mittee had taken no action up to
o'clock on Mayor Hanpns' declara-
ton that he would take steps to Op-

on all municipal lines. The mayor
has threatened to evtend operation
to privately owned linese, "with or
without permit"
Restaurant owners and others have
attempted to resume normal busi-

dered all union exemption signs on
trucks or cars of any kind torn off.

consent of any union.'

appearance of being guarded by uni

lice stars and by more than 400
regular policemen, a large number
of whom are equipped with carbines.
