Make FINAL EFFORT
TO WIN TRANSFERS
Committee Will Visit Capitol
Today to Urge Bill Granting
Universal Exchange.

Another effort to get universal trans.
fers on the street railway lines of the
District from this Congress will be
made today. The Citizens Conference
on Universal Transfers, the voluntary
citizens organization which succeeded
in getting the pending universal trans
fer bill passed by the Senate. and which
has since been watching its opportunity
10 get the bill up in the House, today
viii urge Chairman Ben Johnson, of the
District Committee. to have the bill
as an amendment. This plan was
agreed upon at a meeting of the officers
of the conference last night
Aroused by the refusal of the Capt.
tai Traction Company and the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company
10 honor the transfers of the Metropoli.
tan Coach Company, or to issue trans
fers to the Herdic line, the officers OF
the Citizens Conference today will
make final effort to get a universal
transfer law on the statute books at
this session.
Committee to Visit Capitol.
Charles W. Darr, of the Chamber of
Commerce, chairman of the citizens or
ganization p. V. Keating, of the Rhode
Island Avenue Suburban Citizens As
sociation. secretary and p J. Ryan,
Der Of the executive committee of the
citizens body, today will visit the Capt.
tol in an effort to secure the passage OF
the transfer measure.
The universal transfer bill, having
passed the Senate, has been slumbering
i the House District Committee. and
no effort would have been considered
worth while in view Of the condition
Of District legislation in the House
Committee had not the two street rail-
way companies raised the issue sharply
by refusing to obey the law requiring
them to exchange transfers with the
herdic line on Sixteenth street.
The bold stand of the companies in
making an issue of the constitutional
ity Of the law, however, has stirred the
citizens organization to a final effort
to have general law passed which
would bring about universal transfers
without further legislation IL the COM
panies chose to test 1t Also in the
courts on constitutional grounds.
Claims of Street Railways.
They point out that the Metropolitan
Coach Company secured its new charter
on the condition that reciprocal trans
fers would be issued between its line
and the two street railway companies
lines, and that since it is evident that
the two companies do not see fit to
abide by the will of Congress in this re-
spect. Congress may now be induced to
enact a law which, il found constttu-
tional by the courts, will give the citi-
zens Of the District the transfers for
which they have long been fighting.
The Officers say that since the trans
fer bill has been passed by the Senate,
that body would agree to. an amend
ment to the District appropriation bill
embodying its provisions il the House
should put it on, and that the House.
II given the opportunity, would also vote
favorably. In any event. the citizens
conference leaders today are going to
do everything in their power to get
the legislation at once by some method
