ORGANIZATION
Of JITNE MEN
They Form an Association
to Fight for Restoration
of Old Routes.

Jitne operators have formed an as
sociation and plan to make fight for
the restoration Of their cars on the
streets, which the council recently
ruled them off of.
E. E. Murden is the president. Joe
Prime is vice president and H H.
vickers is the secretary
I'VE are going to make a fight for
our rights and to give the people the
transportation service they want"
said president Murden Wednesday.
we know the people are with US;
they want jitne service. It is up to
the people to assert themselves if they
want this service, and we will be
found backing them up"
The jitne men operating on Rio
Grande street under the new or
dinance. protested to the city council
Tuesday against being forced to work
on this street. They asked to be re-
turned to Arizona street, saying the
patronage on Rio Grande is insult
ficient.
Unequal Fares.
The jitne men. it is reported. also
want the council to allow them TO
charge an extra five cents to passen-
gers travelling beyond Piedras street,
because of the high price Of gasoline
and tires these days.
Fort Bliss cars are permitted to
charge 25 cents, yet the jitnes are
forced under the present ordinance to
take passengers to Stevens street for
five cents. It is three-fourths of the
distance to Fort Bliss from the city to
Stevens street
one jitne man, who said he worked
from six o'clock in the morning until
ten every night, told a Herald man his
average earnings. even before the
present ordinance went into effect,
were SO a day. From this, he said, he
paid about $3.50 for gasoline and oil,
leaving him but $3.50 day for 10
hours work and for the upkeep OF
his car, including tires

A JITNEUR,s PLEA.
Editor Ell Paso Herald:

Editor FL PaSO Herald:
There has been much said lately
about the jitnes being put out Of
business and the people put afoot. or
forced, as a matter of fact, to ride on
a street car, whose service is wholly
inadequate to accommodate the peo-
pie.
would like to ask the mayor and
council why they forced US back TO
the street car? 1 have understood
they had many petitions presented,
signed by many hundred people. and
some Of our most prominent business
and professional men, asking that the
jitne routes be left as they were That
you cast them all aside as If they
were nothing.
I'VE will increase our service to
give better schedule than We are
now giving, and in return you must
reroute the jitne,' I understand the
street car people said. The few
switches that they put in are not suf-
ficient that they should demand the
change the council made in rerout-
ing the Jitne.
As a result of the rerouting the
jitnes will have to quit business. Then
the public is left afOot, sure enough.
As matter Of fact people out at
Richmond Terrace and Government
Hill are up against it" nov. They
are to be pitied, as they are afoot now,
and If jitne can't make money on
the rerouting. they will be forced to
quit, then we are all afoOt
The parking on the north side OF
the plaza is an outrage. If someone
is killed there, who is responsible for
1t? And If it rains or SHOWS, as il
does both here at times, the people
will be forced TO wade in mud and
snow to get into jitne or out Of one
For those who cannot afford to own
car, it is up to us to take the quick
est mode of transportation to and
from our homes, and many Of US
choose the jitnes as it is the most
rapid The cOuncilmen have said their
intention was not to put the jitnes out
Of business. but by their actions they
have put them out of business and the
people afOot. may add that the peo-
pie in Mundy and Sunset Heights are
in the same predicament as those in
Richmond Terrace and Government
Hill. I ask the council: please rel
consider and give the people what
they want in the way Of transporta-
ton; won't you" Fred E. Justus.

Experimental tests Of a new anti

Wash. were made with officers Of
army truck companies at Fort Bliss
this afternoon. according to the in
ventor, who, with his wife. is at
Hotel Sheldon, while on the way

The device was patented in Febru-

around the wheel and a convex pull

ana the pulley keep the belt from

the hind wheels.
The belt is broader than the wheel
and thus not only keeps the wheel
from sllidding. but also is a substitute
for mud chains over sand and bad

made by Mr.. Guntner.
