Lay of the Committee
The old rate of one car ticket or one
cash fare of five cents from any point in
the District Of Columbia to Somerset,
Nd, over the lines of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company went into
effect this morning in accordance with 2
decision of the interstate commerce COM
mission. This rate effective for ten or
twelve years. was withdrawn in June.
1910, by the railroad company, following
litigation in the federal court in Balti-
more over the legality of bill passed
by the Maryland legislature which had
FOR its purpose the reduction of the fare
between the District boundary and Rock
vile on the Washington and Rockville
railroad.
There was a general protest from the
citizens of Friendship Heights, Drum
mond and Somerset when they were
called upon to pay cash fare of ) cents
or monthly communication rate of $1.73
for ride of less than half mile. Many
of them either walked to the District line
or across the fields to the Capital Trac-
ton lines at Chevy Chase Circle rather
than yield to the demands of the other
with the interstate commerce commission,
and last month decision favorable to
the compliments was handed down. The
cars from Somerset this morning had
more than the usual number of passen-
gers as the result of the restoration of
| the old rate. Several men who had faith
fully held out against the increased fare
| rode to the District line for the first time
in nearly two years, and there was a
noticeable absence of early morning pc
destrians along the pike from Somerset
to the northern limit of the District.
Testing I. c. C.'s Power.
Claim to power to regulate interstate
commerce on street railways crossing
state lines was made today before the
Supreme Court of the United States by
the interstate commerce commission. This
view was presented when an attack was
made during argument on the power OF
the commission to require a reduction
| in fare on the railways from Omaha
Neb, to Council Bluffs, Iowa, from 10 to
| 10 cents.

SEEKING TO PREVENT
SUNDAY SOCIAL EVENTS
Citizens Association Wants to
Know What Authority Com
miSSi0ners Have.

Have the municipal authorities power
to prevetn the foreign ambassadors minis
tiers and other guests of the nation from
giving dances or other social functions
Sundays?
This question was discussed at length
at the February meeting of the East
Washington Citizens Association last
evening. w. S. Curriden making the in
quiry. He asked that the association re-
quest the Commissioners of the District
of Columbia to determine what powers
they possess to prevent or restrict social
functions in the future on Sundays.
w. NJ. Potter, president of the associa-
ton, started discussion when he intro
duced resolution favorng wage scale
of 81 a day for employees of the street
cleaning department of the District.
Former Supt Woods of the street
cleaning department, at the request
of the executive committee, addressed
the association. He said the condi-
tions affecting the employees of the
department are greatly in need of i'm
provement. He explained the peculiar stu
alton of the white wing declaring that
the S1.:O day for wages that, he received
is insufficient, as he is not employed regu-
larry and is paid only for the days he
works.
Referred to Committee.
The request of Thomas w. Smith that
the executive committee give the resolu-
ton careful consideration before the as
ISOLATION put itself on record suggesting
what wages a man should pay an en-
ploye was approved, and the resolution
was referred to the committee, with the
suggestion to urge steady employment
for street laborers at fair rate of pay.
A resolution presented by Mr.. Smith,
favoring the report of Senator Gal
linger, chairman of the Senate District
committee, requiring the Commissioners
to suggest possible routes for new street
railways. was adopted, and the commit
tee on steam and electric railways was
instructed to make preparations for a
conference with committees representing
the Southeast Washington Citizens AS
ISOLATION. the Lincoln Park, Southwest
and Northeast citizens associations.
The association also went on record
as opposing the bill requiring the real
consideration to be mentioned in deeds,
etc, in the transfer of real estate, and
voted to assist the Northeast Washing
ton Citizens Association in an effort to
have Benning road widened
