PENNA. MOTORISTS
IN LICENSE TANGLE
Arrest of Maryland Drivers
May End Reciprocity
Arrangement.

BALTIMORE. Md. September 27
Especially .-Pennsylvania automobile
owners stand in a fair way of being
put into the same class with District
of Columbia motorists in losing the
present advantages of the reciprocity
licensing arrangement between their
state and Maryland. Incidentally
Maryland's Golfers will be considera-
bly, enriched at the expense of the
pocketbooks of the Keystone state
car owners and operators.
The change now in contemplation is
due to the recent action of the Penn
sylvania authorities in arresting road
material truck owners who were
hauling stone from a short distance
over thee state line into this state
for use on Maryland roads. This, in
the opinion of the Maryland authori-
ties, breaks the long standing nom
licensing rule for cars of one state
crossing and recrossing the line into
the other state on temporary pleasure
or business trips.
Under that arrangement Pennsyl-
vania was getting the better of it.
MANY of her farmers and truckers
were using. without the regular Mary
land license, the reciprocity arrange
ment to conduct regular business
hauls of materials for the Baltimore
markets AS the Quaker authorities
have broken the agreement and ar
rested Maryland truck owners, Mary
land now plans to retaliate by fore
ing hundreds of Pennsylvanians who
have enjoyed exemption to take out
regular Maryland license.

SOFT COAL MINES
INCREASE OUTPUT
Operators Hope to Avert
Famine by Speeding Up
Production.

Bitumfnous coal operators are bend
ing every effort to attain q weekly
output Of more than 100000 tons
of soft coal from now to December
1. to foresta1l possibility Of a coal
shortage during the winter, says
statement issued last night by the
National Coal Association.
Lack of sufficient cars at the mines
has hindered this rate of production
during the summer. the ASSOCIATION
declared, but assurances have been
received from the railroad executives
that they will live up to the rqulre-
ments put upon them. Operators cal
culate that with production running
at more than 100000 tons a week
the existing deficiency, due to under
December 1.
Movement Of open top cars for the
transportation of coal to the north
west, under orders Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, will be ex-
pedited by the railroad, the state
ment said, to insure a winter supply
of coal for that section.
Soft coal production during the
week ended September is reached
11.614000 tons. according to a rport
issued by the United States geological
survey, and surpassed production for
ception. Total production for the cal
endar year to that date was Sso,o
$4,000 tons. an increase of 50ooo.ooo
tons over 1919. The survey estimates
that production for 1920 is about
100000 tons behind that Of 1917.

ORLANDO is DEFENDER
OF WORKMEN'S CONTROL
Former italian Premier Asserts It
Is Not Incompatible With
Private Ownership.

ROME, September 25.-Dealing
with the industrial situation in an
interview in the Giornaie d1talia to-
day former Premier Orlando de-
clared that on the face of the propo-
sition he did not believe there was
absolute incompatbility between
the idea Of private property and the
fact of the workmen's control of the
factories.
TT is not impossible" said Senior
Orlando, ito form a company where
one factor contributes work and an
other capital If it is realized that
mutual interest gives, in itself, the
right Of control. it is easy to deduce
that the recent affirmation of the
workmen'S rights may constitute a
bold reform, but does not upset ex-
listing rights. Therefore, if the es-
tablishment Of control has the effect
on the one hand, of bringing about
social peace, and, on the other, OF
causing increased production, it may
be called advantageous
IT tha newly gained control IN
creases the sense of responsibility in
both the worl<men and the employers,
uniting these two essential elements
of production in q common vision Of
the common interests, the national
economy cannot fail to gain
through it"

SORORITY GIRLS BARRED,

High school sorority members will
not be admitted this year to girls fra
ternities at George Washington Uni.
versity. 1t was announced today by
Miss Lee Ella Warren, president Of the
unlversitys Panh euenic Association.
The ruling is in line with a stand
taken by the National Panhellenic
Fraternity Congress. The university
girls feel that many Of the high school
sororities are detrimental to the best
interests OF girl students and are not
organized on the high plane and with
the lofty ideals Of university fraterni-
ties.
The Interfraternity Association has
announced that 1t will hold a smoker
for all freshmen in the Medical School

ing supplied with a copy of the &c. W.

Public Utilities Commission Sees

The Public Utilities Commission, it
was learned today, has rejected a
request of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company to discontinue
service between Brookland and Con-

the rush hours.
The company contended that. since it
issues transfers to all westbound cars,
through service from North Capitol
street to connecticut avenue is not
needed. The commission disagreed
with this contention, in view Of the
large number of people working in the
War Risk building at Vermont avenue
and H street and in the government
buildings west of 18th street
The request has been returned to
the company for further considera-
ton.
