TEN CENT Fare
May Be ASKED
BY ". R. & {,
Increase Depends Entirely
Upon Conditions, Presi-
dent Ham Announces.
SUBSIDIARIES GET LEFT
Financial Affairs Are Not
In Shape for Such
Arrangement.

The Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company will not stop at charg-
ing 7-cent fare. but may. if con-
ditions demand it. ask as high as 10
cents. William F.. Ham. president Of
the company. announced last night
The proposed increase may be only
enough to meet the company's pres
ent needs, said Mr.. Ham.
He likewise admitted that the inan-
cial condition Of the company was
so bad that the parent company can
not AFFORD to take into its organiza-
tion the three subsidiary companies
which have entered pleas for 7-cent
fare and the absolute suspension OF
all transfer arrangements - the City
and Suburban. the Georgetown and
.Tenleytown and the Washington In
terurban companies
Refers to Merger Act.
Other than his company's diminish
ed funds. Mr.. Hams defense consists
OF the fact that the merger act of
l9CO contained no mandatory clause.
On this last statement. the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations will pre-
sent strong argument at the hear
ing on the carfare rate. The organi-
zation's intention is to charge the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company with bad faith in the full
hiiment of the law. and to demand
that no financial relief be authorized
If better street car conditions, coupled
with the merging of the three sub
urban lines into the chief organiza-
ton, are not definitely promised
William Mex. Clayton, chairman of
the public utilities committee of the
federation. will secure a hearing from
the Public Utilities Commission soon
to influence them into accepting the
above proposition.
W. b. Westlake. president of the
federation. announced yesterday that
he had received letters from Com
gressmen. in reply to the comnunica-
ton he sent to every member of the
Senate and House Thursday. The
tenor of the replies was favorable.
said Mr.. Westlake
Wants an Utilities Commission.
Mr.. Westlake in his letter advo-
Gated the appointment of a public
Utilities commission. separate from the
established commission. to deal entire
ly with the street car problem here.
He further asked Endorsement and
action on a motion that the two
street railways systems here be op-
Grated on a service-at-cost basis under

Georgetown Food Inferior,
Say Downtown Merchants,
Referring to Cheap Sales
Good Meat Impossible al
80 Cents Per Pound,
Dealers Claim.

Washington's downtown grocery and
provision merchants Indignantly de-
MED yesterday that Georgetown mer-
chants are selling food products of q
similar quality at prices from 20 to -
per cent lower than prevail in the
city proper.
These downtown merchants have
taken issue in a lively manner with
the Civic Betterment Association
especially with regard to a poster re.
Gently displayed in the association
headquarters wherein the price OF
beefsteak was displayed at 30 cents
pound for a Georgetown store and b
cents a pound for the same article a,
a downtown store
Cheap Meats Spoiled.
1t may be true. the downtown mer'
chants say. that a Georgetown stort
sold steak at 30 cents. But. they
argue. the quality of the two meats
although called by the same name
was vastly different. Good steak can.
not be bought today. 1t was stated
and sold at such a variance in price
unless it has deteriorated. or beer
placed on sale before 1t spoiled. The
latter act necessitating a low pric,
for quick riddance.
Not only is meat handled this
way by Georgetown merchants
whom. it is claimed. in some cases
make a practice of buying this sor,
OF a product cheaply and selling il
cheaply lest it spoil on their hands
but all other perishable food
products as well.
Costs More in Georgetown.
On the other hand, it is claimed
in comparing prices for first class
food-pertshable or non-perish-
able-Georgetown stores are selling
tho first quality product for al
least 20 per cent more than are the
downtown merchants.
The sources of supply of both
Georgetown and downtown mer.
chants are the same, il was stated
and furthermore, the downtown
stores are able to buy cheaper and
therefore sell cheaper.
What is resented most is the ap-
parent unfairness of the charge
that downtown merchants are
boosting prices for the self-samt
goods. and they offer proof of 1t:
incorrectness. -

Bone dry" members of the House

day when Representative Moon.

stead prohibition enforcement bill.
Mr.. Moon has supported the cause
of prohibition throughout the
twenty-five years OF his service in
Congress. He said:
i am no new convert to the
cause Of prohibition. For twenty
two years l have stood upon this
floor and supported that cause.
There has never been passed in this
Congress during that period a single
law on the subject that has not re-
ceived my vote.
Il regret very much that the bill
should be brought before us in this
unusual and drastic form, and un-
less it is materially amended l shall
feel 1t my duty under my oath of
office either to vote against il or

Representative Gard, Democrat,

the bill. also made a strong plea
