Trolley riders nre today discussing
the possibility of nn extended campaign
of Ihe Philadelphia Ttapld Transit Com
pany for higher fares. They point tn

the higher fare rates paid by rideis in
several other large cities and ndd lo

board of the P. Il.''T. nt the Five
O'clock Club banquet Saturday night.
Ilerent notions nf P. 11. T. stock on the
the Philadelphia Hxehange is also the
snbiect of comment.
Mr. Stnlesbiiry, in his address, said
he considered it strange thnt car riders
obiecteil to pa.ving nn extra cent for
transportation when they voiced no ob
10! linns whatever to paying extra
charges on amusements nnd delicacies.
"And vet," said Mr. Stotesbury, "the
one Is a luxury of life, the other n prime
necessltj. The matter is serious. Wages
have Increased far beyond anything thnt
'might have been expected a car ngo.
and the cost of materials noccssar.v ior
construction work and new stock lias
gone up ns much ns 100 per cent. In
the face nf this the oiti7cn expects to
pay what he paid during a time when
running expenses were hardly more thnn i
halt what they nre now." I
Opposition to nnv increase in trolley I
fares was affirmed in a resolution
unanimoiislv passed jesterdav hy the
Central Labor I'nlon The action was
taken, (molding to delegates attending
the meeting, in consequence nf placards
posted in cars operated by the Phila
delphia Rapid Transit Company pre
senting a lompaiison between fares in
Philadelphia and other cities, and ob
servations made in the Stotesbury ad
dress The lesolutinn follows:
"Whereas, A systematic campaign is
now being conducted by the Philadel
phia Rapid Transit Company with a
view to fastening upon tho riding public
nn Increased rate of fare for trolley
service; and
"Wherras, It Is notoriously true thai
the whole attitude of the said Philadel
phia Rapid Transit Company is, and
always has been, antagonistic to the
welfare and best Interests of the citi
zens of Philadelphia; nnd
"Whereas, Any increase In charges
for trolley service means the further
squeezing of the incomes of tho people
for the purpose of paying additional
piolits on watered stock; therefore,
be it
"Resolved, Thnt the Central I.nbor
Union of Philadelphia and vicinity go
on record as. hciug unalterably opposed
to nny Increase in tho present fares
charged for the trolley service."

CAMELS are as delightful to your taste
as they are new. And, so satisfying,
that they meet every cigarette desire you
ever have had.
Camels are unusual; in fact, they're unlike -any
cigarette you ever smoked. That's
because they're an expert blend of choice
Turkish and choice Domestic tobaccos, pro
ducing a quality that meets your taste as
no other cigarette ever did.
Camels expert blend gives that mellow-mild-rbody
and frees the cigarettes from
any unpleasant cigaretty aftertaste or any
unpleasant cigaretty odor. You can smoke
. Camels as liberally as you like without
tiring your taste.
You have only to get personally acquainted
with the expert Camel blend to know that
you prefer it to either kind of tobacco
smoked straight!
For your own satisfaction compare Camels
with any cigarette in the workT at any pricel
