SENATOR CALLS HALT
ON STRIKE HEARING
Fearing AII-Summsr Session. Pitt.
man Orders Testimony Closed.

Senator Pirtnan. chairman OF the
strike-inEestigating COMMITTEES, put
brakes on the hearings yesterday and
brought the contending factions to
an agreement that the sessions will
wind up today.
When the hearing opened yesterday.
Attorney Hoover for the compapy
wanted the right to bring in 30 wit
nesses to show that conditions were
intolerable for non-uuion men on the
Washington Railway and Electric

for the Amalgamated said he could
bring 500 witnesses to show that they
were not.
seenting an all-summer session of
strike hearings, Senator Pittman in
sisted upon a date for the closing,
and intinated he was fully satisfied
with the evidence that had been pro-
duced, Mr.. Yahey then announced
he had but two more witnesses. and
the company has a few. following
which arguments will be heard.
President George A. Wilburt, of the
local union men, testified that con-
ditionS on the Washsingtonl Railway

MAY ASK CONGRESS

Want $1,000 Salary Limit On High
School Instructors Removed.

Congress will probably be asked
within a few days TO act upon =
measure permitting, Washington High
School teachers to serve the gov.
eminent during summer vacations, as
specialists in their various lines.
Robert A. Maurer, chairman of tho
legislative committee Of the High
School Teachers" Union, yesterday ap-
pealed to the Board Of Education for
assistance In securing a change In the
present law, which places a salary
limitation Of 5000 year on the COM
pensation OF teachers In the District.
Teachers do not want TO make
money out Of the war" said Mr..
Maurer, II believe many Of them
would be willing to work for small
salaries, but they feel that they
should receive more than enough for
car-fare and lunch"
The board considered the proposal
favorably. Proposed legislation will
probably be asked as q war emer-
gency measure.

.TWO.PLATOON SYSTEM
IS PROMISED SUPPORT
Firemen Want Present 24-Hour
Shifts Cut in Half.

Through their relief association, the
hremen OF the District have submitted
a brief to the District commissIoners.
the members of Congress, and to. the
citizens, urging the institution OF the
tw9 platoon system Of working hours
in Washington.
Under existing conditions firemen
are on duty twenty-four hours con-
tinually, except for meal hours, and
one day on in every five. The two
platoon system would provide two
shifts. working twsIve hours each,
with a twenty-four hour watch every
third day to permit days OF,
The brief goes into the platoon sys-
tenn in detail, and points out that
thirty large cities have adopted II as
the most practical within the last
five years. The increase in personnel
to make the change would be two men
to each OF the several companies.
lt does away with the troublesome
meal hour problem, with the day on
question. and results in having full
companies on duty at all times, The
number OF extra men required to put
the system into operation Is not large,
and the tncreaEed personnel cost IS so
small-as TO be wholly oYerbalanced BY
the many benefits of the system" the
arguments conclude.
Petitions are being circulated all
over the District urging support for
the change in system and the Citizens
Associations have been asked to lend
their assistance to bring 1t about.
