The War Department recently re-
fused to permit that company TO pulid
three-story brick and concrete
terminal station on the reservation
at the south end of the new bridge. on
the ground that it contemplated per-
manent occupation. The company mas
now submitted a new proposition in

lease it a small section of the reserva- :
tion for five years at rental based
on the value of the land. and permit
the erection thereon of temporary
terminal consisting of long one
story building of frame and Stucco

company cannot acquire private land
for the purpose, and that the location
of the terminal elsewhere than on the
reservation will not permit close con-
nection with the cars of the Capital

The railroad transportation situation
at Rosslyn which will follow the COM
pletion of the new Georgetown bridge
has been thoroughly discussed by Rep
resentative Moore Of Virginia, officials
and citizens of Arlington county and
railroad officials with Army engineers
and officials of the War Department.
General desire is expressed that an ar
rangement be effected by which close
passenger connection be made between
the Capital Traction and the Old Domin-
ion lines. In the absence Of any better
proposition it is said that the general
sentiment favors the establishment of
the Old Dominion terminal on the reser-
vation on one side Of the reservation
and the Virginia terminal
on the other, with the Capital Traction
loop between the two.
The bridge structure proper is prac-
ticaIly completed. The street car tracks

HOPE To END FORD
SHUTDOWN SOON BY
AGREEMENT ON PRICE
(Bv Associated Pressl

DETROIT, Sept 1S.-An Industrial
army of upward Of 100000 persons to-
day entered upon period of idleness
and the mammoth Ford Motor COM
pany plants were deserted except for
caretakers, for the first time in
months. This was the first working
day since the complete suspension of
operations due to the coal situation.
As many of the idle factory workers
were casting about for jobs to tide
them over, their employer, Henry
Ford, renewed his efforts to solve his
fuel problem. His task, Mr.. Ford
maintained, was to obtain fuel at what
he considered a reasonable price. To
accept coal at prices quoted him, Mr.
Ford previously had declared, would
be a submission to profiteers.''
No statement had been made by the
manufacturer today as to the prob
able duration of the suspension of
work at his plants but Edsel B. Ford.

cope that a way out of the fuel situa-
tion might soon be found
