Municipal Control
Of B. r. T. Subway
Urged by Socialist
Alderman Lee Cites Home
Rule Act as Permitting
Such Action
Democrats Attacked
Pay of First Grade Patrolmen
and Firemen Increased
by Board
Democrats Attacked

Socialist members OF the Board Of
Aldermen, in introducing an ordinance
calling for the operation by the city of
the new Brooklyn Rapid Transit lines
of the subway system, yesterday
charged the Democratic members OF
the board with having failed to carry
out promises made at the last munici-
pal election.
The ordinance, introduced by Alder
man Algernon Lee, q Socialist. and sup
ported by the other Socialist members,
proposes that the city take control un.
der the home rule act passed by thu
Legislature in 1918. which. he said. pro-
vides for the condemnation of the
operating rights on these lines, now
held by the Municipal Railway Cor,
porat!on, a subsidiary of the B. r. T..
and their acquisition by the city after
January i.
The proposed ordinance, which was
referred to the Committee on Finace,
provides that the fares to be charged
shall not exceed an amount required to
meet the necessary reserves for sink
ing funds, requirements and deprecia-
tions. The lines would be operated
''for the exclusive benefit of the
people"
This would give the city full pos
session Of what is perhaps the most
valuable rapid transit property in the
city said Alderman Lee. "In one year
the lines would be free of debt
He declared that the present admin
istration had been in power nine
months and had taken no steps toward
municipal ownership.
Are you going to keep your word
or are you not ?" he shouted. turning
terested to know whether your plat
form meant ANYTHING"

"Enticing" of Labor
Community Board Moves to
Keep Skilled Workers in
City's Factories
Special Dispatch to The Tribune,

BRIDGEPORT, Sept "a. - The Com
munity Labor Board, an otfshoot of
the extended labor difficulties here,
which has the full support of the Ma
tlonal War Labor Board. has forbidden
further attempts of manufacturers
from other cities to entice skilled
workmen from Bridgeport.
Chairman William P. Kirk acted i'm
mediately upon the receipt of definite
Information that overtures were being
made to skilled labor by recruiting
methods not approved by the United
States Department of Labor. The action
OF the Community Board is generally
believed to have damned what was
growing to be serious leak upon
the resources of Bridgeport's munitions
output.
