10000 Men Will Make
New Ford Auto Tractor

Detroit, Mich, June 19.-In an in
terview to-day Henry Ford confirmed
the report that he had Invented an
auto-tractor, that he had purchased
thousands of acres of land near his
home at Dearborn, Mich, and that
he would begin the manufacture of
tractors within two years. He plans
ultimately to employ 10000 men in
this industry. His tractor is the re-
suit of 34 years of work. The solu-
ton of the problem was in sight when
the engine for the Ford car was per-
fected.
What this machine will do that is
of worldwide Importance" he said,
is to keep young men on the farm
1t will reduce the cost of tillinH the
soil by one-half or one-third and II
will produce food in abundance for
an increased population. It will make
work. lots of work
1T will take ten years to develop
this suburban plant to its highest state
of efficiency. 1t is my plan to make
all my motors out here for both the
tractors and the motor cars. In fact,
all the iron work will be done here.
expect to plant the factory on 500
acres
What about your model town?''
Mr.. Ford was asked.
II don't believe in this model town
business" he said. The living wage
makes the model town. Let the em-
ployer pay his help what his help
earns, and there will be no need to
speak of model towns

J|TNEY'S FUTURE UP
To SERVICE BODY
Commission Will Likely Devote
Part Of August to
Public Hearing

The proposition of how to regulate
the jitneys was put up to the Public
Service Commission late yesterday
afternoon and will occupy consider
able attention of the commission for
weeks to come. The question has so
many angles that it is likely that the
commission will devote some time in
August to a general hearing in order
to get the views of all concerned and
to determine the measure of service
the jitneys are rendering the public
and how far the investors in street
railway companies are entitled to
protection.
The proposition, which has been
before the commission in the shape
of protest against the incorporation
of the Jitney Service company of
Wiliamsport, suddenly assume State
wide importance last night 1t
was precipitated by H. B. Gill, a
Philadelphia lawyer, who is counsel
for the Pennsylvania Street Railway
ass ociation. He presented q petition
asking the commission to issue an
order to the effect that no jitney can
be operated either by a person or a
company, until he receives a certifi-
cate of public convenience from the
commission authorizing him, or it, so
to do and by said order forbid the
rendering of service until the iitney
operators shall have filed and posted
their tariffs and schedules in accord
ance with the provisions of the Public
Service Commission Law. The petit
ton further requests that all such
operators shall file with the Commits
sion bond in the sum of not less than
S5,000.00 for each vehicle condition
ed for the payment of all damages
that may be recovered against such
operator by reason of the operation
of such vehicle, and that said operator
shall give continuous service between
hours specified and over certain speci-
fled routes, and make such other rea-
sonable regulations as to the Com
may seem proper.
Held Under Amusement,
The Commission held this applica-
tion under advisement. Commission
er Ainey remarked that if the jitney
operators deem themselves common
carriers they ought to file and post
the tariffs required.
The Pennsylvania Street Railway
Association operates street railways
representing 1883 miles, and the
property owned by them is repre-
bonded Indebtedness of s2SS,514,196.
These properties constitute 74.5 per
cent. of the total street mileage of rail-
ways and the investment represents
S1.5 per cent. of the total investment
in street railways in Pennsylvania.
In the Williamsport case, C. E.
Hewett, manager of the jitney line
furnished figures tending to show that
his company is prosperous. On an in
vestment of SILL 900 the total receipts
are $500 a week. The gross receipts
from each car are $1S a day, and 1t
costs IS per day per car to operate,
or cents per mile for each jitney.
The street railway interests, through
their attorney, c. LaRue Munson, gave
testimony to show that in some re-
spects it was a moral issue because
some OF the jitneys are so crowded
that young girls sit on the laps of
men, the jitney drivers solicit the
trade of the street railways and the

MOTORCYCLE RUN FOR

The third annual endurance run of

titney routes parallel the car lines.
He said there was no legal objection
TO Jitneys traversing some territory
but the Commission should not per-
init them to cover the route of the
chartered street railway companies.
He declared that If the jitney move
ment succeeds the trolleys must be
abandoned and become a junk-heap,
and said that If the Commission
ordered the company to put on cars
and make other improvements in
service his clients must do so, and
therefore their vested rights should be
protected.
Hurts Credit, Too.
10. II. Edwards. the manager of the
Williamsport Street Railway system,
made the statement that jitney COM
petition seriously impairs the stand
ing of street railways with bankers,
as the success of the jitney means
that the bankers will refuse to lend
money for street railway improve
ments. He said during the three
months ending April 30th of this year
the gross receipts of the system under
his management were II per cent, or
$6,791 less than the corresponding
months of last year. He blamed this
on the jitney and he predicted either
q reduction OF expense-salaries, etc,
or an increase of suburban fares.
n. M. Edwards, representing the
1itney people, wanted to know why the
Street Railway Company did not
make certain extensions during the
past twenty years to accommodate the
people before the jitney was heard
of.
AS to the testimony regarding the
overcrowding of the jitneys, Governor
Pennypacker said this might be a rea-
son for an order restricting the num-
Der of passengers in q jitney but it
would be no reason for the refusal of
charter; and Commissioner Mona
CHAN asked the street car people If
they ever knew of street cars being
overcrowded to the extent of one pas
senger standing on the toes of an
other. Commissioner Ainey wanted
to know whether 1t would be better
to have the jitneys incorporated than
to have them run by individuals, and
he said the question seemed to be
whether the jltneys have a right to
invade the territory of the Street
Railways and whether the service
which they offer is the kind to meet
the public needs.
1t is understood that one OF the
main points which the Commission
would consider in the jitney PROPOSE
ton is whether If a charter were
granted the company which receives
it could be restricted in it's operations.
In other words, if the Williamsport
applicants are incorporated whether
the Commission would have the power
to prevent their statewide operation
and confine them to the limits of
Williamsport. Briefs will be filed in
this case before the commission de-
cides it.
