Wages.
One of the best things about statis—
tics is that it takes so long to compile
them that they're too old to get into
print when announced. An occasion-
al exception, when interesting enough,
like this: National Industrial Confer-

24 cents an hour in July. 1914. on the

ton passed away. When her will was Id
read it was discovered that she had eas.
left ten thousand dollars to an em-
ployee in a branch bank. She added
that she was doing this because of the
young man's invariable politeness!
We are writing today on the subject
of politeness because much criticism
.is being directed at the lack of that
quality the past day or two in the
manner in which patrons of the Nor-
walk-Stamford trolley line have been
advised of the fare increase. On Sun-
day: morning. brief and often un-
intelligible explanations were curtly
given to those about to enter cars and.
in some cases. church goers and
others were left standing, more or less
bewildered. in the roadway.
Norwalk trolley car employees lave
a. reputation and justly so. for filte-
noes. Their daily lives are full of
pleasant little courtesies to those who
use the road. Many of them are dis-
ilnct assets to their employers in the
cordial relationship they succeed in
establishing with “Mr. and Mrs. Con-
stant Passenger." But it should not
be required of them that, to .the nu.
ceasing vigilance they must exercise.
should be added the burden of ex-
plainlng to passengers that their nick-
el is no longer good for a ride!
The lack of politeness. or. at least.
thoughtfulness. must be sought for
higher up; it is curious that no official
was foresighted enough to have stolen
a leaf—shall we not rather say. in this
instance. a bulletin—out of the book
of the much-maligned subway in New
York. Those bulletins, although they
contribute» to the gaiety of Broadway
and inspire the paragrapher's wit, are.
nevertheless enjoyed and appreciated
by the public. Reading advance an-
nouncements of changes in routes etc..
the straphangcr feels that the cor-
poration is doing him the courtesy of
taking him into its confidence.
