Kings course. Yahey said the men

wants Congress to Act.
Representing the citizens Of the Dis
trict, William NICK. Clayton asked
the committee to make specific recon-
mendations to Congress that would
restore the men to work. and sug-
gested that g a day ought to be the
probably report TO the Senate within
Mr.. Clayton asked the COMMITTEES TO
make these SPECIFIC recommendations:
1.-THE men had the right to organ

THAT former employees be restored
by the company to the places held by
them before March II. 1871.

CONGRESS could compel the company
to take the man. back, Ar. Clayton re-
piled that the company could not af-

Attorney Clayton said one funda-

should recommend was the merging
of the two traction companies. He
cited as benefits from this merger the
adoption of the universal transfer
system and the great reduction of
overhead expense He opposed any
municipal ownership at this time un-
