Not Hearing Repre-
sentatives.

Criticism Of the Public Utilities
Commission for alleged failure to
permit labor representatives to
eross-examipe experts brought here
by the washington Railway and
Electric Company to testify on the
traction zoning plan was voiced at
last nights meeting of the Central
Labor Union at Musicians' Hall.
Local labor leaders. as shown in
a report made by Frank J. Cole
man. chairman of the Legislative
committee are aroused that the
Utilities Commission should not give
their representatives the courtesy
of cross-examining witnesses.
1t is pointed out that working
people Of the city who have moved
to the suburbs to build or rent
homes within their means will be
hardest hit by the establishment Of
the zone system.
Most of the trade-unionists and
government clerks live In what will
be the third zone. They will have to
pay two or three fares for one ride.
while those living in the first zone
win be charged the minimum
amount
The large sections Of the Districts
population who live in Takoma
Park. in the northeast suburbs, out
Wisconsin, avenue, would be in the
third zone and be forced to pay two
or three times the present fare.
