(By L. V. B. Rucker, I. N, S. Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, Sept. tragedy of the Traction strike open- ed the sixth day of the struggle be- tween the Carmen's unfon and the transportation companies of the city. A trolley car operated by a \green' motorman got beyond control as it started down a grade at 174th street and Boston Road, crashing into two jitney busses, Two persons were kill ed and nine injured. Four of the in- jured wete so badly hurt that their dearth is believed to be anly a matter of a few hours. Almost as soon as the car left the bart it was noticed that the motor- mai was unable to control it, Several passemgers on board clung to their seats in térror. The car gained mo- mentum as it swept down the grade and after running three blocks jump ed the track at a curve. The runaway car first struck a Jit ney ownéd by Jillus Grossman in which there were three passengers. The auto was capsized as the car strick it-and Grossman and his pas- sengers were thrown to the pavement. Continuing it way the car smashed into a jitriey owned by Charles E. {Gates, a lumbérmanof Unionport, who was taking ten of his employes to work. Gatés and his passengers were thrown out of the auto 'and smash ed to the ground. The car finally brought up with a crash against a water stand pipe on the side walk. Hurry,calls were sént for ambulance es as soon as the disaster oc- curred. One of the victims was jam med under the forward trucks of the car, dond. His body was extricated by a fire company called to the scene, The injured, five suffering with frac tured skulls, were rushed to Ford: ham hospital, but one died in the am- bulance. The gentral strike situation today was, From the viewpoint of the trans portation-secking public, than at any other time. There was a mark ed dimainution in the number of trains oporated in the subway and on the elevated lines. Sérvice on both was far below normal. On the surface lines tliugsportation was completely crip pled. The traction officials kept the sur face cars in the barns until 7 a. m., an hour later than usual. When they were sent out with crews that had remained loyal their number was wholiy inadequate to accommodate tha thousands that have used them daily in going to work. The traction companies claimed to be making progress, but the strike leaders contradicted this by pointing out the diminished service on the sub way and elevated and made the coun- terclaim that hundreds of employes who had al first remained loyal had joined the union ranks. Abandonment of the plan to call out all the trade unions in New York city and limit the proposed sympa- thetic strike to labor organizations dt « of the traction companies had the ef- feet of turning public sentiment | to- ward the strikers. If the sympathetic strike is finally decided upon it will effect only between 60,000 and 70,000 men, including engineers, - firemen, longshoremen and power plant em- playes.

SHIPPING BIL EFFECTIVE SOON Putting Measure Into Operation. WILL SELECT BOARD 1 Will be Able to Obtain Con- tracts fof Building of Ships Early in Jan- nary. U WASHINGTON, Spt. 12.-Quick ac tion in putting the recently enacted shipping bill into operation was prom- ised today, President Wilson is ex pected to announce the appointment of the shipping board within a few days\and the provision of the act will then be carried out without delay. Senator Duncegn U, Fletcher, of Flor ida, who had charge of the bill in the senate, said today that despite the activity of all ship yards throughout the country the shipping board would be able to obtain contractssfor com- mencing the building of ships author ized in the act early in January, Many more ships can be started in March, he said, Ship yards will be able to complete 7,000-ton merchantmen | in nine months, he said, and by the time the waris over the United States will be able to gupply bottoms for her own trade in meeting the forces competh tion expected after the world conflict. Supporters of the bill' especially are amxlous to have it in early opr eration as a \means of strengthening the position of the United States in carrying out the retaliatory amend: ments in both the shipping bill and the revenue bill. The more rapidly the provisions of the bill are made effec- tive, they pointed out, the more ef- fectively the United wil} be able to deal with the allied blacklists and boycotts. The department of commerce al ready is preparing to turn over to the new board all of the shipping disputes now being submitted to it, . The department now has under con; sideration a demand for more liberal treatment of American shipping in the Pacific, filed by officials of the Pacific Mail Steamship company. The Pacific Mail has decided to make an attempt to resume its trans-Pacific service, af. ter having abandoned its business fol- lowing enactment ofthe seamen's law. 'In their communication to the depart unless the federal government places its power and authority behind them \As the Japanese government Roes with its merchant lines, the Pacific traffic will be entirely abandoned to the Japanese concerns.\ The Pacific Mail officials say they have been enabled to resume service only because of the high ocean rates caused by the European war, CONDITION UNCHANGED.

It was inevitable that Maine would go Republican. What was in quesmon was the size of the majority, and the Republican majority is anything bu: decisive, If Maine is a barometer of the National election. the National election is still on the kneeg of the Gods. It is evident that Democrats have obtained a percentage of the Progressive vote, which, if they can hold it, is large enough to turn the scale in the National election. TIMES-If the State election in Maine were really a barometer show- ing how the presidential election was going. history would be different. Hayes would have heen elected by a landslide in 1876 instead of by a dis- puted vote, Hancock would have be- come president instead of Garfield in 1880; Blaine and not Cleveland would have been elected in 1884 and Bryan would have gefeated Taft overwhelm. ingly in 1908. It is plain that Roose- velt carried most of the Progressives with him into the Republican camp. The vote in Maine does not decide Presidential, elections and, save - in landslide years is no great indication of their decision. Such comfort as this slection doeg give, however. is Re- publican comfort. SUN-The returng indicate that the Republicans and former Progressives of Maing came together in a wave that closed over the Democratic hopes of & \victory in September.\ Such an alysis of the vote as could be made at this time shows that the Republi- cans of Maine, split so badly in 1912 that Taft ran third, came | together yesterday smoothly and solidly, TRIBUNE-The returns so far re ceived give the Republican candidate for governor a larger vote than the combined vote two years ago for the Republican and Pogressive candidates while the Democratic nominee rin be- hind his own vote of 1914. If Maine's vote - truly represents - conditions throughout the country, MF. Wilson's chances of re-election have become almost negible. HERALD-Maine has gone Ropubli- can and under ctreumstances and con- ditions seemingly to make it certain that the gix electoral vote of the State will be found in the Hughes col- umn in November. And vet its results contains nothing to warrant extreme confidence on the part of Republicans that 1916 will see a verifications of the ald adage, \as Maine goes. so goes the Union.\ The victory is a sub- stantial one but fhe hoped for land- slide is absent.
