Failure of "Juice" In
Cars Leads To
Strike Talk

Hundreds Of downtown workers
on their way to the days labor
via the Rhode Island avenue line
Of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company were fright
ening each other with stories of
strike possibilities when the troll
ley cars assumed an indolent gait,
buzzed feebly for a few yards
and stopped.
"It's the strike!" the unreason-
ing commuters gasped.
Then the conductors began
clicking the electric light switches
to prove that the cars were de-
prived Of power and, subse-
quently, motion.
For upward of fifteen min
utes, during which employees at
the Benning power plant busted
themselves to repair the ma
chipery, the passengers looked
nervously at their watches and
gazed wistfully at the stream Of
flivvers coursing easily over the
tarred road outside.
Confronted with horrible real
ity, the commuters abandoned
strike talk until the "juice" was
switched on again. Then the
tales Of walkouts opened afresh.

toward labor and people In II who
take a slant toward capital. The
man who appoints the wage board
can pack 1t for labor or pack 1t
for capital as he pleases.
In most countries Of the world
II has turned out that such boards
have been packed for capital. In
Russia they have it packed for
labor. In all countries their record
is that after brief period OF
laudatory publicity they encounter
lack of confidence and are unable
to cause their decisions to be NOR
ally respected and begin to be re-
vised and replaced by other meth
ods. This is happening now in
Russia and has happened drastieally
in Britain where the wartime ef.
fort to control labor by govern
mental edict has been thoroughly
abandoned.
It is believed by the best in
formed labor observers here that
the United States is bound to re-
peat the experience Of Europe and
is bound to discover that govern
mental edict as a solution OF the
problems of industry will have to
give way to the development OF an
Industrial system in which labor,
along with capital, will have Il d.

SEWER SYSTEM
MOVE LAUNCHED.
IN CLARENDON
Citizens Find New Law Makes
Easier Local Sani-
tation.

CLAREfDoN. Va. July l.
with a view to Fastening the de-
velopment OF Clarendon and its en-
virons, the Clarendon Citizens AS
sociation has launched n movement
toward the construction of adequate
water and sewerage facilities.
At a meeting held at the home
Of C. r. Taylor. president Of the
association, plans were drawn up
by members Of the water and sewer
committee of the organization.
which will be presented to the as
sociation for action at the next
meeting.
The work of constructing water
and sewerage systems Is made
much easier under the provision Of
the new sanitation bill passed at
the last session of the legislature
than under the provisions Of the
Jesse bill. which II supplanted.
Under the new law the county
is cut up into individual sanitation
districts. which embrace entire COM
munities as nearly as possible.
When the construction Of santa
ton systems is sought. citizens In
the district vote individually for a
bond issue. Under the former law
all persons In county district
were assessed even though the con-
struction was far removed from
those who were paying the bill. but
were receiving no aid. Citizens In
Ballston have begun a preliminary
move for the construction OF sewer
age lines.
Members Of the Clarendon water
and sewers committee were optt-
nlistic today over the advancement OF
construction plans, and declared tfat
matters would be in shape for vote
on a bond issue in the near future.
Mrs. John z. Nevin has been elect
ed noble grand Of the newly organ
lied lodge of Rebekahs. The new cr-
ganization will be officially known
as Clarendon Lodge, No. 2S. Other
officers who were elected follow:
Mrs. Lester Putnam, vice grani;
Miss Frances Kenyon, recording
secretary; Miss Grace Knoxson. II.
nahcial secretary, and Mrs. John j.

has announced that beginning next
week the hours for baby clinics will
be changed. In Clarendon the clinics
will be held on Tuesday and Thurs
day from 10 a. m. until noon and In
Cherrydale on Wednesday and Fri
day, also in the morning. 1t was de-
cided to make the change in order to
escape the heat OF afternoons, which
was found to be disagreeable TO both
mothers and infants. The schedule
of physicians who preside at the
clinics will remain the same as in
the past. =
