liam II. Sutphin today announced

The Evening News has made
survey of the municipalities affected
by the discrimination of trolley SER
vice over the Jersey Contra Trac-
ton Company lines on July 2S and
here with prints a synopsis of the
plans for future transportation be-
tween these places.
Perth Amboy's stores attract
MANY shoppers from points through
which the Jersey Central trolley line
runs and the discrimination of this
line will be keenly felt ~ local mer-
chants if some other means of trans
portation is not furnished.
Mayor Wilson. realizing what the
trolley line means to Perth Amboys
merchants, has announced his will
ingness to do anything which will
make possible the maintenance Of
transportation between these places
and Perth Amboy. Il feel that the
buse' will be able to care for the
situation" the mayor said. He de-
clared that motorized buses with
flanged wheels, capable of running
on the tracks of the trolley company
would be the real solution of the
problem as the buses could then
run Independent of the amount Of
traffic on the road.

South Amboy situation


SOUTH AMBOy, July 19:-Today
James Douckaz, local bus and gar
age owner of this city, will appear
before the Public Utility Board to
ask OF that body permission to
operate a bus line from Perth AM
boy to Keyport. The necessary per-
mission has been given Mr.. Douckaz
from Perth Amboy, Keyport, and
this city.
Mayor Daniel C. Chase said last
night that the city had given Mr..
Douckaz permission to run his buses
southerly on Pine avenue from
Bordentown avenue. in order to pro-
ceed to Keyport, via, that route.
Mr.. Douckaz has at the present
time six auto buses and has ordered
two more for immediate delivery.
In the event that these latter cars
are not ready for operation on the
date set for retirement by the Jersey
Central Traction Company, Mr..
Douckaz, it is understood will hire
buses to meet the situation.
1t is believed by many, that there
is at the present time sufficient bus
operators between this city and
Perth Amboy. A regular ten minute
schedule is into effect and has been
for some time past. Anymore buses
on this roIAe, would be considered
out of the question, as far as profit
to the owners is concerned. With
regard to the Keyport-Perth Amboy
bus line, it is understood that Mr..
Douckaz, has an agreement with the
authorities to place buses on this
line if the traffic warrants it. A
regular half hour schedule will be
established at once, Mr.. Douckaz,
states.
How, James Douckaz, or anyone
else will be able to matain a regular
schedule on Sunday evening, when
shore traffic is at its height, is a
question. Traffic over the week ends
in the summer months, everyone
knows, is one continuous line of cars
from Keyport to Perth Amboy. De-
lays occasioned by the grade cross
ing at Morgan often amount to more
than an hour. Many claim that
unless this proposition is handled
at once the buses will be of little
value.
The grade crossing at Morgan
station, which has been a bone of
contention for many months, again
figures in the scene that presents
itself. If ever the need of depression
or elevation was necessary it is
now, seems to be the mind of those
who have studied the situation, from
safety as well as other standpoints.
No one seems to have the slightest
doubt that James Douckaz will not
receive the necessary permission
from the Public Utility Board.
James Douckaz, made trial run
from Keyport to this city last night
to determine the actual running time
including stops, from there to this
city. Mr.. Douckaz stated he will
be able to meet the demands of the
eople and if necessary will add
iore buses to insure a high standard
operation.

tiiS SdlQ lIldL the reason,
for refusing the meeting today was
that the request was made on toe
short notice. 1t was said, however
that the refusal to meet today does
not mean that the company is clos
ed to meetings later.
NEWARK, July 19.-Public Ser
vice Railway Company trolley men
employed on. the Newark lines will
meet tonight to act on the refusal
of the company to grant their de-
mands for a 30 per cent wage in
crease and six day week. The meet
ing originally was scheduled for to-
morrow night but was changed to
tonight.
Thomas H. McCarter, president of
the company in a long brief sub
mitted at cor ference between COM
pany officials and union representa-
tives three days ago said it was fl
nancially impossible for the company
to grant the mems demands and sug-
gested the men enter new five year
contract with the company under
the terms and conditions now exist
ing.
1t is generally believed by the trac-
tion men that the Newark men will
not renew their contract but will fol-
low in the footsteps of the Elizabeth
and Jersey City employees
Although the trolley men reject
the proposition, it will not neces-
sari.y mean a strike. road officials
point out. The company normally
operates from 1,500 to 1000 cars
over 996 miles of tracks, the union
officials say, but at the present time
as a result of shortage of labor, it is
only operating little more than
1000 cars even during rush hours.
William Wepner, chairman of the
trolley unions joint conference COM
mittee, declares this labor shortage
Is a strong argument for arbitration
By the company.
In their demands, the men are
seeking to be paid for the tine
they now put in in the company ser
vice for which they are not paid.
Mer starting on a run must report
ten minutes before the run schedule
in order to see that the cars are n
proper condition, the labor head
says. Also at the end of the day
the conductors often are compelled
to stand in line for fifteen minutes
or more before they can cash in"
Thev get no allowance for that time.
The most serious complaint ac-
cording to the men, comes when a
c. ew finishes a days work and has
TO make an extra trip. They often
sIave to wait at the barns for two
hours or more before takirg out the
extra. They are seeking to be paid
for this waiting time"
There are about 5000 trolleymen
who will be made idle in the event
of a strike, Union officials say.
Twenty-Five hundred of these men
are employed in Essex county. OF
the 5000 those affiliated with the
Union number $500 while from
$500 to 1900 are shop az line
men.

Riverside Public Mass Meeting
Condemns Proposed Lyon Bill

Mayor s. G. Evans, of Riverside,
recently called a public mass meet
ing to discuss the proposed Lyon
bill, which is being fostered by the
city of Los Angeles. Representa-
tives of the Los Angeles Bureau of
Power and Light were invited to be
present, together with representa-
tives of the Southern Sierras Power
Company, and also many prominent
citizens Of Riverside, San Bernar-
dino, Orange and Imperial counties
the board of supervisors of River
side county being officially repre-
sented by Loyal c. Kelley, district
attorney. The city of San Bernar-
dino was represented by S. w. Nc
Nabb, mayor of that city; also, by
r. c. HARRISON, editor of the San
Bernardino Sun.
Attorney S. u. Robinson, repre-
senting the Light and Power Blu
reau of Los Angeles, was the first
speaker, presenting the case for Los
Angeles. A peculiar feature about
Mr.. Robinson s talk was the fact
that he side-stepped the Lyon bill
altogether, and plunged into long
resume having to do with the recent
suit of the city of Los Angeles
against the Southern Sierras Power
Company matter which was re-
Gently settled by the higher courts
in favor Of the power company.
;E. p. Clarke, president of the
state board o. education and editor
of the Riverside Daily Press, was
the next speaker, and stated that
back Of all the verbiage of the Lyon
bal, it was plainly evident that the
plan Of Los Angeles to condemn
NOT only the Southern Sierras Pow
er Company enterprises, but many
other power plants, would be the
means of developing most rigid
and complete monopoly for Los An
geles. Mr.. Clarke strongly advised
those present to use all effort to de-
feat the passage of the Lyon bill.
Mr.. Kelley, speaking for the
board of supervisors, intimated, that
! the bill was loosely drawn up and
prepared in such a manner that
very few will ever understand it's
exact meaning, and that, if passed,
it means endless litigation.
Dwight Towne, president of the
San Bernardino Chamber of Com
merce, stated that in view Of past
actions of the city of Los Angeles,
he questioned the sincerity of the
Lyon bill--stating that it is his I'M
derstanding that Los Angeles, not
satisfied with what they have, are
beginning to reach out and grab
everything in sight that appeals to
their rowing fancy.
r. c. HARRISON, of San Bernardino
sighted several instances where the
city of Los Angeles gave very little
consideration to the smaller com
munities surrounding it. Mr.. Harbi-
son closed his remarks with the
suggestion that those present consid-
er Los Angeles from the standpoint
of past experiences.
!. At this period, a telegram was
read from Ex-senator Lyman King,
of Redlands. Mr.. King, it is re
mcmbered, sponsored the King Tax
bill, which was bitterly fought by
the large corporations of the state,
Imperial Valley press., 1923-03-07

and in no way can be considered as
a particular friend of the power
corporations. Mr.. King very plain
ly expressed his opposition to the
Lyon bill.
At the close of the meeting a res
olution offered by Supervisor Claude
Hancock, of Riverside, was adopted.
This resolution, in no uncertain
terms, condemned the Lyon measure,
its sweeping verbiage, far flung ad-
jectives and monumental, technical
dudads-the passing of this resolu-
ton being unanimous with the ex-
ception Ct those representing the
Los Angeles bureau of Light and
Power, who were present.
