and Montana, with regard to working
conditions in the copper industry dur

Grave conditions were said to have
arisen in the copper industry since the

decline of the price of the metal and
in the laying of of between Is and 80

No Confusion Found.

At the transfer points along Florida
avenue and l. street, ii WAS stated this
morning. not the slightest confusion
or misunderstanding had arisen over
the intercompany transfers Passen-
gers desiring to transfer at these
points. conductors said, apparently
had acquainted themselves with the
provisions of the order of the Public
Utilities Commission, knew what they
wanted. asked for and got ii, and used
the transfers according to rules.
Several cases were reported OF pas
sengers using the city tickets contain
ed in Communication ticket books and
demanding intercompany transfers on
them. In all cases the demands were
refused. the conductors having been
instructed to issue intercompany
transfers only on payment of cash
fares.
a few instances were reported where
passengers asked for transfers on in
tercompany transfers, or asked for In
tercompany transfers on regular
transfers, but when the orders of the
Public Utilities Commission were ex-
planned all but few of the passen-
gers appeared to be satisfied.

Must Pay in Advance.

Patrons of the line hold in their
complaints to the Interstate Com
merce Commission that, inasmuch as
they are required TO pay cents for
each city ticket in their commutAtfon
ticket books. and must pay THE In
advance, they are as much entitled to
intercompany transfers as IL they
paid their fares with fve-cent nick
els. BY the refusal of the company to
issue intercompany transfers on such
city tickets. patrons of the line AZ
sert, unlawful discrimination is made
between classes of patrons of the
line, and the petitions and complaints
ask the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to require the company to
remove such alleged discrimination.
The issue is further involved. il il
stated, by reason of the fact that un-
used portions of such commutxtton
ticket books, including unused city
tickets paid for in advance at the rate
deemed by the company at the end OF
the month. and such tickets. patrons
says, represent just that much actual
cash, paid in advance by patrons OF
the line, confiscated by the company
without rendering any service what
ever.
However. the Public Utilities Com
mission, in ordering intercompany
transfers. decided that ii could noe
interfere in any way with interstnto
rates fixed by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. and so ordered that TO-
tercompany transfers might only be
issued on payment of a cash fare.
