d. C.. CONDUCTORS
MAY NOT QUERY
CAR PASSENGERS

Patrons of the various lines of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany have a perfect right to take any
car that comes along and secure any
proper transfer, without being forced
to listen to any questions from conduc-
tors as to why they did not wait for
some other car, according to Acting
President Bowen today.
This statement as to the rights of
passengers followed a complaint to Mr..
Bowen yesterday afternoon by patron
of the company who boarded a car
ma rked Georgetown at 18th and F
streets, and asked the conductor for a
transfer at Dupont Circle to Mt
Pleasant
why didn't you wait for a Mount
Pleasant carr asked the conductor.
sired transfer
Upon the passenger asking the con-
ductor by what right he was asking
passengers why they didn't do things,
the conductor reluctantly handed over
the transfer. and then started to argue
with the passenger about not waiting
for a car marked Mount Pleasant"
The passenger was acting clearly
within his rights. Acting President
Bowen declared, and he, or any other
patron of the line. has a right to take
whatever car he pleases, according to
his convenience and desire, and secure
whatever proper transfer he pleases,
without comment from the conductor.

81 a month, the commissioners were
informed.
1t is understood that before deci

commission will follow their custom
of personally inspecting the various

a good deal of work and consume
several days.

FAR NORTHEAST WANTS F..
BETTER POSTAL SERVICE /.
John H. Paynter Hopes Needs of
Section Will Soon Be
Gratifed.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
/ read with much interest the news
article in the issue of August II,
headed Capital to Have Chain of
Postal Stations" and was highly graft
fed to mark the increased facilities
with which the postal department is
seeking to meet demands in the matter
of mail distribution.
The attractive caption of the article
stimulated hope that the far north
east section of the city might be
named as one of the beneficiarieS of
this plan. In this l was disappointed.
The section east of 44th street is
still dependent upon rural service
that for unreliability cannot have
been paralleled. even in the early days
of the star route system. There have
been times when no mail has been de-
livered for more than a week and the
residents have been forced to possess
themselves in patience or make the
journey to the station at Anacostia.
The rural system was primarily de-
signed to meet the needs of sparsely
settled, outlying sections. and it's oper-
alton is out of place in aSgrowing COM
munity. which already numbers more
than 5000 families. Clusters of road
side mail boxes along a backwoods sec
ton line show at least a comnenda BILE
effort to keep up with the procession"
but surely they carry quite different
suggestion here, within sight of and
only twenty minutes distant from the
Capitol.
The attention of the authorities has
repeatedly been called to these condi-
tons the Northeast Boundary Citizens
Association has petitioned and through
delegations and personal letters re-
quest has been made to have station
established in the section with carrier
delivery, but to no avail, and yet mail
is delivered by carrier at kenilworth
and as far east as 44th street, the
boundary of the subdivision known as
Hillbrook.
THE intention of all concerned" as
expressed in the article to which ref
erence is made, to make the local pos
tai service an example of what an
up-to-date postal service in large
city may be INSPIRES the hope that at
some not too distant day, at least not
later than when the Anacostia Park
shall have been completed, thereby
confirming the far northeast in public
notice, it, too, may be made a link in
that great chain of postal stations.

the question of Redistribution should
not be interviewer with budget leg
slation.'' said President Burd w.
Payne of the union.
BY some the action of the union
