of the action taken by the commits
tee controlling a large block OF the

mittee that a satisfactory arrange
ment for a merger with the Capital
Traction Company cannot be agreed
upon until the present condition II
the Washington Railway and Eie~-
trio Company is improved. IL was
pointed out that the T-cent fsrv for
both companies was an absolute ne
cessity; and that IL this rate were
abandoned for the scent fare. IL
would be necessary TO increase the
electric light rate to u cents. upon
which basis. IL was thought. the

New York Federal Reserve
Bank Warns of Danger
Gus Counterfeits.

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-For the bene-
fit of that part of the public that is
lucky enough now and then to get its
hands on a $50 bill. the New York
Federal reserve bank, through Ben.
jamin Strong. governor. has issued a
warning against a new spurious $50
reserve note which was discovered in
circulation October 20. The details
of the counterfeit as described by the
Secret Service are as follows:
"On the Federal reserve bank OF
Boston. Mass; check letter d. face
plate No. /; w. G. McAdoo, Secretary
of the Treasury; John Burke, Treas.
urer OF the United States; series OF
1914; portrait of Grant.
This is a dangerous counterfeit
apparently printed from photo
mechanical plates, on two pieces OF
very thin paper. between which silk
threads have been distributed. The
portrait of Grant has fat appear
ance common to mechanical repro
ductions; in other words. it does not
stand out in relief from the back
ground in the medallion. The num-
Der of the specimen at hand is
A722s0A. The figures of this mum Der
are much heavier than those of the
genuine.
The back of the note is more de-
ceptive than the face. There Is an
absence of many of the fine lines in
the figure representing Panama on
the back OF the note, which gives to
this figure an unfinish@ appearance.
The flag is missing from the mast of
the vessel on the left end, back of
note, as are also the fine lines, repre-
senting the wireless apparatus, which
run from mast to mast"

LADOR'S SANCTION PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
 OF ROADS URGED
Applause Greets Statement That Ownership of Sys- tems Should Be Ac-

By Associated Press

Atlantic City, June 10.-A proposal that organized labor insist upon pub- lie ownership of the railroads of the country was submitted today to the delegates attending the reconstruction cony ention of the American Federation of Labor by Glenn E. Plumb, counsel for the railroad brotherhOOds.
 Representatives of the railroad workers received unanimous consent from the convention for MT. Plumb to explain the plan, the salient prirci- ples of which have received their en- dorsement.
 The speakers statement that own ership of the system should be ac- quired immediately was greeted with prolonged applause.
 The cheering was renewed when Mir. Plumb said that with the govern ment substituting government bonds for outstanding securities the rail- roads would be removed from the GIc- tatorship of Wall street"
 Government ownership of the rall transportation systems, said the speaker, would mean an annual say ing in interest costs of from S40O,0o0,- 900 to $500 00Os0G0 and probably would permitWa reaction of 10 per cent in current transportation rates The plan, as detailed by MT. Plumb, pro- poses the operation of the roads by a single corporation regulated by and accountable to the government for all it's acts and expenditures.

SUE
 STREET CAR UNION
Seek Two Millions Damages for Amount Lost as Re
 suit of Strike
By Associated Press

Pittsburg, June 1o.--The people Of Pittsburg, through A. E. Anderson, an attorney, filed a suit in equity in court here late today against. the Amalga mated Association of Street and Electric Railway Employes, In which the union is asked to pay dam ages of s2,Os5,Ooo.7s. which sum, it is claimed, was lost by the people as result of the recent street car strike.
 The suit raises the question of the right of persons engaged in public service to strike to enforce demands for better pay and improved working conditions. Receivers of the Pittsburs Railways company are named as party defendants.
 The actions of the strikers were. and are, unlawful, it is alleged, and infringed and invaded the rights Of trade, business and travel, which was in violation of the constitution of the United States and the state of Penn sylvania, and a conspiracy and a com bination in restraint of trade.
 The plaintiff ayers that some of the strikers did not fully understand that they were being led into possible violations of law, and every employe who went on strike will be given a chance to inform the court of his real attitude.
 Mir Anderson places the loss he suf- fered as a result of the strike al 7S cents computing the amount as the difference between the railroad traiii fare he paid and what it would have cost him to ride on street cars.
