TRAMWAY TROUBLE
"ARMED NEUTRALITY." There were still a large number of men absent from duty on the tramcars yesterday, and tlie service was pretty much of the go-as-you-please order. This made for intense overcrowding in the rush hours last evening, oven though a twopenny faro was charged those passengers traversing the city section only on out-bound cars. No doubt a great many more people walked liome, but the trams were so few and far between that the new order did not make much impression as far as casing tho overcrowding was concerned. How long the present state of "armed neutrality" is to continue no one concerned is.prepared to say. The nfcn,are certainly successfully hampering the service, if that is their object, and the City Council on its part appears to bo tJkmg the whole business with philosophic- calm. The real sufferers are the public. Those who reside in tho suburbs are having a most uncomfortable experience for n» fault of their own.
