FORTY MEN INVOLVED
The threatened strike of the street
carmen operating the West New Or

and the Soith 'New Orleans Light and
Traction Company was begun Mon
day morning, when the men refused
to take ott the cars unless a living
wage was paid for their servics.
They are demanding only forty
five cents per hour, which is in many I
instances, less than the wages paid
to a common negro laborer through-,
out the South.
The Railway Companies have

Ilp to the present time, there seems
to have been very little inconvenience
to the public on account of the strike
for the fact jitneys are operating for
t.'n cents and most all patrons would
rather pay two cents more and ride
in an automobile, taking them almost
directly in front of their door, than
pay an eicht cent carfare.
Transportation to Gretna and other
points on this side of the river reach
e(d by the West New Orleans Light
and Traction Company may be had
by using the street cars on the city
sidle of the river and thence by ferry
to their destination. The Naval
Station routes are being covered by
autos and trucks, mank going as far

There have been a number of similar

one of them has shown very satisfac

the automobile industry, making the
financing of the business through or
dinary banking channels impossible,
is the chief reason for the existence
of companies of this kind. In the East

institutions engaged in this business,
which has filled a long-felt want and

I.RIIG;E GATHERIN(G ATTENI)
FIRST MEETIN(G.
At the office of the Herald last
Thursday night a new organization
was born, to be devoted to the inter
est of the people of the Fifteenth
Ward. The meeting was called for
the purpose of protesting against the
service which is not being given the
Algiers people by the ferry companies
operating between this and the city
side of the river. One of the princi
pal complaints broueht out was that
the Southern Improvement and Ferry
Company has not given a temporary
shelter for its passengers since they
lost the other ferry house, about a
month ago. A complaint was also
made against the schedule now being
maintained, and other violations of
the company's franchise.
Mr. Peter S. Lawton. who has al
ways been an ardent worker for the
Fifth District, was elected president
of the organization and William Smith
was elected secretary.
The other officers of the associa
tion will be elected at the next meet
ing, Which will be held at Clark's
Hall, on Thursday, November 12th.
A special committee which was ap
pointed by the president for the pur
pose of calling an indignation meet
ing and mass meeting will hold a
meeting tonight at 8 o'clock at Clark's
Hall.
The following have been appointed
on a committee to draft suitable reso
lutions to present to the mass meet
ing and to make arrangements for the
holding of the meeting: A. Spitz

the same night. and formed themselves
into an organization to be called
thereafter "The Algiers Civic League,"

The purpose of the call was to work
for the relief of Algiers in the matter
of our ferries, and I have assumed the
liberty of naming you a member of a
committee to take all necessary pre
liminary steps toward accomplishing
the ends sought. I tried to select a
non-partisan committee, and at the

Algiers suited for the work at hand,

of the appointment and meet with us
at Clark's Hall. Elmira avenue and

We invite advertiertisers to rin us in

different news features which will bhe
sent to us weekly from the large
