It will be but a few days now before the operators, station
agents, train baggagemen, conductors and some other station men
are out in their new uniforms. There were a few instances of
kicking by some of the operators but they have all come to time
now and will put on the new duds with all the dignity which the
situation demands. It won't come so hard for the passenger train
conductors as they are used to good clothes, but for a fellow
that has put in his time fighting mosquitoes in a hickory shirt
and overalls, the new uniforms will be hard to break in.
