ELECTRICAL WORKERS
ASK SIPS PER HOUR
New Union Wage Scale in District
Calls for Increase Of IS
Cents an Hour.

Cents an Hour.
Organized electrical workers of
Washington have submitted a union
wage scale calling for SIPS per hour,
starting January 1. to employers. it
has been announced.
Notification of such action for an
increase from 81 to $1.25 per hour
was given last August. but committee
meetings were not held by employers
and employees on the matter until
last Thursday, when committee
from the employing electrical men
met with a union scale committee
for a consultation. Howard P. Foley,
secretary of the committee for the
employers, said today that 81 per hour
would be all that would be conceded
by employers for the next year. This
information has been delivered to the
workers.
Another meeting was held Tues
that the committees report back to
the respective organizations with a
request for the appointment of an
other committee for each group,
which would have sufficient discre-
tionary authority to settle the scale.
Another meeting of the employers
association will be held Tuesday. and
it is probable that the date set for
the Inauguration of the new scale
will not mean the walkout of the
men if the scale does not start
promptly on the first of the year.
Electrical work at present is lead
ing virtually all other lines of build
ing trades employment. The slow
winter season has set in, and the work
in other trades is in more or less of
a slump. In electrical lines, how
ever, enough work for the number
Of electrical workers of the city is on
hand, Mr.. Foley said, and the situa-
ton is good for the season.

STREET CAR FARE CASE
PENDING SINCE HEARING
Commission Has Not Had Opportu-
nifty to Read Decision, Says
Col. Kutz.

The Public Utilities Commission has
not considered the question Of fixing
the rate of street car fare which Is
to be in effect after December 81
since the public hearing ended last
week, according to Col Charles w.
Kutz, chairman of the commission.
Accountants of the commission now
are going over the testimony sub
mitted by the Washington Railway
and Electric Company in support OF
its petition for a straight fare Of :
cents, but the commission has not
had an opportunity this week to
reach a decision.
Since the District building will
close at noon tomorrow. there remains
only a day and a half before Christ
mas in which to decide on the street
car fare. 1t probably will be Mon
day before the decision is ready.
In view Of the slight possibility OF
action by Congress at this time. the
commission will consider carefully
whether another increase should be
given to the Capital Traction.
