LONDON TRAM-MEN
STILL ON STRIKE
Street Car Service In British Capital
Is Demoralized—Men Want
More Wages. j
LONDON, May 18.—The street car
employes who went out on strike last
Saturday have succeeded in tying up
all car lines in the city. Traffic has
been demoralized and business is at
a standstill. The military authori
ties threaten to take action unless
the strike is settled at once. Military
forces may be used to operate the
trams and give the service needed.
The members of the tram-men’s
union insist that they are underpaid
and demand a raise of salary so that
they can keep up with the high cost
of living, which has doubled since
the war broke out.
CHARGE M’ADOO
IS LAW BREAKER
_
Attorneys for Riggs Bank Roast Head
of Treasury Department—Legal
Battle Starts.
WASHINGTON, May 18.—The ar
gument to dismiss the suit brought
by the Riggs National bank of this
city against Secretary of the Treas
ury William McAdoo and Controller
of the Currency Williams started to
day. The attorneys for the govern
ment, consisting of several of the
best known lawyers in the east, be
sides the full array of attorneys from
the office of the attorney general and
the Treasury Department, will make
a hard fight to have the case dismiss
ed.
A motion was made this morning
to have the case thrown out of court.
The attorneys for the bank opened
the case by outlining the many acts
committed by the officials of the gov
ernment in an effort to cripple the
bank and drive away its depositors.
It is charged that Secretary McAdoo
threatened the bank officials and forc
ed them to make unnecessary and
costly statements which w'ere demand
ed at a few hours notice, but which
required weeks of work to make, and
that every obstacle was placed in the
way of the bank.
The attorneys charged that Mc
Adoo, a son-in-law of President' Wil
son, had violated the law time and
again in his effort to grind out a
perswial spite against the directors of
the bank, who would not do his bid
ding.
The court room, was crowded. A1
dozen reporters are covering the
trial for papers in various parts of
the United States. The case has at
tracted much attention in all sections
of the country and the outcome will
be watched with interest. Should the
bank officials prove any of the
charges against McAdoo or Williams
it is predicted that both of them will
be forced tt resign as the adminis
tration cannot afford at this time to
carry a cabinet member or high gov
ernment official against whom popu
lar wrath may be turned.
