WASHINGTON, July 23.-Opposition

The railroads, IN a petition filed with
the interstate commerce commission yes

said
It was learned employees have collected

sity Of increased revenue.
The proposed 80 per cent increase on
passenger and Pullman fares was exs

mercial Travellers.
Farmer organizations win inquire into
the necessity Of a raise of approximately
40 per cent for carrying milk.
This would increase the price Of milk.

DON'T CARE TO
COMMENT-LEWIS

No hint Of possible connection Of mine
workers officials with the apparently au-
thorized strike Of Illinois bituminous coal
miners was forthcoming from headquar-
ters Of the United Mine Workers here to-
day.
Miners leaders were mum also as to
whether union heads were taking action
to end the waIkout, which it is said lis
becoming serious"
Asked If the strike were authorized
John I. Lewis, president Of the miners
organization. said he did not care to
comment"
Lewis declined, too, to state whether
he was keeping IN touch with the I'LL.
nois situation.
It appeared doubtful whether federal
machinery involved In the nationwide
coal strike again would come into play.
Practically all Officials who participated
in the prosecution Of the miners at that
time are out of the city.

JAMESON SAYS
NOCOIN HALTS
IMPROVEMENTS
Board of Works Promises to
'CO-Operate,' but Doesn't
Say Just How.
SAME OLD STORY AGAIN

DR.. Henry jameson, president of
the board of directors of the Indi-
annapolis Street Railway Company,
today explained TO the board of
works why the company has not
been carrying out the orders of the
board and probably will not do so.
Members of the board who futilly
have been issuing orders for the last
six months, listened to the statement
and promised to cooperate"
DIR. Jameson told the board what gem
orally has been known. that the company
has not sufficient money to carry out
the orders. which would require a capt
tai of $4,000 600 or 100000, and that
a higher rate Of fare viii be required II
the orders are to be carried out.
The board demanded some statement
from Or. jameson as to what the COM
pany expects to do In putting the Massa-
chGsetts avenue line in such shape that
the board can go ahead with re-surfac-
ms.
Dr. Jameson promised immediate action
would be taken.
Dr. Jameson said that the company can
not possibly do any work on the West
Washington street line or the extension
Of the car line to Fifty-frst street on Col
lege avenue.
YES. DIR. JAMESON
KNOWS 1T.
George Lemaux. president of the board,
asked DR. Jameson II he knows there is
a movement among the people OF the city
to have the company placed in the hands
of a receiver.
DR.. jameson replied that he knew
there was such 3 movement and that he
thought th~ company would have to beat
them to II II the people expected It to
make all the Improvements asked for.
T. B. McAIath. civil engineer for the
street railway company. said it is impos-
sible 10 get labor FOR the improvements
that are needed even If the materials
could be bought and the company were
IN such a financial condition that 1t
could buy them
He said the steel mills have not rolled
a street car rail since before the war,
and that it would be several months be-
fore a shipment Of rails could be OBJ
tained
My McMath said the company is aware
that It's lines are IN need Of repair and
that Il viii cooperate with the board
In the improvement of the streets, but
that It is Z physical impossibility for
any definite action to be taken by the
company.
At a recent meeting the board OF
works notified the street car company
that a fine Of $50 day would be as
sessed against the company II 1t did
not complete the work on Massschu-
setts avenue by Aug. ii.
DIR. JAMESON
ASKS LENIENCY.
Or. jameson asked leniency on the
part OF the board in this respect
While no reply was made 10 this re-
quest. It is understood the board will
not assess the threatened fine.
Mr. McAath said the trouble Of re-
pairing the Massachusetts, avenue tracks
Is that there are so many cars using the
line that only a small part of the work
could be done In a ten-hoUr day.
Dr. Jameson said II the board pushed
too much work on the company this
