TRANSIT INQUIRY
CALLED BY MAYOR
Moore Summons CounciImen
for Tuesday Morning, Follow
ing Tour of Frankford 81"
TIRES OF INEFFIClENCY

After making n tour of the Frank
ford elevated line yesterday with Di-
rector Twining, of the Department Of
City Transit, Mayor Moore immedi-
ately issued a call for n conference with
members of city Council.
As the meeting was called for next
Tuesday morning almost at the very
moment that hearing of the city's pro-
test against the proposed fare increase
of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co.
begins before the Public Service Com
mission, it is believed the councilmanic
conference will concern the transit sit =
uation.
Those close to the Mayor say he Is
tired of the constant quibbling and lost
motion in regard to bringing about ef-
ficicncy in the transit system. and pur-
poses to take every step possible to ex
peditc matters.
AS the city is planning to engage q
corps of experts to make valuations OF
the PHILADELPHIA Rapid Transit Co
lines and their cost of operation. it viii
be necessary to push an Ordinanc,
through Council to provide the money
as quickly as possible. 1t is also necos
Sary to obtain quick action regardin,
the future of the Frankford elevated.
BY acquainting members of Counci
with the conditions the Mayor fhopes
it is said. to have the necessary legis
lation pushed through without oh
staclcs. Most of the members of Coun
ell are anxious to have the transi
question settled definitely.
When the hearings of the transit pro
test open before the commission on
of the chief objections to be made b,
the city against the proposed fare ad
vance will be that it is discriminatory
| This objection will be made on tn
ground that while riders in some sec
| tiOns of the city may ride seven o
eight miles for five cents. others
through operation of the exchange ticke
plan, will have to pay eight cents TO
riding virtually fcw blocks.
The question of rentals paid underly
ing companies will probably be argue
at the sam" hearings called for tn
protest of the city against the far
| increase.
This opinion. expressed today b
those convcrSant with the situation,
based ou tn" attitude of members of tn
Public Service Commission at the hear
ing last Monday.
Surprise was expressed by the com
missiOncrs that the city in its prote'
against higher fares had not joine
forces with tho United business Men
Association. which is protesting II
high rentals question.

Giving Priority to Domestic Users

Washington, July 3.--By A. PD-
The Interstate Commerce Commission
today refused to modify its order giving
shipments to tidpwatcr of coal for do
nestle use priority over the movement
of coal for export. Modification had
been asked by Secretary Alexander, who
SHid the order would have a disastrous
effect" upon American foreign trade and
shipping.
The secretary informed the commits
sion that American companies having
legal contracts to supply coal to Ar
gcntina and other South American
countries were threatened with inability
to fulfill them and resultant suits that

against the expectation of coal and that
it believed there would be ample sur
plus for export after the critical short
