BY Charles Nevers Holmes.
When winter's' wind with gusty roar
Is raging wildly out Of door.
When snow and sleet like arrows fly
And driven drifts are shoulder-high
And not one friendly CLEAN of light
Is seen to cheer the frenzied night;
How dreary then to dwell afar.
From where our home and loved ones
are.
Ensccnced amid some cosey room
Where glowing hearth dispels the
gloom.
With warming light and all in vain
The storm assails each window pane
A book, lamp, a cushioned chair
How good at such time to be
In ones own home, beloved, carefree

CAR MERGER ADVOCATED
BY FEDERAL employees
Government Workers Will Seek Aid
of Utilities Commission in Com
bining Street Railway Systems.

The aid of the Public Utilities Com
mission and Congress will be sought
by Federal employees to bring about
a merger of Washington's street rail-
way lines as a solution OF present
transportation difficulties, according
to plans mapped last night at a
meeting of representatives Of the
four local federal employees unions
and the resident members OF the
national legislative council of the
National Federation of Federal En-
ployes.
1t was decided to bring into force
every agency to urge the merger.
The Woods merger bill, now in Con-
gress, will be carefully studied toward
this end as will the Jones siX-and-a
quarter-cent fare bill. as we'll as
other legislative measures.
Such a survey will be a prelimi-
nary step toward the formation OF
some definite merger scheme.
Jerimiah Connolly, chairman of
the legislative committee OF Local
No. 2. Federal Employees Union, was
chosen as chairman of the merger
committee of Government employees.
]. A. Henson, of Local No. IL, was
elected as secretary.
Another meeting of the committee
will be held next Thursday evening.

,CALLS CAR MERGER
D. c. FARE SOLUTION
ReadIustment Can Come Only
Through Joining Of Lines,
Says Brownlow.

Rates OF fare can never be properly
or scientifically adjusted until the
two street railway companies oper-
ating In the District OF Columbia are
consolidated. This was the list OF
the remarks OF Louis BrowDlow,
president OF the District Commission
ers at the Luncheon Forum OF the
City Club yesterday
Mr.. Brownlow explained that con-
sideration OF the coming system was
out OF the question because OF public
objection and that the new rate OF
eight cents, or four fares for thirty
cents, had TO be made in order 10
maintain ths service the people de-
manded. The new rate, he said, was
based upon the utilities commission
valuation OF the properties. He de-
Tended the valuation, as made. but
said II might be several years before
all the appeals were settled by the
courts.
"The companies are paying train
men," he said. 100 per cent more
than Ave years ago. and materials,
etc. are costing from 100 to 800 per
cent more"
IL a higher rate had been given TO
one company than the other, he said,
II would not be long until the com
pany with the lower fare would be
carrying a majority OF the passen-
gers. This would bring about a
more serious situation than at pres
ent.
He said that 81 per cent of the car
patrons buy tickets.
Commissioner Brownlow was strong
ly OF the opinion that the companies
eventually must consolidate. He ad-
vocated q readjustment OF taxation OF
the two companies in order that equal
conditions may prevail.
That gas rates may be higher was
indicated by the commissioners re-
mark that gas-oil is now twice the
price II was when the company made
its present contract.

NO MAY DAY LABOR
R0WEXPECTEDHERE
D. c. Union Leaders Say Stu
alton Is Satisfactory to Men
and Employers.

With the approach of May I, which
is usually attended with a consider
able labor upheaval throughout the
country. Washington today finds it.
self with one of the most favorable
labor situations, il has had for years,
according to the opinions OF union
leaders.
Although a number of wage scales
term. nate during this month and on
May 1, there are few local unions,
which have not thus far had salts
factory negotiations with their en-
ployes, either for a renewal OF old
contracts. or for thc granting of ad-
ditional demands as to wages and
working conditions.
J. W. Reynolds, secretary OF the
Building Trades Council, sad today
that the labor outlook Is especially
gratifying.
With the exception of the hod-
carriers and common laborers, who
are now on strike. the other twenty
ty-two local unions of the council
are working in harmony with en-
ployers.
Similar prospects exist with the
Central Labor Union. No trouble
with the locals Is anticipated in the
signing up Of new wage scales.

HOARDED SUGAR
TO Be RELEASED
War on Spectators Expected
to Relieve Situation Within
Few Days.

War on sugar spectators who
have led in frenEied bidding up OF
the market probably will result In
the release to the public of enormous
amounts OF boarded sugar. IL was
learned at the Department Of Justice
today.
BY Riding the market OF the "spec-
ulative element" officials said today,
the sugar situation will have been
cleared OF its most dangerous factor.
In the process OF wedding out the
SPECTATORS the Department of Jus
tice today went into records to as
certain the identity of this particu-
lar group and to learn facts about
the interests behind their operations.
An important fact developed today
relative to the financial backing of
these spectators. Many of the sugar
brokers have been acting as the In
termediaries OF the candy and soft
drink manufacturers. The activity
of groups representing other inter
ests is being subjected to close scru-
tiny.
The Department of Justice is not
convinced, in the face of what ap-
pears to be welI-based reports, that
the high price of sugar is due entire
ly TO the greed OF Cuban sugar
planters.
So far, there Is nothing tangible
to connect the refneries with any
concerted plan with outside agents
to bring about steady increases in
sugar quotations. Their books and
reports have been constantly before
the Department of Justice in the
present investigation. The ref1nere
as a group are absolved from any
irregular practices.
