,
except that if you don't know the trick
you can't throw 'er over and got 1111 i111-
pression no more than a rabbit. You
may have 11 muscle like a blacksmith,
but if you don' t know the knock you
can't pull the lever over, but 1f you are
on to the trick, and don’t weigh morc'n
0.0 pounds, you can throw her around
just like lightning and make 600 i111-
preseions an hour—that in, if you've got
a good ‘dcvil' to do your inking.
“W,cll as I was saying, that’ 11 just
fellowsweighing 200 pounds, with runs-
cles on them like Fitzsimmons, go out
011 one of these grips with two couches
behind' em, and the 11 try they brnke' or
up makes all the passengers think theyl
Then a little fellow,
who don't look heavy enough to handle
a team of males attached to a snlky
plow, gets a job on the road, and he
grabs that old grip like a drum major
throwing a baton, and he'll get the
he brakes 'er up the passengers think
that the first waltz at the Charity ball
is just starting.
”But while he may be throwing on
the brakes all right he's kind of oil his
pins when it comes to hearing the two
bells for go ahead. You see, a new man
can't do everything at once. Takes
about a week to get the shiver ed, and
during that time a regular gripman runs
with the new man, keeping a sharp look-
out. Thcn the new man, after his week,
goes to the superintendent and has to‘
pass an examination. They ask him all
about the signals, and where other cars
cross, and where the ‘dcad men' are—-
‘dead man's’ a block you strike if you
don’ t let go the cable where you have
to, and if you ever strike a ‘dead man'
your job's gone, no its and ands about
it—and all about the street and so on.
Well, if the new man passes the exami-
nation, he puts up $10, and they give
him a certificate, and he can go and put
that up for a uniform and an overcoat,
and there you are—he's a gripman, ready
for 20 degrees below zero and 100 de-
grees above zero and his little old .2 a
day.
“The company 's breaking in six new
gripmen on the Fourteenth street line
right now. Two of the old men died
and a couple quit. Each line always
beeps abuut a dozen extra gripmcn on‘
hand ready for an emergency, so they're
breaking in these new ones. One of. the
new boys had an accident at Ninth and
the avenue the other afternoon. Ban
into an "A uacostiu bobtail car. By gin.
ger, I thcught he was going to knock
the thing clear to the Good Hope hill,
but he didn't. Scared? Well, the pas-
sengers on the hobtail wasn't half as
mar/ed as be was. He could hardly get
ofl' the grin to pick up the pieces of the
f1 nder H11 thought he was as good us
ing. Guess they thought they was lucky
to get off 'withas little damage. And
besides an accident right at the start
makes a grlpman extra careful for all ~
the rest of the time. "—Wusbington
