has occurred, but with the passage Of
the public utilities bill the character
of the fight was changed. from one be-

hearing. 1t Is declared now that the
fight will be reopened with all Its
original vigor, plus the strength of pub
lie opinion which has been formed since

Resolution Prepared.
Resolutions, which were drawn up
last night, recite the success which the
measure advocated by the committee
won In the United States Senate. and
tell of the unfortunate lack Of
quorum in the House District Com
mittee which prevented the bill from
ever being reported. 1t Is asserted in
the resolutions, however, that the Pub
lie Utilities Commission has now been
given power to give the public OF the
District of Columbia the relief that Is
needed, and that, therefore, appeal will
be made to it.
Copies Of the resolutions were sent
today to the members Of the commits
sion, so as to acquaint that body with
the determination Of the executive COM
mittee of the citizens conference to ap-
pear before the commission on Monday
In tn interests of universal transfers.
The placing OF the question of uni

ties Commission on Monday will be an
other important step in long fight for
this relief from the present annoyance.

draw up a bill for presentation to Con-
