ON INDIVIDUAL CONTRACT
INQUIRIES Into It's Drafting by the
w. R. and E. Company Feature
Strike Hearing.

The history Of the drafting Of the in
dividual contract offered by the Washing.
ton Railway and Electric Company to its
men last March was inquired into at the
hearing before the Senate strike investi-
eating committee today.
Two witnesses offered by the company
John S. Barbour, general counsel for the
company and s. r Bowen, secretary oi
the company. were on the stand.
, Mr.. Barbour testified that Mr.. Bower
sometime in the late summer or early
fail Of 1915 had brought him draft OF
an individual contract: that he had gone
over 1t and offered suggestions for 6
change, and that from that time on HI
had not seen the contract OF discussed
pAny until 1t was presented to the men
Mr.. Bowen said that some time during
the summer Of 1916 President King o.
the company had called his attention tt
the matter OF individual contracts. il
was then. he said. that he looked into
the matter and made the draft whici
he showed to Mr.. Barbour.
He testified that he did not discuss
the individual contract with Mr.. King
again until February 28. 20 or May l.
Might Be Used in Emergency.
"Mr. King asked me if I had thought
dbOol lHC Oh WnlcT
he had spoken to me-" said Mr.. Bowen
II told Inn that I had. and he said tt
me that it might be used in an emer.
gency.''
Mr.. Bowen said that he did not dis.
cuss again the individual contract with
Mr.. King until March 8. The witness
said that the individual contract had
been mimeographed and copies were
available At that time
The witness further testified, under
questioning by Senator johnson of Cali
fornia that some OF the mon had signed
the individual contract March 8, though
the contract was not to become effective
until after the expiration of the 1916
agreement with the men, March II.
Both Mr.. Barbour and Bowen, In
their testimony. insisted that the com.
pany had not determined to use the
individual contract, so far as they
knew. early in 1916. Mr.. Bowen, by
inference. conveyed the idea in his
testimony that the individual contract
had not been seriously taken UP until
about March last. after the men had
made their demands upon the company
and after Mr.. King had written his
letter Of February 81 to the grievance
committee. urging there be no strike.
Mr.. Bowen also testified that 1t was
his personal opinion that II an agree
fnent similar to that Of 1915 had been
offered the company by the men. prior
