Wartime Agreement.
Discussing the wartime agreement
Lewis said:
The claim Of the operators that
the miners are guilty Of reputation
of contract is totally unfounded and has
no basis in fact. The Washington wage
agreement read that it was to continue
in force and effect until the ending Of
the war or until March 81, 1890"
I'm substance and form the war has
ended the mine workers have no con-
tract; the contract expired upon the
18th day of November, 1918, when
hostilities ceased; in order to give the
country and the mining industry an
opportunity for readjustment, the
mine workers have worked for an adj.
ditioral year for the same wages
merely by common consent. We now
seek to negotiate new agreement to
become effective November l. Ample
notice has been given the operators
of our intentions in this respect but
they have stcadfastly refused to take
any actions that might interfere with
their profits. The miners have had no
increase in wages for more than two
years

Merger More Necessary"

William Nick. Clayton, chairman of
the public utility committee of the
Federation of Citizens Associations,
said last night that the increased
fare granted on all lines beginning
November 1 only makes a merger Of
the two big companies more neces-
sary in the public interest.
Il believe the commission did all it
could in the circumstances" said Mr..
Clayton, but the inequality in the
revenue which the Washington Rail-
way and Electric and the Capital
Traction companies will derive makes
a merger more necessary than ever"
He said the federation will continue
to work for a merger. Mr.. Clayton
expressed qualification that the COM
mission did not adopt zone system
and that it abolisheS the two-cent
charge for transfers between lines OF
the same company. Defeat of the zone
system and abolition of the transfer
charge are victories for the fedora
ton. he said. Mr.. Clayton led the fight
of the public against the zone plan
and to abolish the transfer charge.
A charge of two cents will be CON-
tinued however, for transfers from
one company to another.
The increased street car fare was
reported to have overshadowed dis
cussion of the league of nations and
all other national questions at the
dinner tables of Washington last
evening.
The new rates are. briefly, as fol-
lows: Seven cents for a single ride
on any line in the District, or four
tickets for 25 cents; no charge for
transfers between lines of the same
company, but cents for transfers
between companies. These rates go
into effect November i and continue
until May ] next, when they auto
matically go back to cents. unless
the commission should direct other
wise in the meantime.
