AUTO TRUCK FENDER FIGHT
MAY BE RENEWED JAN. I.


The four-year-old fight over fen
ders- on motor trucks with the people
and the council on one side and the
big commercial interests on the 9TH
er. will blaze forth anew on the first
day of the new year when the last
ordinance, passed unanimously by
the council, becomes effective.
A bitter court fight that will cost
thousands of dollars and drag things
along for months while people are
being manned and killed by fender
less auto trucks is expected.
The Motor Truck Owners assn,
with managers of big department
stores, express companies, mail or
der houses, wholesale houses and
public utilities, has held several
meetings and raised a large sum to
stop the efforts of the council to pro-
tect the people, by fighting the new
ordinance in court.
Aside from the meetings of the as
ISOLATION of big business men, there
has been considerable gum-shOe
work to raise enough money to hire
crack lawyers who can stall the or
dinance in court
Even if the law is finally declared
valid and the firms are ordered to
equip their machines with tenders,
they figure they, can save money if
they can delay things for another
half year or more. The number of
people who will be slain by trucks in
this time does not enter into their
calculations. They, are insured
against such accidents and do not
propose to- add to expenses by buy
ing tenders for their trucks.
The fight for tenders started four
years ago when the father of Aid.
Otto Kerner was killed by motor
truck on Christmas eve, 1912. Ker-
ner put his ideas before the city
council and the first fender law was

published today compiled by Thos.
NJ. Kilbride, secretary Of the state

Two suicides a day.
An arrest every seven and one-haIf

first of this year. Then the council
passed an ironclad law which was
drawn up by the best ordinance law
yers in the city. It will come in for
it's test after the first of the year.
When the chief of police is called
upon to issue certificates Of approval
to the five tenders which have been
tested by city engineers and ap-
proved of as efficient, the motor
truck owners are expected to go to
court for an Injunction.
The ordinance requires that fen
der of the basket type, five of which
are named as efficient by the city,
shall be attached to all motor trucks
of capacity Of more than 1900
pounds. Tests have proven that in
SO cases out of 100 this fender will
pick up and carry the unfortunate
person who is hit by the machine.
other figures have shown that big
majority of deaths caused by such
are a result of the person being run
over; a truck seldom hits with speed
enough to cause fatal injury unless
the body is carried under the wheels.
City engineers say that tenders
viii not lessen the number Of acct
dents. But they will cut down the
number of deaths resulting from
these accidents.

brilliant, though he was an honor man
of his class at the War College, for
he was not made a colonel until he
was So years of age. This was his
grade when the war came on, and
