Motor Cars Save
Windy City Folk
in Tram Strike
.Windy Gty Exemplifies "I
T Will" Motto When Strike
I Completely Tiei Up
Traction Line.
i 1
Chicago, Aug. 2. Chicago'i mot
to, "I will," wai exemplified yeiter
day when thouianda of peopte.lauglv
ing at s complete ticup of the trie
tion line, aurfare and elevated, went
to and from their work by varioui
methodi, making the beat of the tit
nation and getting by very nicely,
thank you.
At that, it wai a problem at how
to handle the 2,500,000 paisengeri
carried daily by the lurface.and ele
vated tinea. Lateit figurei ahow the
daily average on the aurface lines Co be
2.000,000 daily, and on the elevated
Iinci, the average la 540,000 daily.
Aaamning that one in every family
using the elevated alone owned an
automobile and carried five passen
gers, that would mean 108,000 auto
mobiles. Spaced 50 feet apart these
would stretch out 1,022 milea and
traveling 10 miles an hour would re
quire 102 hours to pass a given
point. Placed end to end, each ma
chine occupying 20 feet, they would
form a line 409 milea long, and there
is no parking apace downtown to
accommodate any such number of
machine. . .
Drivera Delay Strike.
Laying statistics aside, Chicago
hopped aboard the first jitney, truck,
or other conveyance to get there
and back. Fortunately the 600 gaso
line truck drivers, employed by the
Standard, Sinclair and Texaa Oil
companies, decided to postpone their
' atrjke until the atreet car situation it
straightened out These drivers de
liver to all filling stations in the city
and their strike might have inter
fered seriously with the city's emer
gency transoortation service.
. Less than four hours after the
strike was called, one man was crush
ed to death, when he attempted to
board a moving truck, fell to the
street and was crushed by another
car. . Several cases of injury were
reported, but only two, so far, are of
, serious nature. There were many
blowouts, a few fires in Old auto
mobiles that had been dragged from
their graves and pressed into serv-
. u.c, uui in ine main, ine situation,
was handled satisfactorily.
One feature was the presence in
' considerable numbers of s'riking
street car men, hi- uniform, driving
their own cars and cleaning up a tidy
sum hauling passengers. It is esti.
. mated that 500 or more of the etrik
ers own cars. As far aa the men
are 'concerned, the strike can go on
suraciy on me situation tney.nave
