NO CHANGE SEEN
IN CAR STRIKE
"WatchfuI Waiting" Attitude
of Public Service Contin-
ueS. Bus Service O. k.

NEWARK, Aug. 3:-The third
day of New Jerseys statewide trolley
strike strike broke with no change
In the situatioon. The Public Ser
vice Railway company continues its
watchful waiting" policy and the
men remain firm despite slight
undercurrent of worriment caused
by the successful operation of lit
ney bus service and the threat by
THOMAS l.. Raymond, director of
streets and public improvements, to
tear up the company's tracks in
Newark streets.
Although complimenting them on
their service, Joseph Crawford, traf-
fic supervisor of Newark, warned
the jitney bus operators last night
that the real test of their efficiency
as transportation agents is yet to
come. He urged them to stick to the
job and be prepared to handle the
heavy traffic which will come during
the week end.
Meanwhile the strike continues
without event. The company has
made no effort to run cars. Per-
sistent rumors of a receivership
action are heard on all sides but no
move in that direction can be dis
covered. Thomas N. McCarter.
President of the Trolley Company
maintains the strictest silence with
regard to the future plans of the
company.
William Wepner, strike leader and
chairman of the mems joint con-
ference committee said today that if
the strike is prolonged, appeal will
be made to the International Head
quarters in Detroit, Mich. for strike
benefit funds.
The Union head will wait until
the strike has run for two weeks
then he will apply to the master
union for aid. Few of the men are
really short of cash, the union Of
ficers say. Most of the old line men
arranged their vacations for the first
two weeks in August, while many
others have saved their money and
will be in funds for at least four
weeks, the labor leaders say. The
local union has a strike fund but it
is small, the officers say and the men
look to the parent union for aid
should 1t be necessary.
