SEEK TRAFFIC SAFETY
ON BLADENSBURG ROAD
Commissioners May Appeal to Con-
gress for Legislation.

Doubt as to the authority of the Dis
trict Commissioners to compel the re-
moval of trolley poles on Bladensburg
road, which constitute a menace to auto
mobile traffic, may result in the question
being called to the attention of Congress.
Engineer Commissioner Kutz said last
night that the commission was making
study of traffic conditions at points
where there have been numerous acci-
dents recently, with a view OF determin-
ing whether these accidents might have
been avoided by carful driving or whether
conditions were essentially dangerous.
II the commission decides that the poles
are a source of danger, steps will be taken
to have them relocated. It is understood
that the traction company is not satisfied
that the commission has Jurisdiction and
Efnay contest any order for removal OF the
poles. In such an event the Commission
ers are prepared to ask Congress for the
right to regulate these conditions. The
cost Of removing the poles will fall upon
the street car company and there Is a
belief in that quarter that recent acct
dents have been due to careless driving
rather than to dangerous conditions.
The direct result of the accidents ha s
been the supervision of traffic by the
police. A number OF summons for speed
ing yesterday were served on autoists
who exceeded the limit Tuesday and We'd
nesday nights, according to the traffic
squad.
The Bladensburg road is a popular high
way. 1t Is a main artery used daily by
hundreds Of drivers who say that condi-
tions at a number OF spots call for i'm
provement. Inadequate lighting at dan
gerous curves and the changing Of trolley
poles from one side OF the thoroughfare
to the other are among conditions which
autoists describe as perilous

News that the New York milk pro-
ducers had won their fight for better
prices was received with enthusiasm
by officers of the Maryland and Vir-
ginia Milk Producers Association, at
a meeting yesterday afternoon in the
Munsey Building.
The meeting, II was explained, was
preliminary to session of the ex-
ecutive committee next week, inme-
diately following which the organiza-
tion of local associations in the terri
tory supplying Washington with milk
will be known.
Literature is being printed which
will outline the purposes of the or
ganization and which win review the
campaigns conducted by the milk pro-
ducers serving Chicago and New York.
The literature also will include a copy
of the report of the committee of
seven, which was adopted at the re-
cent meeting of the milk producers in
the Raleigh Hotel. This literature will
be placed in the hands OF members of
the executive committee at the meet
ing next week, to be distributed d
among dealers.
Maps have been procured OF the
counties adjoining Washington and

tions are to be formed have been

ducers in these districts and local
organizations will be formed as rap
idly as possible. The local unions will
be the medium through which the
central organization in Washington
will keep in touch with the producers.
This is the plan OF organization
used by the Chicago milk producers -
said Y. E. Booker, business manager
Of the Maryland and Virginia Milk
Producers Association. yesterday, and
IT seems the most feasible plan for
the Washington producers 10 follow.
The problems that confronted the pro-
ducers supplying Chicago and New

those existing here.
