UNION LEADERS CLAIM
 EARLY STRIKE VICTORY

New York July 11-with union leaders claiming an early victory and rail executives predicting quick return to normalcy, the strike of the six rail shop crafts today progressed without mo- ticeably affecting service on any of the eleven lines entering the New York dis trict.
 Passenger and freight trains contin- ued to run according to schedule. with only such delays as arise in the usual course at terminals, where thousands of trains arrive and depart daily.
 The Erie railroad. which yesterday suspended 21 communication trains, today annulled one more. besides shortening the run of a twenty-third, but empha- sized it's assertioni that an impending shortage of coal dictated this action. An early settlement of the coal strike would mean the immediate resumption of these trains, unless i've are crippled by a spread of the rails strike said company officials.

MOTOR TRUCKS MUST
NOW HAVE MIRRORS
(By Associated Press)

Frankfort, KY, lilly lO-Every
motor truck owned and operated
in Kentucky must have a mirror
or reflector attached to the front
of the vehicle in such way that
the driver can see the road be-
hind him. Not only must such
attachments be put on trucks
now in use. but it is unlawful for
dealers to sell trucks with such
an attachment.
The law requiring this was
passed by the 1922 session of the
General Assembly and became eff
fective on June Is.
The statute states that each
commercial motor vehicle of
more than one-half ton capacity,
operated upon the public high
ways or streets of the common
wealth of Kentucky, shall be
equipped with a mirror or refec-
tor attached tor and at all times
located and adjusted upon such
vehicle as to give the operator a
clear reflected view of the high
way directly to the rear in a line
parallel to the side of the body of
the vehicle and so as to enable
the operator of such vehicle to
see and observe machines and ve4
hicles approaching from the rear
and desiring to pass"
Failure to comply with the sta
tute is punishable by a fine of not
to exceed $100 for each day the
car operates without a mirror.
The same penalty is provided for
dealers selling cars without mir
rors.
