OVER Trolley Fares
Non-Partisan League and
Central Labor Union Voice
Their Opposition
SEND LETTER TO
UTILITIES BOARD

That the Voters Non-partisan League,
OF which E. NJ. Davis is head. will fight
the proposed seven-cent fare for the
Trolley Company, was set forth in a
letter forwarded to the Board Of Pub
~ Utilities Commission yesterday. Mr..
Davis contends that a six-cent fare will
be sufficient to pay the motormen and
conductors the increase OF wages ask
ed, and asks why the people of VIII
mington should be asked TO pony up
at this time 10 the company which he
alleges is on the verge Of bankruptcy.
Davis calls for a public meeting at
which the sentiment Of the people may
be heard on the question.
1T would be far better" says Davis,
III Wilmington or the United states
Government were to commander the
Traction Company. The Board OF Utili-
ties Commissioners should bear well
in mind the facts presented In the let
ter and remember that IL is to the peo-
pie Of Wilmington that the answer is
TO be made"
II the protest is not needed, the let
ter reminds the commissioners that
the League may take the case into
court and settle by law, the question at
issue.
The Central Labor Union at its meet
ing last night protested against the
proposed increase in the fare from 1--WE
10 seven cents A letter containing a
set Of resolutions in which the Labor
Union alleges that the recent walk-out
was maneuvered by the company Off
cials in order to get the increase, was
forwarded to the Board OF Public Utili-
ties Commission.
"The Central Labor Union publicly
protests against any fare increase at
this time because OF the fact that the
main reason for granting an increase to
seven cents in the trolley fare Is based
on the camoufaged labor situation,
brought about by certain parties whose
only interest in the situation Is to raise
more revenue out OF the pockets Of
the people Of the community" the Cen
tral Labor Unions letter states.
"The Central Labor Union absolutely
refuses TO stand for a seven-cent trolley
fare, and advises the members Of the
labor movement 10 walk In public
protest against this non-nccessary in
