WANTS COMMISSION NAMED

of conditions in many cities where
street railway companies have been un-
able to obtain approval from local
authorities for rate advances, and
where consequently the companies are
said to face insolvency. will soon be
undertaken by new government com
mission. President Wilson today cabled
his sanction for creation of the com
mission, whose recommendations for
action in each community are expected
to carry great weight without specific
!, power of enforcement.
As result. scores Of cities which
have street car fare or franchise dis
putes, particularly since companies
have sought higher rates, will soon find
their disputes in the hands of the gov =
ernment agency.
Appeal TO this agency may be taken
either by the company. the local gov
ernment on other representatives of the
public.
President Wilson cabled his approval
of the plan submitted by Secretaries
Redfeld and Wilson, particularly for
the relief of the electric railway systems

Among companiesIaffected are those in
New York. Providence, Buffalo, New. Or.
leans. Denver, st. Louis, Birmingham.
Montgomery, Pittsburgh. Des Moncs.
Memphis. Fort Wayne, st. Paul, Spo
kane and Chattanooga.
The plan. as outlined in correspond .
encc made public today at the White
House. involves an investigation Of gen =
eral franchise and operating conditions
in their relation to rates by federal
commission composed of representatives
Of the Treasury, Commerce and Labor
Departments. the National Association
of State Commissioners, American
Cities League of Mayors, Association
Of Street Railway Employees, Amcri
can Electric Railway Association and
the Investment Bankers Association of
America.
In announcing his approval. the
President asked Secretaries Redfield and
Wilson to forward their suggestions as
to the personnel Of the commission at
the earliest time possible.
One of the principal reasons prompt
| ing the action was that the government :
war labor board in number of cases
ordered street railway companies tC
pay higher wages. but left the companies
without power to obtain higher com
| pcnsatory rates. These companies ap.
piled to the war finance corporation fol
/ aid, but this could not be given wher,
company's credit was undermined b,
inadequate revenues.
