called into conference this morning
by President Harding while he was
reading the final proof on his first mes
| sage. which he read to Congress in
person at pm.
the White House went out unexpect-
edly. 1t was understood that the
President desired to present to the
senators his statement in his mes
sage regarding foreign relations.
No Correction Made.
The senators began arriving at the
White House soon after 10 o'clock
and the conference began half an
hour later
The proof Of the address as cor
rected by the President was given to
the public printer at that time. II
any corrections were to be made after
the conference it was assumed they
would be telephone,l to the govern
ment printing office.
After the decision to summon the re-
publican members Of the foreign re-
lations committee to the White House,
the President Cancelled the regular
Tuesday meeting Of the cabinet, which

tanned on the subject of foreign

ference.

TRACTION MERGER
CONFERENCE HELD
Railway Officials Meet Dis
trict Commissioners to Dis
cuss Preliminary Issues.

Efforts to bring about a voluntary
merger Of WaShington's street car
systems passed the initial test today
when representatives Of the traction
interests and Of the Public Utilities
Commission. after a conference last
ing nearly three hours, adjourned to
meet again next week.
Engineer Commissioner Kutz, in
whose Office the conference was held,
was elected chairman Of the meeting
anu designated as spokesman for the
conferees.
I'VE have decided to make only the
brief announcement at this time" said
Col. kutz. that we have organized,
discussed the general principles of a
merger and outlined certain informa-
tion which Is to be collected and sub
mitted at the next meeting, to be held
ing"
Asked if this statement could be in
terpreted as indicating that progress
has been made toward getting the
merger under way, Col. Kutz replied
that the statement spoke for itself
Representatives Present.
The conferees went into session at
1880 o'clock. Their deliberations were
conducted in secret, not even a stenog-
rspher being admitted. although one
was held in readiness outside the
room. The Capital Traction Company
had but single representative pres
ent, George E. Hamilton. its presi-
dent. Illness prevented the attend
ance of Vice President Hanna, its
other designated representative. For
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company President William F. Ham
and Milton E. Allies. a member Of the
board of directors, appeared. The COM
missions representatives were Col.
Kutz and James F. Oyster.
In many respects today's conference
is considered as probably the most
important one that will be held, mas
much as there was to be a meeting
Of the minds on the question of basic
principles of a merger. 1t had been
conceded that unless the interests
represented could agree as to these
basic considerations the merger move
ment might not proceed beyond to-
days meeting.
It is apparent that the conferences
are to be highly informal and that
they will be given a minimum of pub
licity.
