MORE CITY LIGHTS
CALLED VITAL NEED
Clayton to Push Campaign to
Prevent Accidents and
HoId-Ups.

When the Federation Of Citizens
Associations meets at the District
Saturday night it will be
asked to begin vigorous campaign
for more street lights throughout the
District.
William NICK. Clayton. an active
worker In tho federation. and a member
of tho committee appointed by the Com
missioners to solve the automobile
parking problem, last night announced
he would request the federation to In
quire into the adequacy OF the street
MI. Clayton .aid hs believes that
more lights on the avenues and high
ways Of the city is essential in any
move that is made to reduce the num-
ber Of street accidents in Washington.
A better distribution Of lights, both
gas and electric. also would tend to
prevent hold-ups and house breakngs
that occur at night.
Present Lights Adequates
creasing the number Of street lights
Mr.. Clayton said he also would make
inquiry to determine whether the ex.
listing lights are I'D to the standard
called for by the city.
Warren B. Hadley, superintendent OF
street lighting, told The Star last
night that at the present time there
are no complaints of either gas OF
electric street lights being below the
standard required by his department
During the war the gas company had
trouble in keeping its street light.
to standard because Of inability to
get the regular equipment and other
conditions brought on by the war. Mr.
Hadley stated. Since the signing OF
the armistice. he said. the gas street
lamps have been kept UP to the re-
quired efficiency.
ID. C. OMcials Agree.
District officials agree with the
citizens in the belief that there is neet
for more lights on the streets The
appropriations for the street lighting
department have not been increased
however, in proportion to the growth
of the city.
More than 80 per cent Of the luml
sum appropriated for street lighting
goes to pay for the gas and electric
current furnished. leaving only 6
small. sum to be spent on the installa-
tion of new posts.
II the District budget for the nexi
fiscal year contains an increased a1lot-
ment for street lighting when it goes
to Congress in December 1t Is likely
that the citizens associations will dc
all in their power to have the legis
lators make the appropriation
Mr.. Clayton believes that in view o.
the steps now being taken by tht
Commissioners to stop the toll o,
deaths from street accidents, the tim'
is opportune for the federation to re
new Its efforts to get more lights.

as follows:
Il think there has been established

antitrust law. to limit the produc-
tion Of coal shipped in interstate
commerce from West Virginia and
therefore 1t was a conspiracy to in
terefere with interstate commerce.

Conspiracy to Exclude.
In the verified complaint submitted
as q part Of the evidence statements
made by miners and operators at
various wage conferences were re-
cited in part as tending to prove that
the wage agreements, including the
Check on" disclosed a conspiracy to
exclude tho West Virginia coal from

Tense, however. declared by affldavits
of union ofacials. that these excerpts
did not fully disclose the facts. Fur
thor, tho union ofncials denied any
acts Of conspiracy. asserting their
only purpose was to improve wages
and WORKING conditions.
Tho defense Of tho operators. also
made by affldavits. was that they had
sought to discard the "check- off," but
had been compalled through the
Washington wage agreement and the
bituminous coal commission that
granted the wage award following
the 1918 coal strike to maintain this
system. The Washington agreement.
it was declared, was made with the
'"sanotion and approval Of the United
