Discrimination Charged BY John
Lorch, President of the
Engineers Union.

An inquiry into lighting rates of the
Potomac Electric Power Company
either by Congress or by the Public
Utilities Commission will be asked by
the Central Labor Union. The statement
from John Lorch, president of the Sta
uonsry Engineers Union, that the COM
Dany discriminates in its charges
prompted the body to take definite steps
toward an investigation.
Declaring that the Potomac concern
furnishes some contractors with light at
q rate Of 1-3 cents per kilowatt hour,
President Lorch urged the organized
crafts to bring every pressure to pro-
cure rigid investigation. II was stated
by Mr.. Lorch that the method of sup
plying power by the Potomac company
has deprived stationary engineers o. po-
sitions. The committee on legislation
vas instructed to investigate the
charges and to call upon Congress or
the Public Utilities Commission for an
Inquiry.
The legislative committee reported TO
The union last night that several mem
bers of Congress had been interviewed
with regard to the proposition to have

nounced that the prospects are encour-
aging for the introduction at this ses-
