LaSalle st Both vehicles were dam
aged. The trust press mentioned
nothing of either.
A wagon of the Tribune, accord
ing to the police, driven by A. Stei
mert of 1056 LelancT asr., crashed
with a west-bound Blue Island av.
car, yesterday.
Three times in the past few days
fenderless commercial autos have
struck and hurt people in the loop.
An auto of the Otis Elevator Co. of
600 W. Jackson blvd. injured Cath
erine Hemmiter, 30, of 1915 Lincoln

the Hyde Park Hotel and Laundry

A truck described by the police as
a "Ford Phillips truck, "723 S. 5th
av," injured Miss S. Cavell, 65, 5225
Harper av., at Randolph st and Gar
land ct Her right leg was broken.
She was taken to the Irpquois 'hos
pital. The Yellow Cab Co. and Shaw
Taxi Co., both of which refuse to
recognize union labor among their
drivers, are trust paper advertisers.
So when they figure in a crash or
the maiming of a citizen the loop
press is pretty quiet about it Here's
the record of the two firms in the
past week:
A Yellow Cab hurt Paul Kasten,
110 W. Ontario, at Monroe and Clark
sts. He was struck while trying to
get across the street Another Yel
low Cab craslied with the auto of
Edward Dempsey, 4537 Congress st

A Shaw taxi hit Elsie Clausen, 106
E. Walton pi., at Clark and Monroe.
She had cuts on legs and arms and
internal injuries. Another Shaw car
collided with a west-bound Madison
st car at Madison and State.
And you haven't seen a word of it
in the trust press.
