BAKERS STRIKE
MAY Be HALTED
RECONCILIATION,
Dept. of Labor Official, Rep
resenting Employers, Meets
Union Men Today.

Cancellation between the employing
bakers of the city and the Bakers
Union, in order to sidetrack a city
wide strike of more than 600 bakery
will be attempted today
when e. II. Dunnigan, conciliator for
the Department of Labor, will ad-
dress a meeting Of the Bakers Union
in Typographical Temple.
Mr.. Dunnigan has been empowered
by the employing bakers to state
their case to the union. The master
bakers ask Il reduction of 10 cents
per hour on day and night wage
scales, and establishment OF a per
hour working basis, instead OF the
existent eight-hour day. the changes
to become effective on Monday, when
the present wage agreement ends.
Both changes are opposed by he
union.
Unless Mr.. Dunnigan's efforts are
successful, the union will call q
strike at the meeting today, as the
sentiment of the union is so inclined.
While the employers contend that
the wages now paid are far in excess
of prewar wages, the union asserts
that present living conditions do not
warrant reductions.
Mr.. Dunnigan IL expected to ask
the union for further time for mu-
tual discussion of the varying de-
mands. A compromise reduction OF
cents an hour may be decided upon.
together with modification of the
per-hour rule. it has been pointed
out.

W.R.E.LOSES
ITS BATTLE On
BUS COMP ANY
Motor Lines Hero to Stay, Says
Utilities Commission, Dis
missing Protest.

Motor bus transportation has be-
come. an important question in the
District of Columbia. evidenced by
the fact that twenty.six different indi-
viduals and companies, using eighty
five vehicles, are now operating under
authority of the commission and that
there are pending five applications
for additional lines"
In this paragraph Of the decision
of the Public Utilities Commission
the protest OF the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Com
pany against the Washington Rapid
Transit Company. the commission
indicated that the motor bus Is to be
an important factor in transportation
in Washington.
"The commission believes that
motor bus lines may render service
to the public and that they should be
authorized whenever the public con-
venience and necessity justify" says
the decision, which was made public
today.
One.Man Cars.
The commission holds that the one
man street railway car. about which
there has been so much public
clamor." is safer and more convenient
than one-man motor busses.
. The street railway companies have
vigorously protested against motor
busses on the ground that they con-
stituted unfair competition. 1t was
pointed out that the bus lines pay no
tax on grouu profits and that they
are not required to pay for portion
OF the paving or for crossing poiicc,
as is required Of the traction lines.
TIE commission announces that Vt
is preparing for submission to Con-
gress a bill that would require the
transit company and others operating
bus lines to pay tax of per cent
on their gross earnings, as Ia required
Of the traction lines. The bill would
also relieve the street railways OF the
burden of paying for traffic police
men at crossings.
X. /. Line to Open May Is.
The Washington Rapid Transit
Company is required by the commits.
sion to begin operation Of busses on
it's Rhode Island avenue line not later
than May Is.
THE motor bus route involved in
this case" says the commission. will
furnish a direct service between
points in the District now reached
only by more circuitous street rail-
way lines and. when operated in con.
junction with the motor bus line OF
the same company, already author
lied to run on Massachusetts, avenue
from Union Station to Sheridan circle,
will provide a much-needed cross
town service between the cast and
west sections Of the city,"
