.Jitneys Thrive as
Empty Trolley Cars
Run in New Jersey
Armed Grew of 4 Operates
Each Vehicle on Traction
Lines as Boycott Contin-
ues; One Route Closed

CAMDEN. N. j., Sept. l9.-No dis
orders were reported to-day in the
trolley zone fare troubles. Traffic con-
dltions. so far as the operation Of cars
was concerned, were so nearly normal
that the Home Guards were withdrawn
from patrol duty tonight Fifty of
the guards, however, were held in
readiness at their armory.
Contrary to the announcement Of the
New Jersey Public Service Corpora
ton that it would resume service to
the shiDyards to-day, no cars were
op rated on those lines. All of the
other lines were operated to-day, but
traffic was comparatively light Some
OF the cars ran empty, save for the
armed crew of four. Jitneys did a
thriving business
Foramcn and departmental heads Of
the New York Shipbuilding Company
held meeting and pledged assistance
in preserving order when the cars again
start running to the yard. They ex-
pressed the opinion. however, that few,
Ii any, Of the shin workers will ride
IN the cars unless the new system Of
fares is discontinued.
Mayor Ellis declared that radical
agitators were responsible for most Of
the disorders.

"1wo of the five members have

has been directed IN the interest of

political dummies and know no more
about the complex problems of utilities
and their relation to the public than
d parrot does about astronomy.
THE verv best evidence OF their
utter mental ncompctency was demon

minded as to accept the present zone
plan.
"The zone system is a failure for two
