Favors Lower Speed Limit

The court said that when large motor
trucks are operated at the speed limit
they are more dangerous than lighter
vehicles. and added that he favored a
slower speed limit for such vehicles.
Judge Muhowny also said he was in
favor of a slower speed limit for the
heavier vehicles, as they are hard to
handle. especially when operated at or
near the speed limit.
1t is expected Maj. Pullman will make
a recommendation to the Commissio
ers that the speed limit of the heavy
motor trucks be reduced.

Only Opposition to Plant.

'.rhe only opposition TO the construc-
Saon of the central heating and power
plant which has been voiced comes
from the Potomac Electric Power Com
pany and. naturally and as Is usual
when any government contract Is
awarded. from some few disgruntled
defeated bidders. The opposition Of the
Potomac Electric Power Company was
shown both before and since the con-
tract was awarded"
This is the comment of Byron r.
Newton, assistant secretary of the
Treasury, in charge of public buildings
and grounds and the office of the su-
pervising architect of the Treasury.
Mr.. Newton points out that Congress
selected the site and authorized the
preparation of plans. the invitation OF
competitive bids and the award OF con-
tract within a certain Limitation OF
costs. The Treasury Department. he
says. has proceeded within that au-
thority vested by Congress.
There is no act of Congress that re-
quires the approval Of the fine arts COM
mission The requisition Is that the COM
mission be consulted. This has been done
and the plans submitted TO the commits
sion II objected to certain features of
the project as unsightly.

JUDGES FAVOR LOWER
SPEED FOR BIG TRUCKS
Pugh and Mullowny Advocate Re-
ducing Limit for Heavy
Motor Vehicles.

The plan of Maj. Raymond W. Pullman,
superintendent of police. to have the
speed limit for heavy motor trucks
made lower than that of passenger
carrying motor vehicles, is indorsed by
Judges James l.. Pugh and Alexander
r. Mullowny of the Police Court.
Il agree with Maj Pullman said
Judge Pugh. These heavy motor We
hicles are hard to handle and hard to
stop. There is no reason why heavy
motor vehicles should go fast. The
lighter vehicles can easily be handled
and stopped, while the heavier vehicles.
which in themselves weigh consider
able even when unloaded. cannot be
stopped instantly. The drivers of big
motor trucks do not strictly observe the
law. They seem to think they have
the right of way over lighter vehicles
and will not give way for any of them" "

MINE WORKERS REFUSE
TO BAR STATE GUARD
Use of Militia in Breaking Strikes,
However. Is Severely
Denounced.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, January 81
After long and earnest discussion
the United Mine Workers of America
in convention here today. defeated a
resolution to amend the constitution
of the organization so as to exclude
from it's membership national guards
men and the state constabulary.
Use in Strikes Denounced. .
Every member of the union, from
President John p White down. who
spoke on the question denounced the
use of the National Guard in strikes,
but the majority contended that de-
spite their feeling of enmity toward the
militia it would be a violation of state
and federal laws and also against pub
lie policy to exclude them from mem
bership.
The argument was made that there
is no opposition to the military for le-
gitimate purposes, but there was Sc
rious objection to the National Guard
being used for the purposes of break
ing strikes.

mission Say Building Would
Be ''DisagreeabIe Object"
DISAPPR0VAL OF THE SITE
ALREADY VOICED BY BODY
Proposed Plan for Its Erection at
18th and Water Streets Considered
Too Near Potomac Park.

Decided opposition to the erection OF
the central power plant at 14th and
Water streets, on the hanks of the
river, near one of the main entrances
to Potomac Park. is voiced by each of
the members of the fine arts commits
sion, which as body already has re-
ported officially its disapproval of the
plant as planned by the Treasury De-
partment.
This attitude was emphasized today
following the adoption of a provision
IN the urgent deficiency bill by the
Senate Saturday that work shall not
proceed on the central power plant
until the fine arts commission has
passed on the plans and the President
has approved them.
According to one of the members of
the commission the location of the pro-
posed plant at the site designated is
viewed with grave anxiety by every
one who has the proper development of
the National Capital at heart.
