CLAIMS AUTO HIT
THE TROLLEYCAR
IMotorman Declares Everything
AT Crossing Was Working Fine

The motorman of the Public Ser
vice fast line ear that ceilided with
an automobile at the Port Reading
crossing yesterday when the driver OF
the automobile, Thornton C. Kearfott
of Montclair, was killed. said last
night that it was a case of the au-
tomobile hitting the trolley a in
stead of the trolley running down
the machine. He declared that the
marks on the trolley car would prove
it. The automobile was coming aiong
the road at fifty miles an hour. the
motorman said, and the chauffeur,
apparently . could not stop. The mo-
torman, said everything was working
fine 1T the crossing and he had
sounded five blasts on his whistle
giving ample warning. The auto
mobile hit the trolley a about six
inches from the front, he said, show
ing clearly that 1t was the automobile
hat ran into the trolley.
Coroner Flynn this morning said
that the reason the trolley a was
hit on the side was because, accord
ing to the evidence he has collected,
the driver of the car had attempted
to turn off when he saw that a col
lision was inevitable and was rum
ming almost parallel with the trolley
when the crash came.

PAYFOR
6. TRA|NNEN
Total of S1O5,OOO VIII Be Paid
Out During Week of Sept. 5

Back pay to the amount of $780,
900 will be received by Public Service
Railway trainmen during the week
beginning September l as the result
of a ruling received by the
from the National Wal Labor Board
setting May 1 as the date when the
present wage scale shall be consider
ed as effective. le
When the War labor Board an
nounced its awards on June 25 the
question of wages was not finally
settled, the board desiring further
information on the subject, but 1t
was stated that the awards then ans
nouneed should date from May 1.
The company and its trainmen later
entered into an agreement as to
wages but there vas no stipulation
as to the date from which the higher
pay should be effective, and the COM
pany sought the boards ruling on
his question. 4l-7i"l
The ruling now received states that
the supplemental findings are a part
of the ward of June 25, and the eff
fective date of these findings Is tho
effective date of the award.
Consequently the back pay to- be
received by trainmen will cover the
period between May i and August l,
on which later date the agreement
between the company and trainmen
relating to wages became. operative,
and the money to be ~disbursed will
represent the difference between the
scale of pay in force May l and the
higher rate now being paid.

other obligations and securities issued
