Leader Predicts Quick Victory.
Chairman Sterne, in opening the meet
ing. declared It was a source OF gratifica-
ton to know that, though LOO men now
are out Of employment and their places
filled by others, not one single case of
violence, drunkenness, or disorder Of any
kind had been reported. Mr.. Sterne as
serted that the strike would not last an
other forty-eight hours.
Rezzin Orr, the first speaker Of the day
told the men that, though he could make
no definite statements, he felt safe in
saying that there was no doubt that the
strike would be ended in a surprisingly
short time by their demands being grant
ed. After a brief address, he left the hall
to attend a conference with the District
Commissioners.
In an interview with a reporter for The
Washington Herald Mr.. Orr, while refus-
ing to divulge the course Of the early
morning conference with the Commission
ers, stated:
Myself and the committee will listen to
any statement or concession for settle
ment that might be advanced through
the Commissioners by the street railway
officials, but no action will be taken until
report is submitted to the union at a
mass meeting and the men express their
wishes"
The first move Of the strikers was
made early yesterday morning, when
! within a few minutes after the strike
was declared, at 2:3O o'clock. the crew
j Of the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company, car No. IS, after run
ming their car on the cross-over at
Ninth street and Louisiana avenue
/ northwest, disconnected every motive
power wire and went to their homes
| The position Of the car effectively
| blocked traffic on Ninth street in
either direction until removed by coupling
onto another car.
The first public outbreak of the
strikers occurred yesterday afternoon
directly after the adjournment of the
meeting, when several hundred con-
gregated at Fifth and G streets north
west. As, the occasional crowded car
stopped at the switch the yell "scab'
startled the passengers. The cry was
| taken up by young boys, who. on
roller skates, marked each car in chalk
with the words "scab car"
The instructions given to the dele
cations sent to each barn by the ex-
tcutive committee were: Don't try ia
intimidate any one but persuade the
motormen and conductors to leave the

Jitneys May Operate Without
Licenses, Say District Heads
Fleets Of Autos Expected to Appear Streets Today to Aug
ment Curtailed Car Service-Taxi Chaufeurs Over
worked Trying to Answer Calls,

Jitneys will be permitted to operate
during the period of the car strike with
out licenses.
Announcement to this effect was made
last night by the District Commission
ers, speaking for the Public Utilities
Commission.
The regulation requiring, licenses OF all
persons operating jitneys was temper
arily suspended by official order so that
the people of the National Capital may
have a means Of transportation.
At present there is not a jitney in the
city. Before noon it is expected that
hundreds will be plying the streets
operating over the routes covered by the
principal railway lines
The jitneys went out of business prin-
cipally because the operators felt that
regulation would make the projects un-
profitable. The competition offered by
the railway companies was keen.
But with the railway companies oper-
ating irregular schedules and with the
Public Utilities Commission throwing all
regulations to the winds. the jttney
operators will have things their own
way.
Taxicab companies did rush bust
ness last night. After the street cars
were stopped, it was impossible for the
taxicab companies to meet the demands
made upon them Persons left stranded
in the downtown sections, at friends
houses, in the suburbs. and at various
other places far from home tried to
employ taxis. One company alone was
said to have refused more than 200 calls
within three hours.
TRxis Do Big Business.
The calls were what is termed by the
chauffeurs as distance" runs-that is,
runs Of more than a mile. The Terminal
Taxicab Company, which operates sixty
cabs and fifteen touring cars, stated that
every available machine was in opera
ton, practically from the time the strike
was declared, and that it was impossible
to get sufficient men to operate the ma
chimes.
The Federal Taxicab Company reported
the same conditions and that their men
had been working practically continu-
ously.
The New Taxi Service and the W.
Roscher Company stated that If the
strike continued they would consider put
ting on regular automobile service
paralleling the principal street car lines
