The more the external mechanism with which or on which the action is carried out becomes schematized, the more the action itself will appear in its true character. In the method of my experiments with the motormen, accordingly, I had to satisfy only two demands.
She increases the gross income of that railroad by about three dollars and sixty-five cents a year with each child to which she gives birth. Therefore the street railroad should properly serve the public that gives the road its value. Next in importance to the traveling public come the human beings that work on the street railroad the conductors, motormen, gatemen, gripmen, engineers, etc.
At nineteen she was teaching school for eight months of the year and the other four peddling toilet articles and a few side lines and now planning to feed the motormen on the interurban trolleys. "Well, well! I guess she got it from the Norse sailor," sighed Mrs. Buck picking up another potato. Uncle Billy's Diplomacy
Was she on the road in her little blue car selling toilet articles? Would she feed the motormen and conductors, in spite of having been up until morning? Of course she would! Judith was not the kind of girl to fail in an undertaking and to let men go hungry. "Half past five! She furnishes dinner for the men on the six-thirty. I wonder what she is giving them to-day?"
The students have come largely from among railroad clerks, bank clerks, bookkeepers, teachers, preachers, mechanics, salesmen, drug clerks, city and United States government employees, widows, nurses, housekeepers, brakemen, firemen, engineers, motormen, conductors, and shop hands.
"They've called out the police. Any one who wants to run a car will be protected all right." "You don't know how to run a car," rejoined the voice. "I won't apply as a motorman," he answered. "I can ring up fares all right." "They'll want motormen, mostly." "They'll take anybody; that I know."
Sometimes I kinder pinch myself ter see if I ain't daid an' gone ter Heaben." Uncle Billy Smiles Judith stood on the platform, swinging her cooler of buttermilk as a signal to the six-thirty trolley to stop and be fed. Thanks to the help of Aunt Mandy and Uncle Billy she had been able to furnish dinners to the motormen and conductors all during the snows of winter and the rains of spring.
I wonder how many nowadays remember that pretty bit of goods, Maisa Hubbard, who used to drive the racing cars in France, and was the particular fancy of half the motormen who drive on the other side of the blue water. I first met her at the Gordon Bennett of 1901, and I must say I thought her "sample goods."
The proposition was a sound business one, too, for all over the country men were employed to whom correctness of time was of vital importance switch-tenders, motormen, engineers, conductors, not to enumerate the thousands of other working people to whom being prompt at ferries, trains, cars, and their job was imperative.
If those various interferences are taken into account, the correspondence between efficiency and the results of the tests is fairly satisfactory. It justified me in proposing that the experiments be continued and in regarding it as quite possible that later tests on the basis of this principle may be introduced at the employment of motormen.
