All streetcars. trackless trolleys

Traffic Jams Don't Develop.

considerably, but no prolonged

rush hours.

consideration for hitchhikers and
old fashioned leg power carried
practically all workers to and
from their jobs. Absenteeism was
slight.
Taxicab companies, expecting q
flood of business from the 375,-
900 odd daily riders Of the transit
system, reported their fares only
normal. Persons standing on
street corners were offered rides
without even asking, and the
raising Of thumb brought hitch
mixers immediate lifts.
Ask Separate Parleys.
Meanwhile, Gov. McKeldin
asked leaders of the transit union
and officials of the Baltimore
Transit Co. to separate meetings.
A Federal conciliator tried un-
successfully to get the parties to-
gether and said he would try
again today.
Workers struck after rejecting
the company's final offer of Z

quested 24-cent increase would
