cFLUo STILL HOLDS
UP TRAFFIC ON CAR
LINES; 67 MEN ILL

With CT employees of the Pensacola
Electric Company incapacitated for
service, the influenza situation con-
tinues to seriously interfere with
traffic on all city lines. ]. G. Holtz1
claw. traffic manager, said yesterday
afternoon that the number of men
i'll with the disease is over 30 per
cent, g. of the employees being unfit
for duty.
Full service is maintained on the
Bay Shore line. but this is only pos
sible because traffic on this line is
only about forty per cent of the usual
number, owing to the inroads or the
disease at the shipbuilding plant, bay
shore and naval reservation.
Only three East Hill cars, two North
Hill and one Belt Line car are in SER
vice owing to the lack of men to take
out the cars.
Mr.. Holtzclaw said yesterday after
noon that the public seems to fully
realize the situation. and few COM
plants have been made, because of the
inconvenience suffered through the
disorganiZed schedule.

HIGH RENT CHARGE
SENT TO MAYOR

Protests continue to be directed to
the city commissioners by Pensaco-
lians who believe that they have been
made the victims of rental profiteer-
ing by rental agencies of the city. The
letters are being referred to the
Chamber of Commerce committee
which is in charge of the investigation
regarding rental rates in the city.
Because Of the continuance of the
complaints, the city has asked for re-
ports from the committee on specific
cases. Those who are on the investi-
cation committee are DR.. Louis deM.
Blocker. James NJ. Johnson and G. c..
Ball. The same committee is also en-
powered to investigate alleged prof.
teering in fuel charges, and if COM
plants continue to come to the COM
missioners, requests for specific inves-
LEGATIONS may be made.

HILLMAN'S is THE PLACE
TODD YOUR CHRISTMAS
SHOPPING.

1t is clearly demonstrated, as the
holiday season approaches; that the
best place in Chicago to do your
Christmas shopping is at Hillman's
neat, up-to-date and extensive de-
partment store, at Washington and
State Streets.
Every inch of space is loaded down
with a select and varied stock OF
everything immaginable, suitable for
Christmas presents and goods OF
every description, are marked down
at rock bottom prices and they are
within the reach of the middle clas-
ses as well as the wealthy classes
At Hillman's can be found every
thing to wear and to eat, for men,
women and children.
Mr.. Edward Hillman, President OF
Hillman's, who is one of the best and
most progressive business men in Chi
cago; is well pleased with the vol
ume of business, being transacted at
the present season and he predicts;
that a great tidal wave of prosperity,
will continue to roll over this country
for many years to come; that the in
dications are that 1919 from a gen.
eral business point of view will be
the most prosperous year ever ex-
perienced by business men, in all
parts of this country.
There is one thing, that must be
said to the everlasting credit of Mr..
HiIlman and that is; that he was the
first State street merchant, to employ
Colored people in his store. In 1908,
the writer induced him to place
Young Colored woman in his store.
Her duties were, to open all the mail
and to carry the orders and letters,
to the head manager of the various
departments and she performed her
work so well and efficiently, that Mr..
Hillman firmly made up his mind, to
90 on step farther, and employ Col
ored elevator men; then the mem
beers of the State Street Merchants
Association, set up a mighty howl
and a committee was selected from
among its members to wait on Mr.
Hilman and to inform him; that ne
had no business to employ Colorec
elevator men. In the running no
argument which followed, Mr.. Hill
man got hot in the collar and he mn
aIly informed the members Of tn
State Street Merchants Association
