CHICAGO, Aug. Sits all a
joke" said Jack Kcarns today, dis
cussing the report from Los Angeles

Dcmpscy's signed contract to fight
Harry Wills at Michigan City in
September. He seemed uncOncerned
about the report and declared that it
meant nothing.
s. Speaking of the reported signing for
Gene Tunney-Harry Wills fight, he
said:
"Tunney is not in Wills class. He
should be fighting wcltcrwcights, like
Walker. Wills should beat Tunney
easily il they are matched. j doubt
the report because Paddy Mullins
is too anxious to get crack at Demp-
scy. This subject will be discussed
when 1 reach New York and see the
New York commission and tell it l am
ready to sign for the match"

ton that they needed another one to

of the highways has brought the bus and the truck for
freghting Both these agencies Of transportation within
certain limits have into keen competition with the rail
roads.
Governmental restrictions that hedge in the railroads
have not been extended strictly toward the supervision
of the bus motor truck Only within the last few years
have legislatures taken cognznce of the rapid development
Of the motorized stage the gasoline driven fregher
transportation to protect life Rates rule meet the
mileage competition of the railroads. but the restrictions of
governmental character imposed upon the
that rails instead of public highways crai their
activities while the few rules and regulations that hedge
in the latest contender the field of transportation
Many railway companies are meeting the bus competition
by establishing their lines for handling passengers and
freight But the limit will be reached by this kind of
competition Just the division of traffic between the
two modes of transportation is to be regulated will be an
interesting development of this generation If all railroads
supplemented their rail service by highway busses and
trucks, the roads would not accommodate the traffic; in
fact certain densey populated sections the bus and motor
lines present real transportation problem and have forced
modicum of regulation because they
croWdng the roads and main thOroughfarcS.
1t is apparent to all who have studied traffic conditions
that within certain limits at least the bus and the motor
truck give transportation service at lower cost than
the railroads for very obvious On the other hand
however if the railroads crippled in service by this
competing branch of Transportation the reaction would
for the bus lines today local in their service
while that of the railway company extensive and contn
in all kinds of weather
The problem is of partial competition but it cannot
be met by seeking through legislation to impose restrictions

tive transportation Adjustments must follow but seems
as of rapid will be witnessed within the
few
