TRUCKS HANDLED
RUBBER WORKERS
Akron Street Car Strike Did Not
Seriously Affect Factory Employees.

Akron, July 26.-Akron recently ex-
perienced a trolley strike lasting IL
days. During that time S4,687 work
ers were transported daily by auto
mobiles. The entire population of
5000 people was moved by motor
vehicles.
Most of the $4,000 employees of the
% rubber companies were transported
by motor bus lines established by the
companies Plans for the operation
of these lines were made long before
the cars ceased to run, stops and
schedules for all routes being laid out
in advance. The problem was fur
Their complicated by the fact that the
rubber factories were working three
shifts.
During the 12-day period more than
130,000 employees were transported by
the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Com
pany trucks and motor BUSES and
the total distance travelled in the g.
100 trips was approximately $4,000
miles. This is a distance greater
than two round trips between New
York and Los Angeles.
Routes were laid out in all districts
reached by the trolleys and scheduled
stops were made at fixed points. En-
ployes went to the nearest stop and
with the knowledge that a truck
would be there at a certain time, were
assured speedy transportation to the
factory or the stop nearest their
homes.
According to records in the time
keeping departments, truck service
was more efficient than the trolleys.
During the 12-day strike period there
was no serious increase in hardness
among the thousands of Goodyear
employees.

Joint Body
Meets Favor
OF Japanese
Commission to Solve
California Problem
Meets Approval Of
High Officials

Toxic, Sept. "a. = Suggestions
that Joint high commission be
appointed to find a solution Of the
California problem appear to be
favored In responsible circles here.
Viscount Kentaro Kaneko, priyy
councillor: Viscount Eiichi Shibusa-
wa, chairman of the Toxic Bankers
association. and Premier Hara have
been comforting frequently, and the
impression has ben gained that the
proposition for a joint commission
was the outgrowth of meetings of
prominent Americans and Japanese
in this city last spring. y.
Details of the plan are nuebulous,
but the Asahi Shimbun Of Asaka
says the underlying idea is for
President Wilson to name a COM
mission including the secretary OIL
state, some senators and represent
atives and also we'll qualified Japa-
nese link Viscount Takaaki Kato,
former Japanese ambassador to
Great Britain. Succeeding steps,
the newspaper saSs, would be Japa-
nese. insistence upon treaty rights,
and then an appeal to the supreme
court Of the Unitea States, asking
that operation of California statues
be suspended. The newspapers be-
lieve the Japanese public is pessi-
mistic over the present negotiations
and has tendency to criticize the
cabinet for adopting what is de-
clared to be a "lukewarm, make.
shift policy
Unnamed peers are quoted by
the newspaper Chuo Shimbun OF
this city as counseling the govern
ment to exercise the greatest pa
tience in dealing with America, as
they are positive any other attitude
would be suicidal They point out
that If she resorted to arms, all
Japanese in, America would have
to be Withdrawn. which, they assert
.would greatly please Americans"

Bucttel Would
Punish Drivers
Racing Trains

Failure of motorists to heed the
warning of approaching trains may
also be placed in the category of
traffic law violations which sub
ject the offender to revocation Of
his drivers license If Fred G. Buch-
tells suggestion to railroad heaus
and the secretary of states office
has any effect.
The commission, Buchtel states,
is in almostt daily receipt of reports
from the railroads relating to auto
mobile drivers who ignore the warn
ing signal of trains and continue in
their made race to claim righs-sr.
way at grade crossings. Many SER
ious accidents have been due -
just such recklessness on the part
Of motorists, Buchtel states. and
countless other accidents have been
narrowly averted only through the
fact that trainmen, cognizant of the
recklessness of the average motor
ist. has given him the benefit of
the doubt and slackened the speed
of his train many times at enor-
nous expense to the railroad com
panies.
"Failure to heed the whistle sig
nails of an approaching train not
only endangers the lives of the oc-
cupants of the automobile but also
jeopardizes the safe operation OF
trains" Buchtel states. in letter
to A. T. Mercier, superintendent OF
the Southern Pacific company. in
acknowledging receipt of the most
recent report of this type of reck-
Iessness. Racing a train TO cross
ing is an exceedingly dangerous
practice wherein the loser may cas-.
lily. and not infrequently does, for
felt his life for an eror in judgment
of speed"
The time has come when some
action should be taken to put a
stop to this practice, according to
Buchtei who recommends that in
the future railroad companies re-
mort these cases together with the
license number of the automobile
or truck to the secretary OF states
office,
In this connection Buchtel calls
attention to the provision Of the
new automobile law which gives
