be exercised In the selection of men for these positions.
The closest attention Is paid to this branch of the business of the
Transportation Department, because it Is realized that It la necessary
to have men who can be relied upon to meet any and all emergeji
clea, as well as to go through the day's work with a pleasant and
accommodating spirit. Rules hava been adopted regulating the em
ployment of men for these places, which reduce toi a minimum the
chance for an incompetent person to secure a position on the cars.

One of the most important requirements from the street railway a
point of view Is that all employee shall be courteous to passengers
aod patient at all times. The position of a public service employe is
frequently a trying one .Some people fel that they have a right to
abuee him. At times it become necessary to dismiss men. This may
be fo any one of many reasons. While men may otherwise be com-
petewt, their manner mar be discourteous to passengers, or the-y may
