Refused.

Formal demands by the Brother
hood OF Electric Railway Employees
will be made tomorrow morning on
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company for a 25 per cent increase
in wages Of all employees OF the com
pany, effective September ~. The
brotherhood claims a majority OF the
company's employees belong to the as
soriation.
The answer OF the company to the
demands will be a nat refusal to give
a further increase in wages. "Finan-
cial conditions will not warrant the
expenditure of additional money" s.
r. Bowen, vice president OF the com
pany, states, "and therefore the COM
pany cannot consider the demands"
]. H. Stephens, superintendent Of
the company, will confer tomorrow
with a committee Of brotherhood offi-
eials composed Of II. W. Lynn, A. z.
Dennis, and Arthur Berry. The com
pany is willing to settle any griev-
ances the men have. Mr.. Bowen says,
but can give no more money.

casions the Commissioners have been
called in to act as arbitrators. The
brotherhood will ask that more funds,
by increased car fare, be given the
company. The brotherhood officials
also will appeal to the Public Utilities
Commission.
Mr. Lynn. representing the en-
ployes, said yesterday:
"our wages are not enough to live
upon now. The company has treated
US most fairly and we are not com
planning about working conditions.

''The company is hard put for funds,
and I am not surprised at the state
fnent Of Mr.. Bowen. that the company
will not grant an increase.
1--WE must have relief. We believe
the Utilities Commission will grant
the company additional revenue to
meet the demands.
.'The brotherhood does not look
with favor upon. a strike. That would
not accomplish our ends. The com
mission is the proper. authority to give
the company relief. II the company
is granted additional revenue we will
get our pay raise. We are confident

Dodge JOkers At wedding.
One of the features of the cere-
mony was "Reggie's" desperate at
tempt to save himself and his bride
from the practical jokes they had
learned the wedding party had plot
ted
So, while the wedding breakfast
was at it's height, the bride and brode-
groom dashed out into the Old Colony
road, where young Vanderbilt's BILLY
Bone" was driving a brougham up
and down casually with two of the
speediest horses of the Vanderbilt
stables in the harness. There was a
wild chase of six miles before the
wedding guests overlook the couple
and doused them with rice.
In 1910 New York papers published
a story that Mr.. Vanderbilt was i'll
in his home in Newport from the ef-
fects of a bullet wound inflicted by
the husband of a young society wom-
an at whose house he was a frequent
caller. Mr.. Vanderbilt's friends in
sisted he was suffering from typhoid
fever, but the story of the shooting
persisted until his physicians tele-
graphed an unequivocal deniel Of the
rumor.
$1,000, 900 from His Brother.
In 1915 Mr.. Vanderbilt received
$5.OOO,OOO by the will of his brother,
Alfred Guynne Vanderbilt, who per-
ished when the Lusitania was sunk.
During the war Mr.. Vanderbilt con-
tribUted largely to war charities.
Reginald Vanderbilt is known
among the members of the Newport
colony as a devotee of outdoor sports.
He is a good polo player, has a fond
ness for horses, is a capital whip and
has proved himself a skillfUl chauf-
feur.
He gained prominence Of a different
sort in 1904, when District Attorney
Jerome, attempting to get" Garfield,
the gambler, set number Of process
servers on Reginald's trail TO get him
to testify before the grand jury as TO
what he knew about large sums
wagered and lost by well-knOwn So
ciety men.
Not relishing the role OF informer,
Vanderbilt led the process servers a
merry chase through New York to
philadelphia and thence to Newport
He finally went TO Europe, leaving
jerome to conduct his investigation as
best he could.
Name Linked With CanneId's.
In 1906 ReginaId's name was again
linked with that OF Garfield, when
John X. Delahunty, a former attor-
ney for the gambler, sued Garfield to
recover S59,5O0 for legal fees for
keeping him out of Jail and for col
1ectinE 100000 on 100000 Of notes
signed by Reginald Vanderbilt. Van
derbilt's attorney later arranged the
settlement OF the balance Of the notes.

H.G.OFL VOTE :
EXPECTED IN
HOUSE TODAY.

Action on legislation to reduce ths
cost Of living Is expected to-day
when the Senate Agriculture Gem
mlttee plans TO vote on Attorney
General Palmer's request for broad
ening Of the food control act.
Chairman Gronna predicted ths|
amendments would fail to pass the,
committee, but other members were
hopeful that they could be modified
to eonciliate farmer opposition. The
vote was postponed from last week
despite Palmer's request for speedy
action.
Hearings on the Kenyon and ken
drick packer bills were suspended
until tomorrow, when packers will
appear.
Il doubt very much whether the
amendments will be reported out By
the committee, Chairman GrOnna
said to-day. "A majority seem oD-
posed TO them. It Is possible how
ever that they may be modified b.
exempting farm organizations from
proposed penalties"
The amendments would extend the
food control act to cover clothing
and would add a heavy penalty for
profiteering. Farmers cOnCended
their organizations might be held
liable under conspiracy clauses OF
the act.
Hearings on the Kenyon BIN un-
covered several alternate plans and
important changes in the minds Of
Senator's.
senator Hoke Smith OF Georgia in
dicated he viii seek to have the Fed
eral Trade Commission responsible
for enforcement OF lne proposed
Kenyon measure. Il would entail
handling the license machinery fer
the entire industry.
THAT would be most unfortunate"
Commissioner Colver told Smith.
''The commission should be maintain-
ed solely as an investigating body"
Urges LiuaIt On PrOats.
Chairman Gronna declared strong
" for limitation Of profits as thu
remedy.
asBut that would not set 70 the
heart Of the matter" Colver observ-
ed. ANY kind OF excess profits tax
can be passed on to the consumer"
Chairman Haugen today viii submit
amendments to the food control aCs
ton OF fair prices Of all necessities
by the President, with adequats
power to severely punish all who sell
above these figures. The amend
ments have been framed after con-
feFences with Department Of Justice
officials.
Farmers Exempt.
The amendments exempt farmers,
farm organizations and Arms with an.
nual sales less than 100000.
"If you can regulate the big fel-
lows, and tell the people what fair
prices are, there won't be much
chance for the little fellows - profit
eer," he said -.r

1916
1t will be cheaper in the long run to
reduce rents TO the 1916 status than
to go to the trouble and expense Of
collecting the increased rent and then
transferring it to the District govern

Mr.. Johnson has official statements
showing that there have been thou
sands of changes each month in the
personnel of employees in the Govern
ment departments here since the
armistice was signed.

for the Government and take the
