TRACTION
NOT TOASK HIGHER
STREET CAR FARE
Rate Expires for Both Lines
December 31-W. R. &c.
Co. Stand Uncertain.

The Capital Traction Company will
not seek a higher fare when the pres
ent rate of four tickets for 80 cents
expires December 81.
This was made clear YESTERDAY by
George E. Hamilton, president. who
said there is no foundation, SO far as
his company is concerned, for a re-
quest for an increase in the present
rate. BE called attention to the fact
that the Capital Traction did not ask
for the present rate Of fare when it
was ordered by the utilities commits
sion last May upon application of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company.
When the commission fixed the pres.
ent rate of fare in May it provided
that the former rate OF z cents cash
or four tickets for IS cents, should
automatically return on January 1
unless otherwise ordered in the mean.
time.
Cannet stand Loss.
Although William F. Ham, president
of the Washington Railway and Elec.
definitely that that company will seek
additional revenue, he has intimated
that his company could not stand the
loss that would result from a restora-
tion Of the old rate.
This means that the W. r. and e.
at least will ask that the existing rate
be continued after December. Mr.,
Ham is waiting for complete operat-
ing figures for this month to deter
mine whether to ask for a higher rate
of fare.
The w. r. and E. will file a pe-
tition with the commission toward the
end OF November. setting forth its
views on what the fare should be
after December. Although Mr.. Hamil-
ton does not feel that the Capital
Traction needs another increase, it is
practically certain that the commits
sion will make that COMPANY a nartv
to the case If the W. R. and E. de-
cides a higher fare is necessary to
give 1t reasonable return on the
value of its property.
Change I'm Tax SOUGHT.
The utilities commission admitted
in May that the w. r. and E. needed
$91S,Q00 additional in order to earn 6
per cent upon the value of it's prop
erty. The commission also admitted
that the present rate of fare would
yield the company only $625, 200 more
in revenue. leaving balance of ap-
100000. The commission
that Congress abolish
the per cent tax on the gross reve-
nuesof the street railway companies
and substitute a tax on net income
in excess of a per cent return.
Such legislation would have given
the w. r. and E. the remaining $780,
900 and would have taken from the
Capital Traction Company some of its

HARDING CHARGES
LEAGUE TRESPASS
/. ON SMALL NATIONS
Bratiano's Version Puts
Light on Article X,
He Declares.

BY the Associated Press.
MARION. Ohio. October 23.-AIlud-
ing for the first time to the con-
troversy between President Wilson and
senator Spencer over the formers
Farls utterances regarding Americas
part IN maintaining European reace,
Senator Harding said tonight that the
version of the Presidents words re-
Gently published in this country and
attributed to Premier Bratiano of
Rumania served to throw new light
on the real character of article X.
The controversy as to the exact
language used by Mr.. Wilson was not
itself discussed by the republican
nominee, who said in reply to a oues-
ton that it was not his dispute. He
added. however, that "the belated tes-
timony of the Rumanian premier is
very interesting by way of confirming
the Presidents objections to amending
the league covenant"
Quotes President Wilson.
THE President said to several SEN
ators." continued Mr.. Harding. "for
one OF whom I can speak definitely.
that any amendment would lead to
demands between Rumania and other
small nations with attending embar-
rassment
All this emphasizes our objection
to the covenant as written. Clearly
the supreme council trespassed the
rights Of the small nations and as
sumed to decide their very own
political and economic affairs. and
then set about to maintain the exist
Ing order of things by the rule Of
force. 1t has been the republican
purpose all along to establish a world
association for the rule Of justice
rather than force.
Clearly Europe understands that
which we are coming to know, that
the league 40 written commits Amer
lea to the armed support of the four
great powers in maintaining the In
tegrity of their enlarged dominions
whenever attacked from without This
Is why America will vote it's unalter-
able hostility to article x. When
that is done we may seek a new un-
derstanding. one which will hold MS
unmortgaged to Europe and the
orient"
The senator made no speeches dur
ing the day. but in celebrating his
comment on the Bratiano interview
he gave out several quotations from
Thomas Jefferson, Grover Cleveland
and Woodrow Wilson, which he said
had direct bearing on the whole
league issue,
Works ON Speeches,
Mr.. Harding spent virtually all of
today at work, on the speeches with
which he will wind up his campaign
next week in Ohio. He also gave his
nnal approval Of the itinerary for the
trip. which provides that he leave
Marion at 1910 Q.m. Wednesday and
not return until early Sunday morn
ing. Wednesday. Thursday and Fri
day nights are to be spent at hotels
in the cities where he speaks.
The schedule includes only the fol-
lowing four stops: At Cleveland, from

Renewed Negotiations Be-
tween Miners and Govern
ment Start Today.

LONDON, October 2s.-The threatened
sympathetic strikes of the railway
men and transport workers, in sup
port of the striking coal miners,
which would have forced virtually all
the industries Of Great Britain to
shut down. have been postponed,
pending renewed negotiations between
the government and the miners, which
will be inaugurated Sunday morning
when Premier Lloyd George meets rep
resentatives Of the miners executive
in an attempt to arrive at a basis of
settlement.
This decision was reached after a
day of conference. the premier late
this afternoon having sent a letter to
Frank Hodges Of the Miners Union
suggesting the meeting. Thereupon
the railway men, at the request of the
miners, suspended action in order
that, in the words Of an official state
ment' issued by ]. H. Thomas. general
secretary Of the National Union of
Railway Men. Every hope Of peace
might be explored without difficulty
being added by railway strike"
Honorable Settlement Sought.
Mr.. Thomas, in announcing the sus-
pension of the strike notices pending
negotiations between the miners and
the government, said the miners had
given another indication of their
anxiety for peace. and that it was
for every one to help toward an hon
orable settlement.
The transport workers had mean
while, it is understood, decided to
await further action until the meet
ing of the parliamentary committee
of the trades union congress next
Wednesday, although no official state
ment was made to this effect.
Hopeful Feeling.
A hopeful feeling prevailed here

minister of mines. having. it is un-
derstood, prepared fresh formula
designed to make the governments
coal output proposals look more at
