Anything that; illuminates the streetcar question these 'days is of interest to us all.
Here's something that is of especial interest. It gives us, as a community, something by which
to make a fair comparison with our own situation in respect to streetcar conditions. And any
thing that is so inseparably related to the public convenience your convenience as the method
and conduct of streetcar operation any new angle that will help the community. solve the problem
right and permanently is welcomed as eagerly by us as it is by you.
Six-cent fare has been inaugurated in Pittsburg, Pa., by agreement with ttifl Public Service 'Com
mission, to enable the Street Railway Company to meet the additional expense of an average increase
of 5 cents per hour granted to its employes. '
With this increase of S cents per hour the Pittsburg Street Railway Company is still paying its
employes an average of 6 cents per hour less than the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company
pays-its employes. The difference, however, is due to the fact that in Portland streetcar men work
eight hours per day, while in Pittsburg they work ten hours. On the Portland eight-hour .basis the
higher hourly rate is, necessary to provide a reasonable daily wage. ; (
Pittsburg covers only two-thirds as much area as Portland, although it has nearly three times
the population. . :
I v .
Thus it is plainly evident that the principal factor entering into the cost of street railway opera
tiontraffic density is greatly in favor of the Pittsburg Company ias compared to the Portland
Company. In this particular case it means that Pittsburg has just about four times as many pos
sible car-rider -j-for each scjuare mile as Portland has. j .
Incidentally, in connection with this increase granted in Pittsburg,! it is of general interest to note
what Pittsburg people did when the increase was decided upon by their Public Service Commission
as the best course to pursue. To make a long story short, instead! of declaring for a policy that
would mean ruin for their streetcar company, as a few here In Pdrtand would apparently like to
fasten upon the community as a public policy, they adopted a live-andAct live policy by consent
ing to an increase; under ant agreement bclwcen the Street Railway Company and the Public Serv
ice Commission of Pennsylvania until such time as a valuation of the company's property can posi
tively determine all the merits of the increased fare; This valuation will take .about i8 months to
complete and will be made by a committee of three one appointed by the City, one by. the Public
Service Commission and one by the Street Railway Company. The valuation of the Portland Street
Railway was made by the Puolic Service Commission of Oregon before the increased fare was
granted here. ! I -
This announcement is made for the information of those who may be under the impression
that Portland is the only large city with a streetcar fare exceeding 5 cents, and also to refresh the
memory of those who have forgotten that the increase in fare here was granted by the Public Serv
ice Commission for 'the. benefit of the carmen, and that the increase in fare will not -pay the in
crease in wages. 1 . '
