ASK PEACE CONFERENCE
in TRANSFER WARFARE
Commuters Plan to Get Opposing Tes-
timony Into Accord.

Efforts will be made by commuters who
are patrons of the Washington and Old
Dominion Railway Company to have
the company officials brought into
conference with those of the Capital
Traction Company. to the end that an
agreement may be reached for the res
toration Of transfer privileges at Thirty

to an announcement last night
Letters filed with the Interstate Com
merce Commission disclose that the DIFF
ferences between the two companies
which caused a revocation OF transfers
involve the question OF an equitable dis
trtbution Of the proceeds from fares. The
Public Utilities Commission will be urged
to bring the traction magnates together
for an amicable adjustment.
The commission now has under con-
sideration a petition seeking the restora-
ton Of the service, but the WASHINGTON

jurisdiction Of the commission, setting
forth It is an interstate carrier. An
agreement between the two companies
would make any action on the matter
unnecessary
