physically impossible for the trolleys,
because of the rail handicap, to go
where the jitucys can, and (or this
reason throughout the whole ordi-
nance. he said, the note that sounds
loudest is: .
“if i can't do it, don‘t let anybody
else do it. even though they are able."
Jacob Sclluub, former liverynlan, of
”West. Washington street, now a ilt~
neur, was one of the speaker’s. Mr.
Schaub made the martian that he had
heard, on the streets. that the trolley-
uniou members had seen members at
the other unions in Newark, and ask-
ed them not to ride in the jitneys.
This statement was subsequently de~
,nled, vigorously, by President Fred W.

A remarkably eloquent appeal. in bc—i
half of the famous jitncys, America‘s

Attorney E. T. Dunbar. l
The jitneys, he said. were a new in-

accustomed to an old-established
thing. it is often difficult to look
beyond, and see the probabilities the:
future holds for the progress of the
new institution.
