TWO BELLS February 21, 1927 E TWO BELLS C BOUQUET S Published by and for the Employes of the Los Angeles Railway Vol. VII LOS ANGELES, FEBRUARY 21, 1927 No. 38 We Step to Head of Glass For Witness Record We are all puffed up; inflated; swollen with pride; patting ourselves on the back; admitting that we are good. No argument about it. We step to the head of the class. Here's the reason. The company keeps a record of the average for each month of the num- ber of witnesses per accident 'obtained by each division. Our highest average for the year 1926 was 7.1, made by Division Four. That's only the beginning of the story. Early in 1927, wishing to know just how good we are, we sent out a letter to various railway companies in the United States, requesting their average number of witnesses per accident, and out of a large number of letters sent we received twenty-two replies. Some of these are from the- largest street railway companies in this country and the following tabulation gives the figures showing where they stand in the important matter of securing witnesses to accidents, and where we stand, which is where the inflated chest feeling arises, and where we step to the head of the class: Company— No. of Witnesses per Accident Alabama Power Co No record Arkansas Power and Light Co 5.0 Key System Transit Co No record Connecticut Co. 4.0 Capital Traction Co _No recorc Georgia Railway and Power Co No recorc Chicago Surface 'Lines 5.6€ Chicago Rapid Transit Co No recorc Des Moines City Railway Co 4.1 THE NEW WAY Boston Elevated Railway 3.3 Kansas City Railway Co No record United Railways of St. Louis No record Grinding Omaha & Council Bluffs Railway Co No record Brooklyn City Railroad Co No record Shoe Heads New York Railways Corporation No record Cincinnati Street Railway Co 4 + Here we have the new and old ways Cleveland Railway Co No record of grinding brake shoe heads.
