Motor Truck

During Strike

The latest bulletin issued by the
Goodrich travel and transport bu-
reau states that during the railroad
strike the motor truck again gave
conclusive proof Of how indispensable
1t has become TO the welfare OF the
country. When railroad Transports
ton failed. the motor truck saved
the day, supplying cities with the
necessities OF life. Without the
trucks there would have been untold
hardship and suffering. As It was,
the country weathered the strike
without disastrous effects.
The need for effective organiza-
tons 70 supervise truck transporta-
ton was clearly shown during the
strike. however. In most places the
trucks were operated by their in
dividuzl owners without any central
direction, with the natural result
that the best results were not OBJ

gsnization for handling the work
were we'll repaid for their labors.
