PRETTY GIRLS ENLIST
in VALIANT CRUSADE
TO HELP JTTNEYNTEN
Active in Collecting Funds
to Carry on War Against
Ordinance Passed by
Councils Which Is Made
Effective on Monday.

A number OF pretty girls were in evil
denoe on Chestnut and Broad streets to-
day asking for contributions to aid the
jltney men in their fight against the jit-
ney ordinance recently passed by coun-
ellis, which goes into effect next Monday.
The efforts of the fair sex have met with
success SO far; they report that people
are giving freely. One girl collected more
than 500.
IL was announced today that another
jitney newspaper will appear next Thurs
day. It will be known as the Auto Serv-
ice News, and will be published by the
Auto Service Association. The only other
jltney publication is the Jitney Bulletin,
which is published by the Philadelphia
Jitney Association.
Former Mayor John Weaver, counsel
for the jltneymen, said he would appeal
to Judge Sulzberger on Monday to ask
for an early hearing in the jitney case.
The jltney situation constantly becomes
more complicated. Director of Public
Safety George ID. Porter has written to
City Solicitor Ryan asking his advice as
to whether the police department could
incur new debts as q result of enforcing
the ordinance, in view of the fact that
Councils neglected TO make any appro-
priation.
The jitneymen hailed the move as a
forecast Of victory, because the Director
virtually admitted the police were help
less. but the City Solicitor turned the
tables by asking Director Porter to COM
pile all possible evidence for enforcing the
ordinance.
Director Porter has stated that he will
act on the advice of City Solicitor Ryan,
and refuse to interfere with the operation
OF the Jitneys until the courts have had
time to pass on the petition for an in
Junction, filed by counsel for the Auto
Service Association.
Meanwhile the two rival associations OF
jitneymen are preparing for the coming
battle, but along altogether different lines
The Philadelphia Jitney 7;Assooiation
whose membership is rated at sos, on tho
advice of their counsel. John II. Fow, has
hit upon the idea of placing sightseeing
signs on cars, to take advantage of an
ordinance which excludes all Sightseeing
automobiles from the requirement Of pay
ing license fees. All along Broad street
the former jltneys may be seen bearing
signs reading "See Broad Street for a
Nickel"
