If the charges against Pat McHush and
other contractors on the King county roads
are truc-and there appear enough witnesses
to substantiate the charges-then radical ac-
ton is imperative.
King county commissioners declare they
are against the slave system, but find il diff
ficult to enforce humane conditions because
they have no legal club over the contractors.
There is one solution then-lct King county
do the work itself. Do it by day labor. The
county engineer take charge of the work
and do it at even lower cost than the con-
tractors, if the experiences on city work can
be repeated. Supt. Case of the street depart
ment has again and again demonstrated that
the day labor plan has been successfully
adopted and that the cost has been reduced
below the engineers estimates. And the city
paid its laborers SITS day too.
WHY CANNOT THE COUNTY ADOPT
THE SAME PLAN AND GET RID OF THE
SLAVE DRIVERS?

PEOPLE To Watt FOR
Cheaper ELECTRICITY
Attorney Barbour Argues Commission
Cannot Change Contracts Between
Public Utilities.

The people of the District will not en-
joy the cheaper electric light rates for
which the Public Utilities Commission is
striving until the highest court in the
District has decided whether the present
fiscal relations between the Potomac
Electric Power and the Washington Rail-
way and Electric companies are Legal
This was clearly indicated at the close
Of the hearing before the Public Utilities
Commission yesterday. when Attorney
John S. Barbour. for the company. argued
that the commission has no authority to
alter contracts between utilities.
Corporation Counsel Conrad r. Syme
declared the contract by which the rail-
way company receives current from the
power company is opposed to public
policy and prevents the power company
from selling current to the people OF the
District at an adequate price.
At the conclusion OF his argument. Mr.
Syme turned to Attorney Barbour and
said: Il suppose We will finally decide
this In the courthouse"
II was pointed out by Mr.. Syme that on
the outcome of this case hangs the future
of the commission. II the present rela-
tons between the companies are ad-
judged improper by the commission. and
IL the commission Is then upheld by the
courts, the purpose for which Il was
created will Have been achieved, argued
the corporation counsel
II. on the other hand, the courts should
decide that the commission is without
authority to govern the relations between
utilities. the commission. according to Mr.
Syme's argument, would be a useless
body and might well be abolished
