F. r. Gordon, acting secretary
of the temporary Jitney Bus as
ISOLATION, issued a lengthy state
ment today to show injustices
done the jitneys by the city adj
ministration.
He declared that Mills Officers

Tacoma's jitney buses aren't
going out of business.
At least, not IL they know it.
At a session last night in the
offices of Homer T. Bone, attor-
ney for the jitney association, the
autobus men decided to reorgan-
ize On an aggressive basis, and
make concerted fight against
attacks of the Tacoma Railway
and Power Co.
Members of the association, In
addressing, declared that stool
pigeons" of the street car COM
pany have been employed to
harass the jitney men and try to
force them out of business.
He cited several cases in police
court recently, where witnesses
admitted that they were paid to
file charges against the jitncys.

M. p. Shea, former manager
for the bus association, was criti-

They have never lost popularity

jitneys, and 1t Is up to the jitney
men to provide proper service.
The only way we can succeed
is by fighting. propose we fight
every malicious attack of the
street car company. The traction
trust has bought certain officials
at the city hall. 1t does what it
wants with them. Therefore we
have an additional enemy, but we
can win by fighting"

Anyhow, the three other edi-
tors spoke In ringing words AMI
told cachinnating stories. We
tried to swallow our Adams ap-
pie and let Mr.. Thorne's folks
know how glad we were to be
there. And We were glad, hon
estly, and we really do hope that
his bank will last 10000 years
so that they can have 1000 of
these 30-year birthday parties.
And We hope they'll serve crab
soup at every one of them.
For that crab soup made us
feel that We were glad the Fri
bune editor and the other editors
made fine speeches, even il va
did make a rotten showing our
selves, and glad that Chester
Thorne's and Sam Perkins bank
is growing into a regular COLOSSUS
of finance, even IL they do run
opposition papers. And that's
pretty comfortable way to feel,
We find.
1t so happens that we have
several pet foes of various sorts
In this town-beside our news
paper rivals and their banker
allies. We've earned them all
fairly and squarely, we hope. and
we probably always will have a
bunch of them, some of the same
and some others.
But we believe, as we reflect
on it, with the taste of that crab
soup lingering on our palate, that
if we ate dinner with them and
the second course was bisque of
crab, that every personal enmity
we might have in the world dis
solve and float away in the stream
of that delectable dish.
We might hammer their public
activities afterward just as stout
ly and as whole heartedly as wc
do now. We're sure we should,
but, we'll, we'd like them all per-
sonaly while we were doing it,
anyhow.
AS We limited awhile back, we
wish everybody In Tacoma could
sit down at once at one big table
and eat crab soup together.

BY THE TIMES MAN WHO WAS
THERE


Oh, the potency of crab SOUP!
We mean real crab soup--bisque
of crab, 1t was called on the
Union club menu.
1t wipes out little enmities and
makes you love all your neigh
bors. It's great civic solidifler
and promoter of Tacoma spirit.
Everybody in town ought to
eat crab soup.
You see, it was this way:
We had dinner last night With
the bankers, at least with the
mobilization of EN- which was
celebrating the 30th anniversary
of the National Bank of Tacoma.
Now that particular bank is
Sammy Perkins bank and Ches-
ter Thornes bank and they-well,
1t Is no secret that they are riv-
ais of ours, or we are rivals of
theirs, or both.
Of course, that bank never did
anything mean to us, but then,
well, you know how you feel to-
ward players on the opposing
team. You're apt to become a
little formal, toward EN-.
We were,- but that was before
the crab soup course.
When we went into the dining
room they set us down between
the distinguished representative
of the Ledger and the distinguish
ed representative of the News,
and the distinguished repr ssenta-
tive of the Tribune was just be-
lyond.
And, while we like all these
men-well, you know, business is
business, and all that.
Beside (here is confess,on)
one of these three men fired us
once from a newspaper JOB.

fine, because we hadn't eaten a
