the regular day men will still be at
their posts, it is stated. Realizing that
the company is confronted with a
traffic problem that will require every
resource. the men are doing everything
in their power to aid. 1T is stated
1t was explained that If the strike is
in progress for a number of days and
the greatly increased traffic on the
Capitol Traction lines continues either
by reason of inadequate accommoda-
tions on the lines of the other system
or because persons will not ride on ears
operated by strikebreakers, the Capital
Traction Company could not maintain
the schedule which it has in operation
today. 1t will be necessary TO with
draw some Of the cars SO as to give the
men some relief from the extremely
long hours they are now working. The
company does not propose to hire any
additional men under any circumstances.

Many Complaints Registered.

There was much outspoken complaint
on the Wisconsin avenue lines because
of this apparent reckless speed. Faces
of men and women were white with
concern while riding in the cars on
these lines. especially when there was
no slow-up at intersecting streets. out
of which had wagon or automobile
suddenly appeared to cross the tracks
there could have been serious accidents
That some of the cars did not jump the
tracks was miracle, passengers said.
There seemed to be plenty of cars on
these lines in the early morning hours
to accommodate the traffic. The Rock
vile cars, making as much speed as
possible, switched to the return track
at Wisconsin avenue and NJ street
without a seconds delay and imme-
diately started back toward Rockville,
Bethesda. Somerset. etc. for bi. loads
of suburbanites.
Strikebreaking conductors on these
lines In some cases made no pretense
of ringing up fares. When passengers
asked for % cents worth of tickets in
some cases they were handed five loose
tickets. not strips of tickets. pre-
sumably tickets which had been turned
in by individuals. One passenger on
one of these cars had the temerity to
ask one of the strikebreaking con-
ductorS:
Don't you ring up these fares we
are paying

of bodily injury. such high speed was
maintained down the long series OF

lers all the way around the face OF the

possible from the current. in addition

JEERS FOR STRIKEBREAKERS.

A group of union men and numerous
sympathizers were assembled at the
starting point Of the 18th and d street
terminal this morning. Difficulty was
experienced with one OF the cars and
John Wardell, leader OF the strike
breakers, walked over with an in
spector and a number OF strikebreak-
ers to assist in getting the car under
way.
The small crowd Jeered the party
time after time. When the car was
started Wardell walked deliberately
over to the crowd. and without a word
shouldered his way between two OF the
union men and went into the barn on
the opposite side of the street. Be-
yond a few more jeers the incident pro.
duced no noticeable result.

The strikebreaking conductors as
sumed threatening manners which
halted or prevented debate or COM

other passengers in the garb of me-
chanics coming to Washington on the
early cars on these lines, were saluted
with cries of "Scah," as they alighted
from the cars by other workmen in

Issue Up to Neutral Nations.

Whether other neutral governments
will admit American armed ships to
their ports is a question for them to
decide. but it is not expected here that
objections will be made. Holland is the
only neutral known to have barred
armed merchantmen from her harbors.
State Department officials did not wish
to make it clear whether it was manda-
tory for all American vessels to have
arms or whether they might sail without
them If they so desired. Previously the
NAVY Department under it's policy Of
silence as to such questions, had also
refused a ruling.
The Navy Departments position is
that it will equip with arms all ships
whose owners apply to it.
