Senator Smoot said he was sure the

Compensation Of Employees.


'Manifestly. from social stand
point, as well as from the standpoint
or the nature of the employment, and
because of the great Importance to the
PUBIC as well as to the railroads of
loyal and devoted service on the part
OF employees, the railroad employees
should be Adequately compensated"
The commission then set forth
recommendations Of legislative action.
First, said the statement, there
should be. revision of limitations
among common carriers by rail and
by water" Supporting this sugges-
ton the commission said.
obviously competition between car
rlers that is wasteful or unnecessarily
expensive lays an added burden on
the rate payers. Elimination of
waSteful or unduly expensive compe-
tition in rates or service is desirable"
Railroads should be permitted to
merge and consolidate after thorough
investigation and hearing and only
by sanction of the governmental regu-
lating body. the commission said. and
this tribunal should have authority
to prescribe both maximum and min
imum rates.

THE commission does not think this
a desirable plan," he said. 1.-The direc-
tor general expressed the opinion that
one man makes up his mind more
quickly than several We think that
several minds studying question in
an effort to bring conflicting ideas
into harmony are more likely to make
a correct decision"
Defending the Interstate Commerce
Commission against recurrent charges
that the credit of the railroads has
been destroyed by the "niggardly at
titude" of the commission in rate de-
cisions, Mr.. Clark presented a table
showing railroad earnings, dividends,
stock. debt and invested capital be-
tween 1905 and 1916. This showed
that dividends increased gradually
from sos per cent in 1906 to 648 per
cent in 1915.
Senator Underwood interjected:
Then. your idea is that the investor
need not fear government regula-
tion?"
Commissioner Clark replied:
The figures speak TO- themselves"
Senator Gore drew from the COM
missioner an expression of opinion
that several national railroad sys-
TENS. competing for service, would
render more efficient service than a
number of regional mergers. Under

Clark explained, competition for serv-
ice would not be discontinued, but the
federal authority would enforce ade-
quate service.

Other Citizens Take Part.

Several representatives Of citizens

great necessity for transfers at that
noint. In answer to direct questions
upon the matter of transfers at this
noint Mr. Hanna replied that it will

Public Utilities Commission.
A large delegation Of suburbanites
who patronize the Washington-Vir-
sinia Railway, was present to pre-
sent claims for free transfers to tho
city cars. In answer to a question re-
rarding what constituted a fair ride
for ave cents, Mr.. Hanna said he con-
sidered three miles fair. He said
nersons riding farther than that
were doing so at the expense OF
short-haul passengers.
He admitted. however. that passen-
gers riding distance less than one
mile and a half were receiving less
than their fve-cent expenditure en-
titled them to.
MT. Payne of Central Labor Union
urged that the traction companies give
the inter-company transfer proposal a
trial without further argument. and
in the event they should not work to
the satisfaction Of all. then to bring
the matter before the commission for
adjustment

States company's Preference.

Referring to intercompany trans,

not be fair to street car patrons to
grant such transfers at points where
the patrons might save time and
pany's line to that of the other com :
pany. Mr.. Hanna said that either OF
the companies would prefer to carry

Mr.. Syme as to the universal policy OF
street railway companies of extending
facilities to suburban sections, MT.
Hanna said that had been the general
policy of practically all companies IN
the country, and that the following
out of this policy has brought nearly
every street railway company in the
United States to the verge OF bank
ruptcy.
Queries Regarding Transfer Points
w. NICK. Clayton, chairman of the
public utilities committee of the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations, ques-
toned Mr.. Hanna as to intercompany
transfers at 7th street and Florida
avenue and one or two other points.
eliciting the reply that at the hrst-
mentioned point it was the Cap1tai
Traction Company's opinion that no
iatercompany transfers be issued
there because of possibility OF abuse
of the privilege.
Mr.. Clayton referred to state
ment In Mr.. Hanna's testimony to
the effect that operation of over
crowded cars is source OF loss, ana
a later statement that decrease In the
city's population was proceeding TO
a point where the decreased tramc
was at the point of entailing a loss
which will become actual IL the de-
crease continued, and asked how the
two statements could be reconciled
Mr.. Hanna replied that the question
was not fair one.
