DISGRUNTLED MAN
SUES RAILROAD
LONG ISLAND SYSTEM DE
PENDANT IN SUIT
OVER FARE
NEW YORK, June 8 (TP)—A
rockaway beach attorney named
Asher Zeide has filed suit against the
Long Island Railroad to collect a SSO
penalty because the road charged him
throe-cents-a-mile for coach tickets.
Attorney Zeide said he paid 44
cents on the three cents a mile rate
on June 4. That was three days after
the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion’s order on two-cent railroad fares
throughout the East went into effect.
Zeide said he had the conductor sign
hie ticket stub, indicating the amount
paid. This stub will be uaed, said Mr.
Zeide, to collect the penalty estab
lished for overcharging by railroad
conductors.
Supreme Court Justice George Fur
man of Brooklyn has already issued a
temporary injunction restraining the
Long from charging its old
three-cent fare. But the road hasn’t
stopp'd it. Executives say they won’t
stop It until they get the injunction
order, signed by Judge Furman. Mean
while rebellious commuters are rid
ing the Long Island free —rather than
pay three-cent fares. The conductors
Jv»st won’t put them off.

thrill a crowd.

of 5,000 feet. While spectators gasp
ed, he hurtled through the air with
his parachutes still bunched on his
hack. When only a few hundred feet
from the ground, the jumper releas

check his headlong drop. He then
ripped loose the auxiliary envelope.

His shoulder was wrenched and has
body bruised.
Two women screamed and fainted
in the crowd.
