Senator Fights Raise
W. r. ( e. Plan for Increase
viii Be Vigorously Fought
In Congress.

Senator Nathaniel b. Dial OF South
Carolina. member OF the Senate Dis
trict OF Columbia Committee fairly
exploded today at the suggestion OF
10 cent street car fare In Washing
ton.
"such a thing 40 10 cent fare Is
proposterous and should never be al
lowed to happen" he declared
sharply.
Senator Dial Is q frequent user of
the Washington street railways and
expressed 1t as his opinion today that
the only cure for the ails of the
Company Is a merger with the Cap
ital Traction Company.
''The frst thing that should be
done Id to squeeze all the water out
OF Its stock" he said. That's the
chief trouble with that line"
Senator Dial Intends to become ac-
lively Interested In the merger ques-
ton to an issue In Congress during
the forthcoming session.
He believes that the street railway
should be allowed a fair
return for the service II gives the
public and is prepared to make that
return . very fair one.
He does not believe. however. that
the people OF the District Who ar,
compelled to use the street cars should
be forced to pay a ten-cent fare, as
President Ham OF the Washington
Railway and Electric Company pro-
poses.
"If anything the rate of fare should
be lowered In Washington" said
Dial. ut Is certainly high
enough now and to force a further
increase on the travelling public
would be a hardship that Congress.
should not permit"
Senator Dial Is a member of the
District Committee which will handle
the merger bill when II comes up for
action during the coming session.

Relieve Shortage.

A tentative program for relieving

Of the City Club at a meeting last

The tentative program offers three
recommendations: the cXemDtion from

raising OF Government employees sal

enable them to pay increaSed rentals
and purchase the necessities Of life.
and the launching Of campaign Of
education on thrift and economy.
The tentative resolution declares
that the housing situation here and
throughout the country is as serioas
now az during the war and that there

Mr.. Wright, In the petition. states
