Hylan Protests
against the Passage Of
Seuen-Cent Fare Bill

Mayor Hylan yesterday sent to each
of the state Senators letter, urging
them to oppose the passage OF any bill
that would increase fares in this city
or take away the fare-increasing power
from the city officials and give it to
the Public Service Commission. His
letter follows:
an behalf of the millions Of the res
idents of this city, take the liberty to
against the passage Of the notorious
even-cent fare bill or any bill that
takes from the elected city officials and
gives to the Public Service Commits
sion the power and right to raise the
fares on the transit lines in this city
"The Public Service Commissions
conduct in the past has not been in
the interest of the people of this city
and they have no hope of relief from
transit lines. The city owns the sub
way lines and the Interborough has a
lease for forty-nine years. If the Inter
borough is unable to make nroft at
q five cent fare then they can turn the
lines back to the city and the city will
operatet hem.
1.-The people Of the city want muni-
cipal ownership and operation and to
be forever rid of the Shontscs and
transit manipulators and the rest of
the moncybund crowd. Thousands who
ride on the transit lines were amazed
when this bill passed the Assembly.
"The people Of Brooklyn will not
soon forgot the action of Assembly,
man Charles c. Johnson and Assembly,
man Wilfred Karl Youker (the repre-
sentative of the Citizens Union in
Kings County,, who voted in favor of
the seven-cent fare bill The city
should be free from the grasp of these
transit manipulators"

Odd he mention the insurgents

Ing" and he laughed, or. Are you
insurging" Something of the kind.
Q.-The only thought occurs to me
was, 40 far as ! follow the political
history up here, the insurgents hadn't
broken out until the first week in
April.
Ale has insurged good many
times.
Q.--The newspapers hadn't men
toned any insurgents until the first
week IN April.
A.--That was the conversation.
Q.--I also wanted to know. The I'M
preston rests in my mind somewhere
that there was a long distance call. 1t
has been stated to me somewhere,
think, in the subcommittee of the
Judiciary Committee, that there was u
long distance call which preceded tho
interview Of March 20 between your Of
fee and Senator Thompson, requesting
him to come down?
A.-No, sir; not for me.
Q.-From any body IN your behalf to
make an appointment?
A.-Not so far as I know. Nobody
was authorized to.
Shonts Takes Stand
Mr.. Shonts then took the stand. After
he told that his relations with Senator
Thompson began in 1915, when the
ting the transit situation in New York
City, he said that the only times he
met Senator Thompson, save when he
was on the witness stand before the
committee, was about year ago, when
Thompson made two casual calls on
him at his office, A couple of months
ago, he said, Thompson telcphoned him
for some data, and he sent it to him.
He denied cmphatically that he had
tried to influence Senator Thompson
on the Carson Martin bill, either di-
rectly or indirectly.
Did you have any talk with Gov
ernor Whitman in which it was sug-
gested, directly or Indirectly, that
somebody see Senator Thompson in re-
gard to Legislation ?" asked Mr..
Cheney.
A.-No, sir.
Odd you ever agree to contribute
to fund to promote the candidacy
Of Senator Thompson for Governor?
A.-No, sir.
Q.--Was anything ever said to you
by anybody in regard to that ques-
ton?
A.-No, sir.
About That SIush Fund
