 were being assembled here Wednes- day by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company for use in transporting tire fabric from their plant at Goodyear to the parent plant at Akron, o. The tie-up of railroad transporta- ton facilities is responsible for the emergency arrangement made by thls great corporation with it's character istie energy and fereeful manner of doing things.
 A group of eight of the giant trucks each carrying five tons of fabric, left | here just before noon on Tuesday, and | five more of them, similarly loaded, got away late in the afternoon. Eff l teen more trucks were expected to ar 1 rive from New York at any minute, 1t was stated at p. m. and the remain 1 der of the 100 trucks will have arrived 1 at Goodyear, loaded and started on l their westward journey of more than 800 miles within the next 36 hours. 1 While the plant at Goodyear is be- coming glutted with finished fabric, | the plant at Akron is rapidly running l out of the material and it is absolute l ly necessary that the leads now being l sent overland be put through to Ohio l before the beginning of next week to i prevent the Akron plant. where 37, ,000 l employees are engaged, from being tied l up in his tire making departments. l Each truck that left here Wednes- day was numbered, so they may be | identified by persons sufficiently curi- eus to watch for them as they make l their way out of eastern Connecticut The advance guard of the big fleet I was made up of Mack trucks. each loaded with great rolls of duck GOV cred with tarpauliH.
 From Danielson they went south te Norwich, New Eenden, New Haven and New York, from where they vii proceed over the Lincoln highway tt Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, ths route taking them through the Allie. ghany mountains. 1t is expected tha
 the first of the 100 trucks will FeacI
 Akron sometime during Sunday. Trucks that make up the fleet art
 being assembled from New York
 Providence, Fall River and Connecti
 cut cities.
 The Goodyear Tire and Ruhbe
 company has for several years beer
 operating its own overland truekini
 system between Danielson, Goedyea
 and Akron, so the officials are eertail that what they have set out to do get tire fabric to Ohio in spite of tn railroad strikes-can be aecemnIishe
 more speedily even than by freight, * What the cost fer this class c
 transportation will be can only be es timated here, as officials de not tai about that feature. Figuring the us
 ual charge of $50 a day for the ser vice of 5-ton truck, however, it wi
 be seen that one truck would cos
 $500 a week or $30,oe week for 10 trucks.
 \ It is figured that the trucks will | two weeks in making the round tri
 Coming east they will bring tire n the Goodyear Tire and Rubber con
 pany.
