"With tho ntlrcnt of the nw zon
system by the Public Service Commis
sion in Camden only forty-eight hours
away, indignation nmong Camden sub
urbanites has reached its crest and all
signs point to a feverish time on Mon
day, when tho first real test comes.
Tomorrow, when the syMem goes Intol
effect, has such comparatively light
traffic that it is helloved no undue dis
turbance will be caused.
The railroads have been asked to pro
vide extra trains for Monday, and bus
lines and jitneys will come into service
between Camden nnd its suburbs. Par
ticular indignation has been expressed
by workers in the New York shipyard,
whoso faro "has been raised four cents.
Already they havo expressed their dis
approval by refusing to pay fares. The
conductors have been helpless when a
large body boarded a car nnd refused to
pay, and tho Public Servico Commis
sion has threatened to order the cars
not to stop at tho yards at all if the
practico continues.
Tho trolley employes aro alto report
ed dissatisfied and claim that they are
being made "bookkeepers" instead of
conductors.
With tho zone system about to begin,
Ihe terminal at the Federal street
ferry is uncompleted and, although work
Is being rushed on it, conditions will
still be unsettled thero by Monday,
when the first great rush is handled un
der tho new system. Passengers will
have to cross the streets in order to
reach the terminal shed, which Is out
on the apex of the green which comes
up to the ferry house.
