Remember, the . date,- Th ursday , June
28. itUs expectedw that, Finney and
The Saturday Record's -comic artist Will
render several duos accompanie4 the
I;remethber the incident very clearly. I asked him to put the fare
in the box for me for the reason that in turning the curve, especially
when.thWe is no other passengers getting on the car, I am almost
thrown from my feet, or thrown up against passengers in such a
way it is very annoying. If you remember the morning before I got
on the car at this corner and was allowed to be seated without wait
ing for my change and to deposit the fare in the cash box; this inci
dent also was for the sa. me reason. I,have been accustomed in the
past to take my seat at any point on the line where the car lurches
to avoid bein thrown to one side or possibly from my feet, .which is
unavoidable unless the car is at a standstill until the passenger is
seated. I did not, do this with the intention of breakin g y our rules',
on either of these as welPas other occasions, but acted, to my mind,
for the welfare of your company as well as my own safety and com
fort. I have noticed a number of ladies getting on the cars at differ
ent points with small children or ; an, arm full of packages handi
capped in the same manner as I, being compelled to dfop the money
in,the box before being seated. , I
i feel it my duty to write this as an explanation in the matter. I
"think this suspension is wrongly - given, and assure you I am
very sorry it happened and trust that you will see your way clear to
exonerate this man, as I cannot see wherein he is to blame at all.
Vours truly.; MRS. E. J. SHEEHAN.
Mr. A.. B. 3kelding, General Manager.
On the morning' of June -1st, while
acting in the capacity of conductor on
one of the cars of the Tidewater Power
Company , Mr. Ii. Raynor was requested
to deposit the fare of. Mrs.; E. T. Sbeehan
-bi"tbe till'aa she ieariBd' that if she at
tempted Co do s6-;sheW,ould be thrown
from her feet and injured.; As is natural
with any one who has coinmon.cotr1;esy
Mr. Raynor complied with the request!
for which act he was suspended for 60
days by the superintendent. The mat
ter was taken up by theofilcers of the
local branch of the Amalgamated Asso-
ciation of Street Car Men and they were1
given but little satisfaction by the com-,
pany ofl&cials as to the injustice of the
