CARS TAKE STRANGE COURSE
WITH STRIKEBREAKERS

In the old days the horses
might be depended upon to
haul the cars along an accus-
toned route. But the modern
street car can't be expected to
get to any definite place unless
it is guided properly. This was
proved today when a couple of
Washington Railway and Elec-
trio cars, manned by strike
breaking crews. got lost and
went wandering about Peace
Monument.
They were both bound for
Mount Pleasant, and, instead of
turning north at New Jersey
avenue and { street, caused on
lockers much amusement as
they took an unaccustomed
course along the Capital Trac-
ton rails. The first car was
shooed away from the monu
mcnt about 9 o'clock by the
Capital Traction switchman and
sent back to Union station.
The second car about II
O'Clock got into more serious
difficulties as it was being
switched around the monument.
The plow hangers got broken
off, and Capital Traction cars
had to tow. and push the derc-
lict back to its own tracks near
Union station to await wreck
ing crew.
