All Cars Are
Harrisburg
Within the past three weeks a few men
from outside Cities have tried to inject them
selves into the transportation situation of
our City, and by so doing have caused good,
honest Harrisburg citizens to lose their jobs
and inconvenienced thousands who daily;
rely on the street cars of this company.
The declared purpose of these outsiders
relates only incidentally to wages and hours
of work. Demands as to these would ap
parently be waived if we would conceive the
right of these outsiders to speak for our men.
To accomplish their purpose, they would
deprive between 60,000 and 70,000 people
proper transportation facilities, and inflict a
heavy loss and injury upon the business of
our City.
This Company believes that it is charged
with a great public duty—a duty to you—
the people of Harrisburg, and to its loyal em
ployes, a large majority of whom will not,
and have not been misled by these outsiders.
We have, and always will meet our em
ployes individually or collectively, now or
any time, in order to adjust satisfactorily any
difficulties that may arise.
Therefore, we ask you to help us and our
loyal employes (Harrisburg citizens) to
compel this outside organization to leave
the operation of the street railways of our
City in the hands of our loyal employes and
the officers of this Company, who have suc
cessfully operated the street cars for many
years.
To-day, we are operating practically all of
our regular full time cars. No strike-break
ers are employed. All conductors and mo
tormen are Harrisburg citizens. Daily;
rowdyism, caused for a time by strike sym
pathizers as well as so-called striking em
ployes, is dying out for the fundamental rea
son that public sentiment is against it.
And—
The passengers carried on our cars are in
creasing at a rate that insures our believing
that you—the people—intend to reject this
outside organization and send them on their
way.
