Stealing by Streetcar Conductors

A very curious and extended statement is made in the Evening Post, showing that the conductors of cars, as a general thing, are expected to steal enough to pay extra to the driver, the starter, the receiver, amounting to more than his own wages, so that he has to steal enough to pay himself besides. And it is said that all this is known to the proprietors, who are satisfied with the enormous profits that remain after the great sums abstracted by conductors, and drivers, and the rest.
