HUNGER STRIKE AT AN

Whether Force Was EMPLOYED Nv
Jail Authorities May Always
BE Matter OF Dispute.

Washington, Nov. 12.-Miss Alice
Paul. head of the woman's party,
and Miss Rose Winslow. hunger
striking in the district Jail hospital
were fed late Friday by the Jail au-
thorities. Liquid food was given
them through rubber tubes, break
ing fast of something over 72:
hours.
Whether force was employed may
be always a matter OF dispute. DR..
J. A. Cannon, the Jail physician
said it was not and that both wo-
men took the norishment without.

quarters, however. it was indignant

possible. The women pointed to-

picketing of the white house, went
on their strike in an effort to COM
pei the Jail officers to provide for
their fellow pickets the same speciar
food-eggs and milk-given them
when they were transferred to the
hospital section. They insist that.
even murderers in the Jail are per-
mitted to make purchases on the
outside to supplement their prison
fare and that only the suffragists of
all the prisoners are denied this
privilege.
DR.. cannon called in several 9TH
er physicians to examine the strik-
ers and give their opinion as to the.
necessity for forcible feeding. 1t
was agreed that both women were in,
such condition that they must be
fed.
The physician would say nothing
more than that the prisoners had
accepted nourishment without pro-
test and now were IN satisfactory
shape. The jail superintendent re-
fused to permit anyone to see the.
prisoners and to make any state
ment whatever concerning their
treatment.

Washington, Nov. 12.-An at

principal food commodities. At the

TWO INJURED IN
COLLISION OF CARS
Motorman Cut by Flying Glass.
Night Comparatively
Quiet.

Frank Wilson, motorman, and Leo
Wildman, passenger, of "a X street
northeast, were injured when an east
bound street car operated by Wilson
collided with a westbound car at
Fourteenth and G streets northwest.
The accident is blamed to the fail
ure OF Samuel FIelhman, motorman
on the westbound car, to throw off
the power on his car before coming
to the automatic switch.
Both cars had to be pulled to the
barn. The front end of the eastbound
car was crumpled up onto Wilson.
Wilson, badly cut by glass, was
taken to Emergency Hospital. Leo
Wildman refused treatment and went
on to his office. At the headquarters
of the car mems union this morning
the statement was made that the men
operating the two cars were strike
breakers.
Interrupted only by the occasional
breaking of a car window, quiet
reigned throughout the city last night,
according to office detectives who
patroled the city in automobiles until
daybreak.
An attempt to operate cars on the
Brookland line last night was pre-
vented when a car was short-circuited
by distractions early in the evening.

with disloyslty and admitted that
through fears OF imprisonment on

chiefs have passed the strike order
TO the men by spoken word. The
customary written order was aban-
doned, he intimated, because OF the

RAIL TIE-UP MOTOR TEST
Possibilities Of Highway Transpor.
tatIon Given Consideration,

An effective railroad tie-up will put
the motor transportation facilities to
the United States to a test equal to
If not greater than that which result
ed in Europe when the war began.
Motor trucks probably will be i'm
pressed into service for interurban
communication. Business houses
would utilize their delivery fleets to
get supplies.
The rail strike might, however, de-
prive most OF the country OF gaso-
lene and oil. Many Mississippi val
ley points could be supplied by pipe
line, as could some seaboard centers,
among them Baltimore, which could
supply Washington by means of mo-
tor tank wagons.
This would keep Washfngton's mo-
tor fleets in operation during the rail
tie-up, but dealers SAY prices would
climb.

information and received as pay for
this service 800 a month. Other Of
tenders he declared are known.
THE only way we can determine
these things" said Lee, sis to count
noses Sunday and thereafter.
Left To President.
Don't forget We left the entire
matter to President Wilson last Au-
gust and agreed to abide by his pro-
posal then. The railroads refused
to accept his recommendations to set
tie the question then. I have since
publicly proposed to leave the entire
controversy to President Wilson, to
say personally whether We should
have the eight-hour day in freight
and yard service, without reduction
of freight railway rates. The rail-
roads seemingly prefer a strike rath-
er than abide by President Wilson's
suggested methods of settlements.
Who Is disloyal to the Government
Lee declared that 95 per cent Of
the men called out Saturday night
will strike.
The railway managers cannot get
1t into their heads that this strike is
real, and, apparently, they will not
believe it until they wake up SUM-
day morning and find their trains
stopped" he said.
The railroads claim at least 90 per
cent OF their men will remain loyal,
this group being composed of men
who have long service behind them,
and are nearing the time when PEN
sions would become operative.

STRIKE WOULD HIT
/. NTERURBAN LINES
Some, With Steamship Com
panies, Would Have to
Cease Operations.
ALL Punched FOR COAL
Should Shipments Cease, Many
Would Not Have Enough
To Continue Long.

washington's steamer lines and its
interurban railways will be serious
ly handicapped and most Of them will
have to cease operations almost i'm
mediately in event Of a railroad strike
tie-up, according to frank statements
from company officials today.
All of them are pinched for coal,
and have been operating on a hand
to-mouth basis. Should coal ship
ments cease most OF them have not
sufficient supply to keep operating.
In no instance would they be involved
in the strike, but all would feel the
coal shortage. Washington has no
surplus coal supply and similar con-
ditions exist in Baltimore. Norfolk
is nearly as bad, though it is a great
coal center.
Cessation OF operations by the in
terurban lines would completely iso-
late the Capital, which is dependent
upon outside sources for nearly all its
food and industrial supplies.
Dependent on Washington Coal.
President Emmert, of the Washing
ton and Old Dominion railway, oper-
Gting to Bluemont and to Great Falls,
said his road was dependent upon
Washington coal supplies, and could
not operate IL these were cut off,
The Washington and Old Domin-
ion operates combination steam and
electric lines. 1t does not extend
10 the Virginia or West Virginia
coal fields, and II connecting railroads
ceased operation, it would be unable to
get coal from these connections, or from
Washington.
The company would not be involved
in the strike, though partly a steam
road. 1t has q contract with its en-
ployes.
1t was said at the offices OF the
Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis
electric line that the company has
sufficient coal in its power plant at
Ardmore to maintain operation, Civ
ing communication between the Capt.
tai and Baltimore, which is a large
wholesale and jobbing center.
Chesapeake Beach railway officers
say the company is operating one
train day in passenger and freight
service and can maintain this SEIZED
uls for some time.
Vessels Coal nj NorfoIk.
d. J. Callahan, of the Norfolk and
Washington Steamboat Company, said
today all of the vessels of that line
coal at Norfolk. The line has a con-
tract with one of the coaling com
panies for a supply. He expressed
confidence that the vessels of his line
would be kept in operation.
Officials OF the Potomac and Cheea-
peake line, operating steamers be-
tween Washington and down river
points, said operations probably would
cease II the railroad strike comes.
1t has been possible to get coal only
from day to day, and there is no sur
plus supply on hand.
The same condition holds with re-
spect to the Baltimore boats. Several
times recently difficulty has been
found in making schedule runs be-
cause Of shortage Of coal, both here
and in Baltimore.
Washington, it is declared. has had
a better supply of steaming coal than
either Norfolk or Baltimore, and the
local supply, almost without excep-
ton, has been only enough to keep
steam plants going from day to day,
or at best week to week.
