Woman Fights Fern Hill Blockade Case With Big Street Car Co
Mattie LeClaire sued the Tacoma Railway L and Stone-Webster for damages after being forced to ride a car past Spanaway and wait overnight when the car was switched to Alki for five cents fare. The state supreme court reduced damages to 100 dollars, calling the losses a slight cold and inconvenience. The ruling limits future compensation, arguing that paying large sums would depopulate Tacoma and turn Spanaway into a Mecca. This is the Fern Hill blockade case's first reach of the supreme court.
