the commission to wait until this work is COM
pleted before 1t starts rate making. 1t IS not at
all unlikely, even. that at to-days meeting the
commission may issue order to the companies
to show cause why they should not make a joint
rate This would mean another succession Of
hearings and immediate relief of the J9th
street traffic problem II is hardly probable that
the commission will make mandatory rate on
the two companies to-day and an order for the
apportionment between them of receipts from
fares. If they should do so and the companies
should refuse 10 obey the order. they would
most likely do. the commission could impose
maximum penalty Of 5000 for each days in
fraction of the order.
NO ACTION DECIDED on.
No definite line of action was decided upon at
the executive session of the commission yester-
day follow ing the receipt OF the letters from the
two transportation companies. Travis II Whit
ney secretary for the commission. said that the
commission would proceed as quickly as possible
but had intention OF being overhasty in es-
tablshing a that might be confscatory
taking any action which would be unjust and
subject to reversal in the courts. Some amuse-
ment was caused by the apparent solicitude Of
the Metropolitan receivers TO show how benevo-
lent they in the treatment of their employees
Whether the employees the labor unions will
take seriously the assertion of the receivers that
they have cut down the overtime charges and
incurred expense OF "over 100000 a year
longer sweated OFF the labor payrolls" Is a
question Although the total sum looks respec-
table in amount. with more than five thousand
motormen and conductors in the employ OF the
Metropolitan system this would mean a sa wing

40 cents a week

REPLIES TO DRUGGISTS.
Member Of Eastern Pharmacy

Clarence O Bigelow. chairman OF the Eastern
Board OF Pharmacy was much Interested in the
petition which druggists not IN sympathy with the
present methods OF inspection by and election to
the board. told in The Tribune yesterday. had
sent to Controller Metz. member OF the Char
ter Revision Commission. Controller Metz was not
at his office yesterday he missed reading the
complaints OF the druggists. but he will do so to-
day. Mr. Bigelow said that he had heard of the
complaints before. but that they from those
who not interested In the advancement OF the
standing OF pharmacists.
IF a druggist has enough interest in his work
10 join one of the societies in his trade he should
have voice in the selection OF members of the
state board" Mr.. Bigelow said. The members are
elected by members OF incorporated pharrna-
ceutcal societies. AS TO election by popular vote
appointment by the Governor or Mayor. Mr.
BigelOw opposed TO either plan, as suggested
by the petitioners.
1t would be a great mistake 10 bring politics

ttioners make much. well taken. We leave
a sample Of what we intend to analyze and II our
analysis does agree with that OF their chemist
we are sorry but our analysis stands How do
know that they have substituted IA sample that
is right for the one we have given them half OF?
And then 70 object to the indefinite times that
our inspectors visit drug stores Is absurd Should
herald the time of inspection? II they fight our
fine a matter OF course their expense is in
creased. To say that there ever is any aninus in
our action that we would initiate against any
druggist who might out in the open and com
plain. is too absurd"
DR.. Walter Bensel. the sanitary superintendent OF
the Health Department. said that the present
methods OF election of the board. inspection and
registration were just about as good as they could
be. To have the board appointed by the Governor
Mayor, he said. would be TO ccmpe! the city 10
