THE BLUE BUS LINE

We Wish to thank the people of Perth Amboy and Vicinity
Tor their patronage of our Buses. We now feel that the
people know a good thing when they see it.
A few days ago we installed one Of the most expensive
and what we conside4 the best truck for a bus. Our invest
ment was a big one and we were kind Of ~''shaky' as to
whether it would pay us, but after three days running we
find it does and within two weeks we will have another new
one of the same make and kind and we fell sure that the peo-
pie will patronize this bus as they have our other new one.
OF course there is no reason why our buses should not be
patronized. Our new SERVICE bus is the best one in town.
The big springs make her glide along the road. 1t will make
as good time, if not, better time than the others. There will
never have to be any time lost because of punctures as we have
no pneumatic tires, our big springs taking absorbing all the
shock.
The bus itself is the largest, coolest, roomiest, most COM
Portable and most beautiful bus running. Another new one Of
the same make will soon be running. Again thanking you for
your patronage, we remain,
Ell. KOONS, N. O'BRIEN, F. SCTANTZ, y}as
Sole Owners and Props.

Negroes Not the Aggressors
Says Secretary Shillady.


John r. Shiliady. Secretary oi

the following to say OF its cause:
Mr.. Shillady declares the Ne

Says:
Such an outbreak as that thru
which it is hoped Chicago has
safely passed did not arise out OF 4
single incident. What the citizens
OF Chicago should concern them
selves with, is the more far reach-
ing causes which made white mobs
join IN mass attacks upon the Ne
groes of the city. 1t is deeply
significant that the SO called riot
zone has been confined. since the
first days rioting to what has been
familiarly called the black belt
This res riction OF the riot area
is conclusive prof that the Ne
groes were not the aggTessors in
the conflict. No mass attacks
have been made upon the white
citizens OF the SO called white
sections. The public should bear
these facts in mind and not be
misled into the assumption that
because the police are concentrat-
ing in the black belt that the col
ored people are the dangerous el-
ement. .
