STAND PAT POLICY
F0RUN|0N TRACTION
Stockholders Express Opinion
That p. R. T. Contract Must
Be Lived Up To
REDUCTION PLEA Rejected

A revived report that the Union
Traction Co. would compromise with
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co. on
the question Of rentals was denied to-
day by some Of the stockholders Of the
former concern, who declared they
would stand by the statement made by
J. j. Sullivan, counsel for the Union
Co.
Mr.. Sullivan said he had nothing to
add to his statement made at the last
meeting of the Union Co.. when he
announced that the Union Traction Co.
would not agree to q reduction in
rentals.
Among the stockholders Of the Union
Traction Co. who expressed their views
on the situation was DIR. Louis Brit
ton. Of 1882 North Eighth street.
II agree absolutely with the views
expressed by Mr.. Sullivan at the Union
meeting" said Doctor Britton. There
has been much unwarranted criticism
OF the Union Traction Co. I observe
that some of this has come from the
p. Il. r. Co. It's case of the pot
calling the kettle black. Incidentally,
the p. r. T. Co. is not a good sport.
If at the present time the Rapid Tran
sit Co. finds that its operating expenses
exceed its income. let the company go
to the people who got the $50. 900, 900
which appears to have been lost in the
shuttle. The p. II. T. Co. sold stock
to the amount of $4,000. 900 and all
ii appears to have had was a lease.
After signing u legal lease they are
virtually going to their neighbors and
asking them to pay their rent. Stock
holders of the Union Traction Co.
played the game and won. II the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co. made
an imprudent agreement that is their
lookout. If the stockholders of the
Union Traction Co. had lost, would
the citizens of this city have refunded
the $l7.50 a share that the Union Trac-
ton shareholders paid for their stock?"
Doctor Britton summed the whole
thing UP with quotation from the
Merchant of Venice" which he said
was applicable to the present situation.

of my bond,

ward i. Fischer. the man who furnishr cd
several Of his friends with advance tips
on the Wall street bomb explosion. Rd D..
mittrd having visited one Of the largest
explosive plants in the United States
within the last month.
According to immigration Officer
Hugh Sweeney, to whom this admission
was made, Fischer appears TO be very
familiar with this explosive plant. II
was some time after this trip. Sweeney
says, that Fischer, according to his own
statements. issued his first warnings Of
the great calamity u come.
Sweeney further states that among
Fis"h"r's effects he has discovered a
visiting card bearing the name Of the
wife Of the president of this explosive
concern with whom Fischer claims ar-
qunintanC".
Fischer himself who is n handsome
man, NOR" than six feet in height,
powerful built, is prisoner in Barton
street Jail.
The Hamilton authorities received a
telegram from Chief Inspector Lahcy,
Of the New York police department, re-
lueSting that he be- held a prisoner.
Detective Sergeant Mccoy, reported to
be on his way here with papers request
ing Fisrhcr's appearance in New York
before the grand jury.
Should Fischer be dcpOrtcd rs one Of
unSound mind, it is understood that
Mccoy will take him in custody at the
border
You may deny me my freedom
now Fischer murmured yesterday.
but my turn will come" He cx-
pressed confidence in his physical
strength, telling how he had boxed with
Jack Dempsey, and asking are you not
afraid Of me-?
Police officers say that Fischer OK
tollrd the Russian Soviet regime and in
sisted upon reading extracts from a
Bolshcyik pamphlet.
There are some Of those who incline
TO the belief that FischcrS prophecies
are merely the result of coincidence.
None Of the officials here seem to
believe that Fischer had any part in
plotting the Wall street tragedy. 1t
Is said, however, that some maniac in
volyed in the scheme may have taken
him into bis confidence.

Thousands Lost by

would consume a noticeable amount OF
gas itself.
II understand that Charleston, 8. c.,
has system whereby it starts to turn
on the lights at dark, and starts ex-
tinguishing them before dawn, but this
system could not be used here. as the
sections temporarily left In darkness
would furnish a paradise for criminals.
Il do not see how this waste could be
rcmedied unless we increase the number
of gas lighters, and that simply means
increase in wages paid out. which would
probably more than counterbalance the
saving in gas"
The possibility of an installation
throughout the city of electric gas.
lighters, similar to those used In dwell =
ings, was secuted by an electrical expert.
who pointed out that the cost would be
prohibitive despite the advantage of be-
ing able to turn the lights on and off
from central station, as with electric
lighters.
It was also noted that in event of the
failure of one of the electrical igniting
devices. the turning on Of the gas at the
"ntral station would result In the gas
pouring out unlighted into the atmos
phere where the device had failed, and
possibly causing a serious calamity.
And so the gas goes to waste-and IL
represents 21a per cent Of the estimated
operating loss on the Philadelphia gas
works of the U. G. l. for 1920.
1t became known at City Hall TODAY
that Mayor Moore does not contemplate
offering an ordinance to provide for a
board of experts to study the gas sit
uation.
The Mayor feels, it is said. that he
transferred any responsibility there
might be in the matter to Council.
when he sent them the recent letter
written him by President Bodine.
Richard Weglein, president Of Coun-
Gil, said the gas lease question would
be considered after the completion of
work on the loan. There may be a
new ordinance introduced, or that now
lying in the committc on transportation
and public utilities may be revived and
amended. This is an ordinance intro
duced early in the summer by Council
man Develin, creating n board of ex-
perts to make recommendations to
Council with regard to retaining per-
mancntly the British thermal unit
system.
