EVIDENTLY T. R. & P.
CARS Are I'm BAD"

The Tacoma street car strike
began to show signs of excitement
Thursday morning and Wednes-
day evening. Striking street car
men disclaimed all responsibility
for attacks made on cars and 9TH
err disturbances, declaring that
sympathizers were causing the
trouble.
A huge boulder, weighing at
least two tons, was rolled on the
Point Defiance cars at Ruston dur
ing the night, and prevented nom
union cars from reaching the park
Thursday. 1t was announced that
the rock was so heavy nothing but
a wrecking crane would move IT,.
A. Haverland, driver of horse
drawn express wagon, was arrest
ed by Police Sergeant Dew and Po-
aiveman johnson at 9th and
Broadway Thursday morning for
refusing to move his wagon from
the Broadway tracks. Haverland
is said to have proceeded slowly
ahead of car for nearly three
blocks, refusing to listen to the
clamor of bells and whistles set
up by the motorman.
Men at 18th and Pacific pelted
a non-union car with oranges,
lemons and grapefruit Wednesday
evening, after guard riding on
the car had made a grimace at
them, according to bystanders.
The fruit was seized from a side
walk stand.
The guard was hit in the head
with an orange. A grapefruit
struck the conductor on the chest,
breaking open and throwing Juice
over his uniform. Three windows
in the car were broken.

DELAYS
LAWSUIT

For the reason, as F. d. Oak
ley, attorney for the T. r. & p.
Co., told reporters, that the
company doesn't want the street
car case made the football of
politics." the case of the public
service commission against the
T. r. & p. Co. and the striking
trainmen was transferred from
Judge yesterdays court, where
it was to have been heard, Thurs
day morning, to Judge Chapman's
court, and continued until Fri
day, as Judge Chapman is away on
vacation.
A crowd of trainmen that filled
the hall on the third floor of the
courthouse was present In expec-
tation that the case would be
heard.
There was much disappoint-
ment among them and accusations
of "stalling" were freely made.
II. II. 4 p. to Delay.
Judge yesterday stated, in
naming Judge Chapman to hear
the case, that he did so because
counsel could not agree on an out
of-town judge.
Acknowledgement Tanner sug-
gested Judge Mitchell of Olympia,
and Homer T. Bone, attorney for
the trainmen, said he would be
satisfied with any judge. Oakley
favored setting the case for next
Monday, but Tanner and City At
torney Harmon urged that 1t be
set for tomorrow.
ut seems likely enough said
Harmon, that as nobody knows
just where to find Judge Chap
man, and as other delays may
arise, there may be more post
ponements, and IL we have sew
eral days between each one we'll
never get anywhere.
Oakley stated to Harmon and
Tanner that he would not be
ready for trial Thursday, and that
he would insist on delay. To re-
porters he said he was "as anx-
ious as anybody to hurry the
matter along"
Nine More Defendants.
Among spectators disappointed
by the delay was Corporation
Counsel Caldwell of Seattle, who
came, he said, to learn what the
attitude of the company's attor-
neys was, in order to shed some
light on the situation in Seattle.
Nine more defendants have
been added to the list which pre-
viously numbered 1872. Edward
McMorrow and f. A. Hoover of
the Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railway En-
ployes, and the seven trainmen
whose reinstatement is the sub
ject of dispute, are the new de-
PENDANTS.

GETS
OUT OF
CONTROL

Running backward down st.
Helens ave. for three blocks
Thursday morning while the mo-
torman, conductor and armed
guard made frantic efforts to stop
it's mad flight, Sixth avenue
street car operated by non-union
carmen, nearly collided with a half
dozen automobiles, and caused a
mild panic on the street.
The car began running away at
9Th and st. Helens, when the mo-
torman exhausted the air supply
in the tanks of the cars airbrake
system. All three men on the car
became excited, according to spec
tators, and made desperate efforts
to stop the car by manipulating
the hand-brakes.
Autos and pedestrians lodged
out of the way as the car, sound
ing no warning, raced backwards
towards the business section of
the city. At 9th street the hand
brakes took effect, and the car

While a large crowd of men and

car barns arrived in an automobile
and the car was started back to

Other important occurrences
were:

composed of carmen from Taco

Ills Is TIE new array OF
forces in the world war.
The submarine is the engine of
starvation; the tractor is the ell
CINE of plenty.
The submarine stands for de-
struotion; the tractor for produc-
tor.
1t is the submarines mission to
starve the allied world into sub
mission to Germany, it is the
tractors purpose to nourish it
for victory over kaiserism.
Henry Ford has invented the
tractor. lie has perfected it
lie is beginning to manufac.
ture il in large quantities.
Ford's tractor will revOlu-
tionize farming. II will null
tiEly the production of farms.
II will double. triple, quad
ripple the yield of crops. Ii
will stock the allied worlds
pantry.
My tractor is a proved sue
cess said Henry Ford today. III
will accomplish all | have sought
for it to accomplish
Ford, the patriot, is fighting 1S
hours a day in the fore line of
the battle against autocracy. lie
believes victory rests with the al
lance or nation that can feed its
people longest.
And Ford is fighting to pro-
duce the food.
This is Ford's convictions:
If the allies fail to force a
victory with land forces, sea
navy and air navy, their last
weapon is the tractor. A mill
itary stalemate means "a war
of starvation. And the trac-
tor will feed democracy while
kaiserism shrivels from the
starving.
The tractor is neither as ro-
mantle as the submarine nor as
picturesque as the tank. y
1t is only eight feet long and
four feet high, a cross between an
automobile and traction engine.
1t can do any farm work a
horse can do, and at least six
times as much. One man and a
tractor can accomplish as much
as six men and six horses.
The yield of a farm depends on
the labor expended on it. The
tractor will labor "a hours day;
seven days week; 365 days a
year.
1t will pillow, harrow, plant, cul-
tivate, reap, furnish power for
farm machinery and haul crops to
market.
other tractors now on the mar
ket will do these things and do
them well. Four thousand trac-
tors were used in the spring
planting in Kansas alone.
But Ford's new tractor is to
the tractor world what Ford s
auto is to the automobile world.
The Ford tractors characteristics
are these:
1t is cheap. 1t is easy to oper-
ate.
1t burns gasoline, kerosene or
alcohol.
II is simple to construct.
It can be built in vast quanti-
ties.
Quantity production" is the
keynote of Ford's plan for defeat
ing the submarine with the trac-
tor. The more tractors, the more
food.
Ford has begun to build
tractors for England at his
experimental plant at Dear
born, Detroit suburb. He is
