PARK VIEW CTS
URGE new FARES
Would Have Public Utilities
Commission Act at To-
days Session.

The Public Utilities Commission
at the hearing today will be urged
to instruct the Washington Railway
and Electric Company and the Cap
ital Traction Company to charge
fares based upon their respective
valuations.
A resolution to this effect was
voiced by the Park View Citizens
Association at a meeting last night
in the United Presbyterian Church.
J. l. Carr, who opposed the reso-
luton. declared that IF a change
of fare was effected it would end
In a Generalization of the Washing
ton hallway and Electric Company
and greatly penalize the Capital
Traction Company
Il believe that this is the only
way to form a merger of the two
companies" said W. L. Gutelius, who
introduced he resolution.
The association also went on rec
ord as favoring a more stringent
law regarding the carrying of dan
gerous weapons. Numerous crimes
and acts of lawlessness have made
the lives Of citizens no longer safe,
the members declared.

Congress to help shoulder the up
keep Of the community centers of

SAYS GIBBS HOLDS
PARTISAN VIEWS

Admitting that Philip Gibbs. Eng
iish lecturer and war correspondent,
made very few positive misstate-
ments in his lecture on The Truth
About Ireland" last week, Father
@. F. X. Murphy declared last night
before a large audience at sol Z
street northwest, that Gibbs often
failed to tell the whole truth during
his lecture.
There Is more than one way to
tell a falsehood." Father Murphy re-
minded his audience, "and one of
these is by the suppression Of some
Of the truth.
Gibbs said some very compli-
mentary things about the Irish peo-
pie, but the majority of them were
Of the Irish people OF the past. not
the present"
Father Murphy said that he had
culled thirty-seven distinct items
from Gibbs lecture where the Eng
lishman made partisan arguments in
England's favor.

Skeleton Importations
From Germany Slump

Experts OF the Department of
Commerce analyzing Germany's ex-
ports to the United States. have dis
covered a mystery which in its para
dox has baffled AL solution. it was
learned here yesterday
Before the war practically all
skeletons imported into the United
states came from Germany, and
their aggregate value ran into six
figures.
Now, with an unlimited supply Of
raw materials" Germany did not
export one skeleton into this coun-
try last year.
"Why?" the experts ask. and they
have not even a skeleton key to the
mystery. ~

GOMRERS WARNS
OF UNION MENACE
Attacks International Bodies
In Denying U. s. Labor
Alliance.

I'VE must decline to be q part
Of a movement that undertakes the
overthrow of the democratic gov
ernment of the United States"
This is the keynote CT the letter
recently sent by Samuel Gompers,
as head of the American Federation
of Labor, Withdrawing from the
International Federation of Trade
Unions. The communication was
made public today.
Other reasons given for with
drawal are that the new constitu-
tion of the international organiza-
tion completely abrogates the
principle Of complete autonomy for
each national trade union fedora
tion. and that the system of dues
would place an unbearable expense
upon the American Federation.
Referring to the revolutionary
policy of the international fedora
tion. Mr.. Gompers wrote:
cit is committed to q revolutionary
policy which the American Fedora
tion, in the interest of the toiling
masses, cannot sanction, but which,
on the contrary. it is bound by
every law of reason and sanity to
oppose. The executive officers have
adopted and promulgated a policy
calling for revolutionary action
with the 'socialization' of industry
as its objective. The .American
Federation is opposed to that policy
and there can be no compromise be-
tween the two points of view"
The revolutionary viewpoint found
its extreme mantle estation, accord
ing to Mr.. Gompers, in an appeal
for revolutionary measures in aid
Of the Soviets issued on September
s. 1919. and which has never been
repudiated, modified or abandoned"
This and subsequent documents,
Mr.. Gompers added, prove that the
organization has no thought of
abandoning the revolutionary poll
icy. He continued:
The American Federation is most
anxious to be part OF an inter-
national trade union movement.
American workers can be benefited
but little, II at all. by the labor
movement of other countries. But
yet we shall be glad of the oppor-
tunity to cooperate and work with
the workers of all lands to better
the lives and work Of the toilers
wherever they may be.
But in so doing we must decline
to be a part Of a movement which
undertakes the destruction of the
American labor movement or the
overthrow OF the democratic gov
ernment OF the Republic of the
United States"
The decision to withdraw from
the International organization was
reached At a meeting of the execu-
tive council OF the American Fed

ertN -Bentamin A Minor. attorney
for me company. urged the continu-
ancs of the present price of gas. at
the bearing before the Public Utili-
ties Commission in the District
Building yesterday.
: The hearing Is the result Of q
petition on the part of the WASH
ingson Gas Light Company for
combination OF the present price
Of gas after April l. when the pres
ent Rsreement expires.
Figure Heavy Return
Accountants Of the Public Utili-
ties Commission have estimated that
II the present price Of gas should be
continued and the Washington COM
pany should be able to buy oil for
the balance of the year at the Feb
ruary prices, which was 9.97 cents
per gallon, the company's rate OF
return for 1921 would be lila per
cent
OIL Declines.
The Engineer Commissioner said
the estimate of the District account
ants Is based on the assumption that
the company will sell the same
amount of gas in 1920 and pay the
same for labor and all the other
items of expense except oil. which
has been declining in price since
February.
Testimony taken at the opening
of the hearing disclosed that the
company does not expect to pay
. more than eight and one-half cents
per gaHen for oil to be bought be-
tween row and May for gas-making
purposG
This IS four cents cheaper than
the rate of twelve and three-fourths
cents per gallon which the company
was paving when the commission
fixed the price Of gas to private con-
supers at l.s2 per thousand cubic
feet.
Chairman Kutz expressed sur
prise that there should be no de-
cline in the price of gas with the
price of oil declining
rimes Are Better.
Howard S. FReesIde. president OF
the gas company. in reply to a
question on prices put to him by
William NICK Clayton, counsel for
the Federation OF Citizens Asso-
Citations. said:
Il think the tide has turned. We
nave passed the danger mark. The
times are much more better and we
are more hopeful than we have been
for a long period"
Reeside declared to Clayton that
he would not contract for oil or
coal for year or two years at the
prices he paid last year. because the
market fiuctuated making 1t a bet
ter policy to purchase these COM
nodities from month to month.
Asks New Minimum.
Charles w. parr. attorney for the
\ Washington Restaurant Associa-
tion. urged upon the commission
that IL set $4,000 cubic feet as the
minimum amount to be included in
the wholesale rate schedule, instead
of the 100000 feet, which Is the
prevailing minimum.
= Darr advised a lower uniformly
graduating scale for large users of
gas. on the basis that this would
encourage wholesale users to con-
sumo more gas, and in the end
would henent the company.
$50 Asks Adjustment.
In the closing arguments Clayton
asked the commission to repair the
disparity existing between gas rates
Tor private consumers and those for

ments- He said the commission was
empowered to do this through the
