Might Avoid Strikes.
Street car strikes in Washington
are never remote. The foundation
for the majority of strikes anywhere
is wages. If the Washington Rail
way and Electric Company had been
compelled to arbitrate its memorable
strike difficulties Of 1917, before the
Public Utilities Commission much OF
the bad street car service in this city
for nearly two years might have been
avoided. That company refused arai-
tration. The Utilities Commission
had no authority to compel il.
There will arise future conteLtions
over wages and other matters. The
public will be the sufferer througl
chickering's and possible strikes. II
will be more largely interested than
either utility stockholders or work
men, yet will have no chance to put
itself on record.
This is one reason why sentiment is
growing to place in the hands OF the
Utilities Commission wide authority
to determine practically all questions
arising in utility matters. The pub
lie will then be in position TO regis
ter its views as TO what is oest 10
