Most Practicable Plan.


1t is his conviction. however, that
the sum total of these economies
would not make possible as consld-
cradle a reduction in car fare as
would a merger of the Potomac Elec-
i trio Power Company and the Wash
| ing Railway and Electric Company
on the basis of 10 cent electric
charge.
Furthermore. he anticipates legis-
lation can be had at this session Of
Congress authorizing the consolida-
| ton of these companies. already
practically one. whereas the diff
culties in the way of forcing a
merger of the street car companies.
| owned by different interests. are so
great that even Congress may find
! itself unable to work out the prob
! lem.
! Considering that a traction merger
! is not probability within the near
| future and that even if accomplished
| its effect in reducing car fares might
| fall below the pubIic's expectations,
Commissioner oyster takes the posi-
| ton that the public will benefit most
| by plan that can be made to lower
| car fares within few weeks.
Car Fare Hits Average Man.
| He believes the average citizen
would prefer to pay 10 cents for the
| electricity he uses. which is the price
' he has paid for long time, and have
/ N
to pay Sig cents for electricity and
have the present Scent car fare order
/ continued.
| If the voluntary merger conferences
| fail TO produce an agreement and the
compromise plan Capt oyster has in
| this week, will find itself in sole pos
| session of the field so far as RESPONSE
| bility for initiating traction relief
measures is concerned.
1t is agreed generally that if the
merger question goes to Congress but
two avenues of action will be open
to that body. 1t may decide in favor
,of government ownership of the trac-
tion lines or it may adopt punitiv.
measures laying such heavy penalties
upon the companies that they would
face the alternatives of combining o;
going into bankruptcy.
Prospect Of Litigation.
Action along the latter lines would
be almost certain to be resisted by
the companies on constitutional
grounds. 1t would involve long
tying up of the whole question in the
courts Meanwhile. WashinGtonians
would be without the relief sought
Through merger.
1t is to avoid just such con-
,tingency that Commissioner Oyster
has decided that the plan 10 restore tbs
ieIectric light rate to 10 cents and per.

companies to consolidate offers the
,speediest and most practical solution
of the problem.
The Commissioner has asked Repre-
sentative Zihlman, chairman of thu

Grafton OF the street railway question
iuntil Thursday. The request which

Department last night that Gen. Read
had decided to send federal troops into
the Mingo country. 1t was announced
by Secretary Weeks that authority had
been conferred on Gen. Read empower
ing him to send men there if he decided
they were needed. Such action would
not necessarily be followed by a procla-
nation of martial law, officers said.
Should Gen. Read decide to move troops
