D. c. BILL IN SENATE;

The District appropriation bill.
which was passed by the House last

mated. was received by the Senate to-
day and by II referred to the Senate

Favors Retaining Half-and-Half.
II am in favor of retaining the
half-and-h plan of appropriating
for the District of Columbia" said
mattery carefully. Certainly there
should be no change made in the or
ganic law for the District of Columbia
in regard to the method of making
appropriations through legislation at
tached to an appropriation bill. While
l believe heartily that the half-and-
half plan should be retained, those
members of Congress who are opposed
to it should have an opportunity to
present their views. This could be
done if a separate measure was pre-
pared and introduced and considered
on it's merits. So far as I know, no
other plan of appropriating for the
District of Columbia has been devised
which improves upon the halfand-
half plan. or which~is as just and
equitable"

ROANOKE. Va. June 9.-Disregard-
ing orders of the American Federation
of Labor to return to work today,
more than 5000 striking shop en-
ployes of the Norfolk and Western

About $500 are out at the local
shops and strike leaders predict a COM

Norfolk and Western shops in West
Virginia and Ohio is reported at
Standstill
The trouble originated in the dis
missal last Wednesday of several shop
employees at Wilcox. w. Va, on
charges of characterization. Despite
the decision of the American Fedora
ton of Labor that the strike is illegal
and unsanctioned. the striking en-
ployes remain firm in their stand not
to return to work until the alleged
grievance is settled and the men at
Wilcox reinstated.
F. D. Laudamann, general chairman
of shop crafts of the Norfolk and
Western. has issued a formal state
ment declaring that efforts were made
at Bluefield last Thursday to arrive at
a settlement through the proper chan
nels, but that the committee for the
employees was refused hearing by the

UTILITIES
BOARD PLAN SEEN
House Action Is Indicated-Two
Commissioners Against Sep
arate Commission.

That the House District committee
may report a bill to create separate
public utilities commission for the
ficials who have watched the progress
of the hearings on the District appro-
priation bill.
If such a measure is framed and
sent to the Commissioners for an ex-
preston of their opinion it will meet
with the disapproval of at least two
members of the board of Commission
ers, according to present Indications
Views of Commissioners.
Engineer Commissioner Kutz and
Commissioner Brownlow both stated
today that they favor the continue
ton of the Public Utilities Commits
sion with the District Commissioners
as its personnel.
Commissioner Gardiner believes
that the commission should have a
separate membership. as he is con-
WINGED that the Commissioners are
already overburdened with looking
after the affairs of the local govern
ment. He has SO expressed himself
to the appropriations subcommittee
that framed the District bill.
1t is no secret at the District build
ing that the Commissioners, by reason
of the added duties placed on them as
members of the Public Utilities Com
mission. have had to work day and
night in order to discharge their extern
sive duties. But the biggest part Of
their wor.. as members Of the utilities
commission. that of establishing val
uation upon the properties Of the sew
eral public utilities In the District. is
drawing to a close. When this work
be reduced by so per cent at least.
Consequently Commissioners kutz
and Brownlow see no reason why the
Commissioners. having gone through
with the work Of their job directing
the affairs of the commission. should
not continue to direct that agency. In
this connection 1T has been suggested
that if a new commission should be
created it might become necessary to
do the valuation work over, which
would cost 100000 at least
Commissioner GARDENERS view of the
matter is that the members OF the Pub
lie Utilities Commission would be free
to use their time in riding on street cars
and visiting gas works. power plants
and stations in order to keep fully in
formed as to the character Of service
rendered by the utilities.
Reason for Belief.
Belief that the House District COM
mittee will consider the reporting of
a bill for the creation of a separate
utilities commission is based largely
upon a discussion that took place
among members of the appropriations
committee when the payment by the
utilities commission of money for ex-
merit services was under considera-
ton. 1t was commended by Repre-
sentative Gard that a separate commits
sion that could give all its time to
consideration of utilities matters
would not have to spend money for
expert services. The suggestion was
made that the matter could be looked
into profitably by the District COM
mittee.

ruling of the circuit court of ST.
Johns county in which suit was filed

state Of New York will Immediately
begin suit to collect taxes against
the Flagler estate is expected, as a

Ian of Nv York. and Florida tax Of

that such suit would be instituted in

Says $4,000 Will Quit Jobs.

I'VE have the assurance of Presi-

that when the strike order becomes eff
fective that $4,000 keymen will quit

the telegraph centers of the country will
be paralyzed. When you consider that
the great body Of telegraphers manning
the offices of the Western Union at
railroad stations. who are members of
the Order of Railway Telegraphers,
through orders of the national conven-
ton of that organization held recently
at St. Louis, will refuse to handle any
commercial business the force of the
strike can be understood. These rail-
way telegraph offices are the principal
feeders to the big city offices.
