Major Opdyke Urges
Subway Loop for
Shopping District
BFoaiWay AssoclItiou lndorSes
Scheme to Adjust Traffic
Problems.

linking together the east and west side
transportation systems by means OF a
subway loop which would circle the area
between Grand Central. rhirtieth street
aud Times square is put forward as a
feasible scheme by Major Henry G.
Opdyke, managing director Of the Broad
way Association. for adjusting traffic
problems in this city. Major opdyke's
idea already has the Endorsement Of nu-
merous'civic organizations besides the one
of which he is director. Under the pro
posed plan the present II system would be
discontinued
Major Opdyke is long a student Of trans
porta,tion problems. and has watched with
Interest the evolution of travel in New
York beginning with the days of the
stage coach. The Broadway Association,
which he represents, is studying the sub
way loops plan and has the support In
that project Of the Thirty-fourth Street
Board OF Trade, Fifth Avenue Associa-
tion the New York Board of Trade and
Trans sportatjon ahe Housewives LeaSi ie
and the New Yorf Society.
In asserting the loop system would help
10 solve present ConE4tlonS, Major OpcyKe
said that Manhattan Island south of F'if-
ty-ninth street, has developed into a gi-
santic terminal Briefly, the new plan
consists OF loop trains operating in one
direction from Grand Central down Fourth
avenue: to Thirty-third street station.
hence through Thirtieth street west TO
Seventh avenue. and north through Penn
sylvanBa Station TO Times square, and east
on Forty-second street to 'Grang Central.
The, loop system would help to- solve
these conditions. In answer to the 'sobjec-
tions of the multiplicity OF express sta
lions in a given zone 1t must me rA~
nrembered that practically the entire sec
ton Of Manhattan Island south of Fifty
ninth street is nohing more or less than
one gigantic terminal, and express service
10 thel outlying sections should be fur
rished at all places where, the amount Of
traffic warrants it," said Major Opdyke.
If the expense involved in the construc-
tion of the loop. including the property
damages is not too great, its construction
would unquestionabJy provide much
needed transit facilities. i am moro than
ever Of the opinion that great mistake
was made when the ublic Service Com
mission failed to provide for through
traffic from Park avenue to upper Broad
way at the time when the H system was
constructed. and that in the final analysis
this will be done In some manner even
ut the great expense necessary"

dyeing and cleaning establishments
IN the District. The board also ap-
proved the sliding scale for. such
women during the first six months
:, of their employment in those indus
tries. The scale follows:
For the first two months, 50 per
week: for the third and fourth
! months. s11 per week, and for the
/ last two months S13 per week.
The board announced that public
he airing will he held in n" bod
room of the District building at 2:30
O'Clock on January Is to mar III
dorsements or protests bearing on
these recommendations.
The law requires suck hearing
before the wages can be put into
effect.
1t was stated by the board several
days ago that the laundry owners had
agreed to put the wage recommend
ed into effect Immediately.
The wage board ftr,her stated to-
day that it has amended the ruling
fixing $3.50 for women in hotels. res
taurants. clubs and boarding houses
SO that it win not apply to a board
Ing house in which there are less
than forty dodgers.
When the order was originally is
sued it applied to women employed
in boarding house in which there
were five or more dodgers. but it has
been found that conditions of work
in private homes where a small num-
Der of bOarders are accommodated
make it difficult to apply the min
imum wage either from the standard
of the employer or the employed.

DEMANDS $5OO,0()D
NOW DUE RAILROAD

| If the Secretary of the Treasury
| can hide behind a. ruling by the con-
troller of the Treasury he can sub
ordinate the mandates of Congress to
his will. and if the controllers de-
| cision is final then all power over
the payments of money out of the
Treasury is in the hands of the eEecu-
tive officers and Congress and the
courts are powerless.
This contention was made today in
the Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia by former chief Justice
Covington, representing the Grand
ing OF the mandamus proceeding
brought against David F. Houston.
Secretary of the Treasury, to compel
the payment of $500 600 to the rail-
! road company on account of the guar,
anty authorized by Congress for oper-
ating expenses Of the railroads for
the six months succe eding the return
of the roads from government oper-
alton.
No decision by the controller, he
claimed. could turn a merely minis
teria1 duty of the Secretary into one

sion made the signing of a warrant on
such certificate ministerial and left

| tary.
Because the wording of the act is
| not entirely plain, the counsel for the
| company commended, and needs constru-
| ing does not change the ministerial
duty into a discretionary one, but on
construction by the court the Secretary
must draw the warrant. The fair in
depreciation of the paragraph relied
on, he asserted. gives authority to is
sue more than one warrant to each
company and negatives the view taken
in the decision of the controller
! Assistant United States Attorney
Mason contended that the decision Of

tary Of the Treasury. and that the
paragraph in question provides for
only one warrant. and that after a final
audit.

Wild the Senate today resumed
consideration Of the Sheppard-Towner
bill Tor federal aid in maternal and

the measure. on the ground that the

afford to have this call made upon it
now.

since the civil war
He said that while-the appropriation
under the Sheppard-Town bill calls
for only 100000 this year, it is only
beginning. and that millions will be
asked In years to come.
Senator Warren said that he thought
the women Of the country themselves
would see the need of taking sound
action and Of not embarrassing the

Senator King of Btah suggested that
the bill be passed over, to be taken up
