20,000 Men Will Make
New Ford Auto Tractor
Detroit. Mich., June 19.—1n an in
terview to-day Henry Ford confirmed
the report that he had invented an
auto-tractor, that he had purchased
thousands of acres of land near his
home at Dearborn, Mich., and that
he would begin the manufacture of
tractors within two years. He plans
ultimately to employ 20,000 men In;
this industry. His tractor is the re
sult of 34 years of work. The solu-j
tlon of the problem was in sight when,
the engine for the Ford car was per- '
fected.
"What this machine will do that Is
of world-wide Importance," he said,
"is to keep young men on the farm.
It will reduce the cost of tilling the
soil by one-half or one-third and It
will produce fooil In abundance for
an increased population. It will make
work, lots of work.
"It will take ten years to develop
this suburban plant to its highest state
of efficiency. It is my plan to make
all my motors out here for both the
tractors and the motor cars. In fact,
all the iron work will be done here.
I expect to plant the factory on 600
acres."
"What about your model town?"
Mr. Ford was asked.
"I don't believe in this model town
business." he said. "The living wage
makes the model town. Let the em
ployer pay his help what his help
earns, and there will be no need to
speak of model towns."

JITMEY'S FUTURE IIP
TO SERVICE BODY
Commission Will Likely Devote
Part of August to
Public Hearing
The proposition of how to regulate
the Jitneys was put up to the Public
Service Commission late yesterday
afternoon and will occupy consider
able attention of the commission for
weeks to come. The question has so
many angies that it is likely that the
commission will devote some time in
August to a general hearing in order
to get the views of all concerned and
to determine the measure of service
the Jitneys are rendering the public
and how far the investors in street
railway companies are entitled to
protection.
The proposition, which has been
[ before the commission in the shape
j of a protest against the incorporation
of the Jitney Service company , of
Wiliamsport, suddenly assume State
wide importance last night. It
was precipitated by H. B. Gill, a
Philadelphia lawyer, who Is counsel
for the Pennsylvania Street Railway
association. He presented a petition
asking the commission to issue an
ordsr to the effect that no Jitney can
be operated either by a person or a
company, until he receives a certifi
cate of public convenience from the
commission authorizing him, or it, so
to do and by said order forbid the
rendering of service until the Jitney
operators shall have filed anc( posted
their tariffs and schedules in accord
ance with the provisions of the Public
Service Commission Law. The peti
tion further requests that all such
operators shall file with the Commis
sion a bond in the sum of not less than
$5,000.00 for each vehicle condition
ed for the payment of all damages
that may be recovered against such
operator by reason of the operation
of such vehicle, and that said operator
shall give continuous service between
hours specified and over certain speci
fied routes, and make such other rea
sonable regulations as to the Com
mission may seem proper.
Held I'nder Advisement.
; The Commission held this applica
tion under advisement. Commission
er Ainey remarked that if the jitney
operators deem themselves common
carriers they ought to file and post
the tariffs required. *
The Pennsylvania Street Railway
Association operates street raiways
representing 3,383 miles. and the
property owned by them Is repre
sented by their capital stock and
bonded indebtedness of $288,514,196.
These properties constitute 74.5 per
cent, of the total street mtleage of rail
ways and the investment represents
81.5 per cent, of the total investment
in street railways in Pennsylvania.
In the Willlamsport case, C. E.
Hewett, manager of the Jitney line
furnished figures tending to show that
his company is prosperous. On an in
vestment of 111,000 the total receipts
are S6OO a week. The gross receipts
from each car are sl3 a day, and it
costs $8 per day per car to operate,
or 4 cents per mile for each jitney.
The street railway Interests, thrcnigh
their attorney, C. Laßue Munson, gave
testimony to show that In some re
spects it was a moral issue because
some of the jitneys are so crowded
that young girls sit on the laps of
men; the jitney drivers solicit the
trade of the street railways and the

Htney routes parallel the car lines
He said there was no legal objection
to jitneys traversing some territory
hut the Commission should not per
mit them to cover the route of the
chartered street railway companies.
Ho declared that if the jitney move
ment succeeds the trolleys must be
abandoned and become a Junk-heap,
and said that if the Commission
ordered the company to put on cars
and make other improvements in
service his clients must do so, and
therefore their vested rights should be
protected.
Hurts Credit, Too.
E. H. Edwards, the manager of the
Wtlliamsport Street Railway system,
made the statement that jitney com
petition seriously impairs the stand
ing of street railways with bankers,
as the success of the jitney means
that the bankers will refuse to lend
money for street railway improve
ments. He said during the three
months ending April 30th of this year
the gross receipts of the system under
hismanagement were 12 per cent, or
$6,791 less than the corresponding
months of last year. He blamed this
on the Jitney and he predicted either
a reduction of expense—salaries, etc.,
—or an increase of suburban fares.
N. M. Edwards, representing the
jitney people, wanted to know why the
Street Railway Company did not
make certain extensions during the
past twenty years to accommodate the
people before the jitney was heard
of.
As to the testimony regarding the
overcrowding of the jitneys, Governor
Pennypacker said this might be a rea
son for an order restricting the num
ber of passengers In a Jitney but it
would be no reason for the refusal of
a charter; and Commissioner Mona
ghan asked the street car people if
they ever knew of street cars being
overcrowded to the extent of one pas
senger standing on the toes of an
other. Commissioner Ainey wanted
to know whether It would be better
to have the jitneys incorporated than
to have them run by Individuals, and
he said the question seemed to be
whether the jitneys have a right to
Invade the territory of the Street
Railways and whether the service
which they offer is the kind to meet
the public noeds.
It is understood that one of the
main points which the Commission
would consider in the jitney proposi
tion is whether if a charter were
granted the company which receives
it could be restricted in its operations.
In other words, if the Willlamsport
applicants are Incorporated whether
the Commission would have the power
to prevent their state-wide operation
and confine them to the limits of
Willlamsport. Briefs will be filed in
this case before the commission de
cides It.
