In the Oriental Building Association
Hall today it is understood that an
entirely new basis for agreement be-
tween master bakers and journeymen
was presented.

The same proposition from the Sec
rtary of Labr will be presented to
meeting of the journeymen bakers
tomorrow afternoon. In case they ac-
cept 1t, 1t is blieved that strike clouds
will drift away from the local labor
horizon. since a basis for amicable
discussion of the proposition will be
presented.

members of the union. the decrease is
illegal and refund will be sought at
the meeting tomorrow.

This wear and tear is shown to ex-
tend even to the big private office of
the President. which has been little
used during President Wilson's second
administration and which has not
been entered by him for more than
three years. But the big room has
been used to a considerable extent by
the Presidents secretary when meet
ing various delegations and individual
callers at the offices. 1t is in this room
that the famous carabao leather fur
niture stands, which many visitors ask
to be shown while visiting the ex-
ecutive offices. The furniture was
presented to President Taft by native
Filipinos.
To put the offices in proper condition
will take at least $4,000. it is estf-
mated, and with the $4,000 needed
for the residence the total special ap-
preparation to be asked of Congress
will therefore be in the neighborhood
of sS5 600. These estimates are being
prepared by the office of the public

PLANS TO EXPEDITE
FREIGHT DELIVERY
Committee of Federal High
way Council Favors Opera
ton by Railways.

Delivery of freight direct from rail-
road freight yards to the doors of the
consignees in Washington may be rec
commended within a few days to rail-
roads entering the city, it was an
nounced today by DR.. r. S. McElwee,
chairman of the store-door delivery
committee of the federal highway
council. DR.. McElwee is director of
the bureau OF foreign and domestic
commerce of the Department of Com
merce.
|. The store-door delivery committee
held a meeting in New York Tuesday y
and a resolution was adopted recon-
mending that the railroads entering
the large cities of the east. and par
ticularly Washington. to avoid con-
gestion and delay should be urged
to establish and operate a store door
collection and delivery system to be
performed by or under the control of
the carrier. the carrier to assume liza :
bility for the safe transfer by their
representatives. reasonable charge
to be assessed for such service
suKEestiOns Advanced.
A committee of five. of which Dr.
McElwee is one. was appointed to
take the matter up with the railroads
and with transportation companies
here. 1t was suggested that as far
as practicable existing trucking
facilities should be employed, under
the supervision of the railroads There
possible organizations to apply to
store-door delivery in Washington
were suggested as follows: To form a
truck company under the ownership
and control of the railroads; for the
carriers to form their own trucking
company. and to pool equipment and
operation of existing companies. by
contract or agreement. under central
ized control.
Dr. McElwee told the committee
that delivery direct from railroad
yards to the door Of the consignee
would result in saving of more
than a million dollars year in
trucking fees in Washington: that it
would result in more satisfactory
and quicker delivery and that as
a general proposition 1t would be
infinitely better, than ?, the. present
method OF delivery
Railroads Apprehensive.
Discussion at the meeting brought
oft the conclusion that railroads are
fearful or being responsible for the
actual delivery to store door and
wished their obligations to terminate
at their own platforms. They fear
cafrier perform this trucking serv-
ice free as part of the through rate
and the possibility of claims arising
from damage of pilferage beyond
the Jurisdiction and control of the
rail lines.
It was explained by John T. Stock
ton of Chicago. president Of truck
ing company. that in the service his
company performs the trucking COM
pany signs for the goods as the agent
Of the consignee at the rail platform
and the responsibility Of the carrier
ceases at that point.
