EARNINGS

Reducing Wages.

Washington probably will 90
through the year 1923 without a
change in car fare.
According to present indications
the fare of 8 cents, six tokens for
20 cents, is here to say good
many more months.
Earnings Drop Slightly.
It was pointed out today that
the condition Of the railway com.
panies, with respect to earnings.
had decreased slightly since the
present fare went into effect as a
result of reduced patronage. I'M
less there is a sudden change up
ward in revenues it is unlikely
that fares will change.
Neither of the companies, it is
said, has any intention at this time
Of decreasing salaries of employees.
thus eliminating the possibility
that with reduced wages the com.
panies might be able to stand rate
reductions.
Gas rates also appear due to
continue at $1.05 per l 900 feet to
consumers. With the existing high
prices of coal it seems that he
company will seek to continue the
rate indefinitely.
Telephone an Exception.
The only hope of a rate reduction
Of any kind lies with the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Com
pany. This company recently re-
duced the charges for unlimited
telephones and continued prosperity
next year may see a reduction in
limited services.
Bus fares of cents cash will
probably continue. The Washington
Rapid Transit Company does not
appear to be making a mint Of
money or making any profits which
might cause the Public Utilities
Commission to order a fare re-
duction.

Does Not Mean Let-up on

Although the spirit of Christmas
resulted in the District Commission.

ers' policy Of revoking licenses Of
persons convicted of driving a ma.
chine while drunk will continue.
Commissioner James F.. Oyster, in
charge of police. said today that
those who had got their permits
back had been given a lesson.
However, I don't want 1t to ap
pear that the Commissioners intend
to let UP in the revocation Of per.
mits," said the Commissioner Per.
sons who at the risk Of the lives
Of citizens drive an automobile while
intoxicated will receive no considera-
tion from the Commissioners Their
permits will he revoked upon con-
viction, and this revocation will be
for an indefinite period"
Capt. Oyster pointed out that at
the Commissioners meeting on Sat.
urday the Commissioners refused to
restore permits to a number of per.
sons.
I'm several cases the records of
men show that they were fragrant
violators of the law, some of them
having been convicted twice for
driving under the influence Of liquor
he said. I'VE turned down the rec.
concentrations that these men ge,
their permits back.
II don't know of anything more
dangerous than drunken man
driving an automobile through the
city streets. He not only endangers
his own life but the life of every
person who comes in his way"
The Commissioner said that most
of the thirty-four who got their per.
mits back had been deprived OF
them for more than six months
Additional permits will be given

Reorganization of the prohibi,
ton unit will begin on New Year
Day, with appointments, disrnis-
sails and transfers in the official
ranks Of the dry force throughout
he United States. -
The national shake-up is an i'm,
portant feature of Federal Pro-
hibition Commissioner Roy A.
Haynes program for 1923, and
is the first to be put into oper-'
alton.
To Add to Drug Agents. =, 7.;.
For more effective campaigning
against the drug traffic; it is likely
that numerous agents may ?; be
changed to the narcotics division.
No active agents will be dropped
from the rolls. ..sT
Commissioner Haynes will ap-
point a new director in Texas. the
position left vacant by recent resig-
nation. Several States where act.
ing directors now function will be
affected, either by appointment OF
directors from outside the present
force or by promotion Of the pres.
ent State heads. These States are
Montana, Illinois. Wisconsin, Rhode
Island. New York, Louisiana and
New Jersey. .... ---.L,
f. c. Yellowley, former chief OF
general agents, who succeeded Di;
rector Day as acting head OF the
New York force, probably will be
named director. --..: ..r.,5I.
The Illinois dictatorship was left,
vacant by the resignation. of Dtrec-
tor Gregory. and in this case Com
missioner Haynes will defer appoint
ment of a director until the return
of Senator Medill Mccormick from
Europe. An official squabble, into
which the White House was brought,
prevented action on the appointment
until Senator McCormick's arrival
here.
A further change in Illinois. invoi.
wing a group head, will be made this
New Years Day appointment. '.7:
Similar action is predicted in
Massachusetts, although this oase
may be left over until the first week
of the New Year.
The division of general agents with
jurisdiction over the District Of Co.
lumbia will be left unchanged. Com
missioner Haynes and other officials
are satisfied with the work accom-
plished here by Chief Of Agents
Edgar n. Read, who has under con.
sideration a plan for the total elirni-
nation of bootleg liquor from Wash:
ington.
Police to Cooperate.
Coincident with the changes in the
ranks of the prohibition force, police
departments throughout the country
will be advised on New Years Day
of the altered relations between
themselves and prohibition agents.
President Harding has sanctioned
Commissioner Haynes idea of let.
ting the municipal and State police
forces conduct raids ana enforce the
Volstead law in similar minor re-
spects, leaving the agents free for
work on a larger scale.
This is the message which will
go forth to police departments, and
in practically every case, including
the District of Columbia force,
police authorities have expressed
their willingness to cooperate in
the new plan.
