SUBWAY PLANS TO COLLECT TO LAST PENNYIN SUIT If Strikers Have Property That Will Be Taken, Says Counsel. Bv United Press NEW YORK, July 15.—The Interborough Rapid Transit Company, which has filed a $239,000 damage suit against sixty-two leaders in the New York subway strike, intends to collect to <<‘the last penny,” even seeking the farm which one of its former employes owned, James U. Quackenbush, counsel for the corporation, said in an interview. Recalling the Danbury Hatters case and saying that the I. R. T.'s handling of its suit would “set some precedents,” Quackenbush told newspaper men of his concern’s action in impounding ten days due the defendants, some $2,500. He then outlined plans to collect the full sum of damages. Have No Money , “Can you get blood out of a stone?” a reporter asked. “These men Jiave no money.” “Oh yes they have. Some of them have small businesses,” Quackenbush said. “One of the most active has a farm.” "Do you propose to take that away from him?” “Why not?” the lawyer replied. “Is there anything to be sympathetic about in a strike where the safety of the public has been endangered, where the wage funds of thousands has been depleted? In the last strike we jailed quite a few of the men who made trouble. Some went to Sing Sing.” He stated that damages in this case are incidental. “We propose to put an end to irresponsible men stirring up trouble and incommoding 600,000 to 700,000 people. Contracts Sacred. “This is not vindictiveness on our part. This suit is brought with the purpose of impressing them and others that a contract is a sacred thing. Under the. law a man may leave his employment, but under the law he cannot with impunity seduce others to break a contract of employment. “Some of these men are of comparative means. Some own their own homes. We will collect where we can.” The strikers have irsued a statement saying that the suit by the company is an admission of defeat, namely that it means that the I. R. T. “must have the motormen and switchmen back in order to work its road.” The strikers announced they would flglit the suit. Despite the fact that the I. R. T. has formally discharged all men on strike and is filling their places from the ranks of the nonunion men em{oyed at the start of the crisis, little improvement in service has occurred in the past few days. New Yorkers still find subway service delayed and slow.- The company claimed 78 per cent normal service Wednesday.

COOLIDGE PICKS HOOVER AS U. S. ‘GROWNPRINCE’ Washington Hears Secretary Will Get Job if Cal Doesn’t Want It. Times Washinaton Bureau. ISi 2 yew York A ‘ue WASHINGTON, July 15—President Coolidge has chosen Herbert Hoover to succeed him in the White House. This is what some are saying in Washington, where conversation, since senatorial primary returns started coming in, has concerned itself chiefly with new presidential possibilities. Coolidge nad Hoover have made a confidential agreement, so the story goes, that each will-support the other. If Coolidge decides in 1928 that he is still strong enough to make the presidential race, Hoover will remain in the seclusion of the Cabinet. If Coolidge decides that his wisest course is withdrawal, Hoover will have back of him the strength of New England and of the Federal patronage machine. Os the three candidates mentioned during the farm relief battle, Dawes, Lowden and Watson, none is acceptable to the President. Hoover, on the other hand, is. Since Coolidge has headed his party, Hoover has been offered the vice presidency and the State portfolio, the second and third highest Government posts. Electing to remain in the Commerce Department, he has been given constantly increasing power. Coolidge’s wish in the matter will undoubtedly play a large part invariably had a strong enough Federal machine to give them a powerful delegation .. in their party’s nominating conventions.
