F|VE-CENT cARFARE
POSSIBILITY UNDER
NEW MERGER PLAN
Commissioner Oyster Defers
Announcing Details of Idea
Until They Are Complete.

five-cent street car fare by. next
March may be possible under a new
merger plan being worked out by
Commissioner Oyster.
This was intimated by the Commits
sioner today, but he said he would not
be able for several days to divu1ge
the details of the new proposal on
which he hopes the two companies
can be brought together.
Capt. Oyster said that when he be-
gan consideration of the proposed So
luton. he anticipated it would make
possible at least a six-cent fare. As
the plan has taken on more definite
shape. however. it now appears that
reduction to 5 cents may be
brought about.
Intimated Two Weeks Ago.
First intimation that Commissioner
oyster was working on a new for
mula for untangling the street-car
puzzle came two weeks ago, when it
was announced that he would con-
fer with Representative Focht. chair
man of the House District committee,
on the railway situation
The contention has been made re-
peatedly that any consolidation Of
the Washington Railway and Eiec-
trio and the Capital Traction COM
panisss wouadsreauire the sanction Of
Congress- In view of that contention
1t is presumed that Commissioners
Oysters plan would require the pas
sage of an enabling act.
Accepfability In Doubt.
Whether the scheme being mapped
out by Commissioner Oyster would be
acceptable to the two companies will
not be known until the plan in all-fts
detail has been considered by both
systems.
1t is probable that Commi ssioner
Oyster will endeavor to get the pro-
posal in shape as quickly as posi- BILE
so that it may be considered before
any further action is taken by the
House District committee on street
car legislation.

By the Associated Press.

LONDON, November 9.-The Ulster
cabinet representatives here unani-
mously approved today "the firm atti-
tude" which Sir James Craig. the
Ulster. premier, has maintained in the
interest of Ulster in his conferences
with Prime Minister Lloyd George
over the question of an Irish settle
ment.
This decision was reached after a
prolonged meeting between the Ulster
premier and the members of the cabi-
net he had summoned to London.
At this meeting Sir James explained
the situation in the Irish negotiations
so far as he had been made aware of
it in his recent interview with Mr..
Lloyd George, and outlined the course
he had pursued in the circumstances.
Definite Action Held Up.
No definite decision will be taken
by the Ulster representatives until
they are in possession of the detailed
written statement Of the negotiations
between Mr.. Lloyd George and the
Slim Fein delegates, which the British
premier has promised them, but
which he telephoned he was too busy
10 prepare today.
meeting. the Ulster cabinet members
adjourned until II o'clock Thursday
morning, when Mr.. Lloyd George
hopes to have the statement ready.
One Of those present at the session
was asked what the position was at
present. In reply he pointed to the
fog outside.
King to Discuss Ireland.
Forecasts of the kings speech pro-
rcguing parliament which 1t is
thought will be delivered tomorrow,
are to the effect that it deals almost
exclusively with the Irish situation.
Premier Lloyd George presided last
night over a cabinet council, at which
the terms of the speech were said to
have been discussed.
All the parties to the negotiations
engaged in informal parleys yester-
day Sir James Craig, the Ulster
pr emier, saw Mr.. Lloyd George and
Foreign Secretary Curzon and also
sought out influential parliamentary
leaders in an endeavor to gain their
support for the Ulster viewpoint.
No resumption of the formal ne
rotiations between the representa-
lives Of the British government and
the Sinn Fein will be attempted until
after the Ulster difficulty has been
overcome.
The report continues that should
the Ulsterites be unable to reconcile
their views with those of Mr.. Lloyd
George he will offer his resignation
as prime minister.
