ing Food by Motor to
Capital.

Offer to operate trucks in order
to secure adequate food supply for
Washington was made by the strik-
ing railway shopmen employed at
the Washington Terminal yester-
day to the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association.
Because the strike Is against the
railroads and not against the pub
lie or the government, and because
they are anxious to keep the in
convenience to those elements to q
minimum. the strikers declared
they were willing to furnish COM
petent men to operate the trucks
and to keep them in first class
condition. They will act cheer
fully. they stated, with the mer-
chants and manufacturer and other
civic organizations in providing g
transportation that the railroads
are withholding.
