CITY CLUB TO PUSH
PLANSFOR BUILDING

Appointment Of committees on the
selection of a site and the drawing up
Of plans for the recently organized
City Club will occur in the near fu-
ture, judging from the progress in the
enrolment of new members as re-
ported last night at a meeting Of the
leaders Of the movement at the Com
mercial Club.
AS soon as the 1000 membership
mark is reached. attention to these
important phases of the project will
be focused; and il was confidently
predicted last night that the 200 mark
would be reached next Monday. The
ultimate membership goal Is 800. and
approximately half of this number
of members already has been secured.
The remarkable possibilities of the
club as an asset both to the citizens.
individually, and to the city as a unit.
were emphasized by Milton E. Allies,
chairman OF the finance committee.
who said that the people do not fully
realize the Importance of the under
taking.
Clubs ordinarily tend toward class
distinction and one-sided interests"
said Mr.. Allies. They tend to decen-
tralize. The City Club, however, will
bring about a Capitalization. a com
munity of interest. 1t will bring
down class lines. 1t will enable meE
to meet not merely the colleagues IN
their profession or business, but men
of other callings and other interests
The project is the greatest ever
started in Washington, for IL means
better understanding between the peU
pie. 1t will work toward the security
and success of the people Of the Cap
itaL"
The growth OF the club from 2ss to
722 members in less than a month was
reviewed by J. A Whitfield, presi-
dent Of the club, who presided.
Announcement was made that Chas.
F. Nesbit. second vice chairman OF
the committee on membership appli-
cations, had been called from the city
by business and that a successor to
the important post would be appoint
ed within a few days. Six additional
captains of teams also will be ap-
pointed to take the place of business
men compelled to leave the city tenn
porarily.
1t was limited by Mr.. Whitfield thai
after the membership of 1900 is
raised and the $1,000, 900 clubhouse
Is erected 1t might be possible to en-
large the number Of members and
lower the dues: but ne said that the
plan would not be considered immedI-
ately.
Charles W. Semmes. chairman Of
the membership committee, suggested
the appointment OF one or two lieu
tenants on each team to assist the
captains. Plans also were discussed
for a general meeting of all new
members in the near future.

HEARING FRIDAY ON
.NEWWOMEN'SWAGE

A public hearing on the award Of
a S15.5O-a-week minimum wage to
women employed in the printing and
publishing trades of the District by
the minimum wage board will be held
in the board room Of the District
building Friday morning at 1880
o'clock
This public hearing is required by
law thirty days after approval OF
the findings OF the minimum wage
conference by the board. As this
wage was unanimously recommend
ed by the conference Of employers,
employees, and the public, and unani-
mously approved by the board, it is
not believed that there will be any
objections raised at the hearing.
Provided there are no reasonable
objections brought forth Friday, the
employers will be given sixty days
to adjust their payrolls and put the
new scale into effect.
This will not affect employees who
are already receiving $3.50 or more
a week, but will be fixed as a mini
mum wage women and girls employ
ed in those trades can be paid. This
probably will be put into effect about
the middle of August
Apprentices in these trades will re-
ceive not less than IS a week for the
first three months, 50 for the second
S11 for the third. and SIP for the
fourth three months.

Henry f Davis. whose prominence
at the local bar entities his views 10
great weight. unequivOcally asserts
that the Utilities Commission had no
authority to impose transfer charge'
and acted Illegally.
Mr.. Davis insists that the charters
Of the railway companies fix a flat
fare at which passengers are TO be
transported between any two points
and provide free transfers on lines
of the same road so that the destina-
tions may be reached for one fare.
He declares that the Public Utilities
act conferred no powers to impose
transfer or zone charges, but merely
the power to change unjust, unrea-
sonable or insufficient rates that is,
the power to substitute one flat rate
for another.
Conrad Syme, counsel for the Utili-
ties Commission, is equally emphatic
in saying that a charge for transfers
is a rate-making power which Con-
gress intended the commission to have
in fact, gave TO that body; that
courts have everywhere held that a
transfer charge is part Of rate max
ing.
Insist on Through Cars.
Renilworth citizens, like those di-
rectly affected by the transfer order
are greatly dissatisfied with its opera,
tions. and a committee from that body
today conferred with the Utilities
Commission to insist upon through
cars to the center Of the city instead
of being compelled to transfer to and
from a shuttle car or any other car.
The committee, composed of A. J.
Waskom, S. ]. Clarke. George G.
Lyle, Mrs. Cornelius Barber, and Mrs.
l. Helen Fowler, told the Commits
sioners that the people Of that SUI
bUrb emphatically refuse" to con-
slider a shuttle car operating be-
tween Kenilworth and Kenilworth
Junction, on the main line of the Co
lumbia railway. The association had
taken the matter of its car service
up with the commission, and had re,
ceived q polite letter suggesting that
by accepting a shuttle car arrange
ment no transfer charge would be
imposed.
Built By Citizens.
Appearing personally today, the
committee told the commission that
the Kenilworth line had been built
by citizens and presented as a gift TO
the w. r. and E; that for many
years, until the war came on. they
had through car service TO Fifteenth
street and New York avenue; that
