Cleveland plan praised as street car fix by public Rath
In Washington on August 15 the Massachusetts and Cleveland voices clashed over trolley reforms. Cleveland's city commissioner Fielder Sanders described a system where fares recently fell while wages rose, supported by public backing and a rehabilitated street railway. He urged wage control alongside rates, noting a costly two day strike and the city’s limited power to compel higher wages. Massachusetts officials warned fares must fall to raise net revenues and floated public ownership as a remedy, while Pennsylvania official Ainey pressed transparent costs and strong public consent before any fare hikes.
