L. Fluck. president of the Northwest

Mr. Fluck nsks the oommiwon to
compel the compnny to top its enre

new b'ock mimber nnd nt nil street

cepting diagonal streets
Mr. Fluck fns nmons other things:
"By the grace of the,co'mmlion enr
fares were increa'ed No.ember 1,1020.
In order to produce ndditlonnl revenue
for the Philadelphia Ilnplil TrnnMt Co.
to ennble It to increase the wages of
Its trnlnmen nnd other employes, nud
Incidentalh pa, dividends on Its own
Ftock. About $2,250,000 was imolved
In the promised wages increase. On Mny
1 last motormen and conductors on
the P K. T sjstem accepted n reduc
tion in wages from a maximum of "Vt
cents nn hour to n mnxlmum of 05
cents an hour. This cut. with u
reduction of 14Vi cents to truck labor
ers, will save the company approxi
mately 51,000.000 n ".ear
"The compam claims that the pres
ent skip-stop Bstem, which eliminated
1572 stops nnd ndmittedlv inconveni
enced one-third of the total car rider
of the city of Philadelphia, represents a
raving to the company approximating
$1,000,000 a year.
"It will be seen at a glance that the
saving in wages effective May 1 counter-balances
whatever loss the company
might Euffer as a result of the abolish
ment of the skip-stop system: and this
is the opportune time to accord jus
tice to the car riders inconvenienced by
the skip-stop system without injury to
the company."

He will show the correct and incorrect way of furnishini? dining-room, living-room and bedroom. His
background will be a complete portable room containing doors, windows, fireplace and mantel.
Beginning with the unfurnished room, he will add draperies, curtains, rugs and furniture, giing the
reason for its being used and why it has been so placed.
