Chamber of Commerce held Thurs
day night in the club rooms it was
decided 20 ask the press of this city
and the members of the journalism
class of the University of Notre

the number of meetings that will be

ter with the newspapers Friday and

that war chest and Liberty loan
drives are given plenty of local pub
licity. and besides being a chance for
the students 10 get some practical
experience il will also give the news
papers a chance TO cover the news

.LAMBAST STREET
CAR MANAGE RS
Fiery Speeches Directed at
Local Company Heard
at Civic Club.

Fiery speeches and heated argu-
ments on the street car and jitney
service proposition by some Is or
20 members threatened at times TO
throw the meeting of the Stude-
baker Civic club into the turmoil
Of a pitched battle, Thursday night
at the Studebaker school. Those in
favor of the jitney ordinance were
completely overwhelmed, both in
numbers and in the outcome Of the
wOrdy battle by those who were so
strongly against the passing OF the
ordinance. that on several occasions
both parties became so aggressive
that it looked as if a rough and
tumble fight would wind up the
meeting.
Those against the ordinance held
that the jitney drivers in the city
so far had proven themselves to be
both careful and gentlemanly in
their occupation and that not one
case to the contrary had yet cen
reported. And that if the ordinance
was passed the jitneys would be
driven out Of business and the citye
only means Of overcoming its poor
car service would be done away
with.
Public Is Abused.
The street car service was held
up as an example Of the way in
which the public had been abused
in the way OF service during the
recent cold weather and il was
maintained that the jitney bus had
come 10 the rescue at that time
These arguments were answered BY
numerous others. the principal one
OF which was that the jitney bus was
the reason 10 a large extent for the
poor car service. PRIEST c. w
Copp answered this contention by
producing a South Bend Sunday
News Of eight years ago and read
ing a long article telling OF the
poor street car service OF that time
The article was written before the
iitney bus was known. Councilmer
/ G. : Goebel. r. J. Luther and Rev
| A Y. Babbs were some Of I'll,
| speakers against the ordinance.
Rev Babbs also spoke OF th'
