TRACK EXTENSION
PERMIT DUE SOON

When the Capital Traction Company
complies with certain legal require
ments. it will be given permission by
the War Department to extend its line
from NJ street across the new George
town bridge and construct a loop on
the U. S. reservation at Rosslyn, Va.
That action will be taken by Secre-
tary Weeks in accordance with the
recommendations of Gen. Beach. chief
of engineers of the Army. and of the
District Commissioners. as well on an
opinion rendered today by Gen. J. A.
Hull, judge advocate general of the
Army.
Because the act of May IS, 1916.
authorizing the construction of the
GEORGETOWN bridge specified that the
Washington and Old Dominion rail-
way be permitted to lay a double
company has since relinquished that
privilege, the chief law officer of the
War Department. was asked If the
Secretary of War could legally trans.
fer that privilege to the Capital
Traction Company.
replied In the Affirmative, on the gen.
eral ground that Congress intended
primarily that tracks should be laid
ON the bridge to aid public traffic.
The right to use the bridge in that
way is not taken away. the judge
advocate general says. by the action
Of the Washingtond and Old Do
minion Company in declining to con-
struct the track. He suggests that
the chief Of engineers obtain formal
release of that company's privileges
in the matter and that the applica-
tion Of the Capital Traction Company
be granted on such conditions as the
Secretary of War may deem just and
equitable"
In his report on the subject Gen.
Beach said that the extension. of the
Capital Traction Company's lines
across the bridge, as proposed, rs
regarded as Offering the best possible
solution of the street railway prob
,em at the brige, as 1t will relieve
congestion at the District of Colum-
bia approach by eliminating the

workmen engaged in clearing out
the interior of the photoplay house

The second. large turquoise. was
marred only by a cash down the

Aside from the two rings. other
articles, but of less value, were

Sparring for position and trying
to get the best bargain they can.
the various parties to the railroad
and coal strikes are convinced that
they must make peace soon or run
counter to drastic action by the fed
eral government.
The general opinion here is that
the coal strike will be settled. along
with the railroad strike, before many
days have elapsed. No such impress
sion of hopeless deadlock as usually
forecasts a long strike can be on
tanned by talking with any of the
nearness of an agreement in the rail
strike is such that the President has
hesitated to use federal troops lest
the situation may be aggravated and
peace prevented. The coal miners
are aching to modify their refusal OF
arbitration. and the government has
been trying ever since Saturday to
prevail upon the coal operators to
take the necessary action which will
make arbitration possible.
Would Lure Non-Union Men.
The single obstacle in the coal con-
troversy has been the division among
the operators. The miners, before
accepting arbitration, want to be con-
vinced that the decision will apply to
all coal operators. or at least SUBJ
stantial majority such as will fix a
scale for the industry. Because as
surances to this effect have been lack
ing the coal miners hesitate. They
are eager to have the arbitration COW
er non-union as well as union mines,
so that when the award is made the
non-union miners will see the bene-
fits Of the union and join it, thus
making q material increase in the
membership strength Of the miners
union for future bargaining. Many
of the coal operators who run nom
union mines refuse to come into the
fold and accept the Jurisdiction of the
tribunal. Efforts to get

Two policemen. Privates Ernes. c.
Spaulding and Charles E. Bremmer-

today on the charge of assault with
dangerous weapon as a result of the
arrest of Louis W. Moore, a young
Canadian student, two months ago.
1t is alleged that Moore was taken
from a Georgia avenue street car on
the night of May 2s and severely
beaten by the officers because he had
rebuked Spaulding for not giving his
seat to a lady.
Moore was acquitted in Police Court

According to the informa ton pre-
sented to the grand jury, Moore and

BULLETIN.
Intimat ton was given In well
informed EOvernme ntnl CIRCLES this
afternoon that the administration
was preparing TO tnke drastic ac-
tiOn within the next forty-eight
hours In the coal strike situation.
The President was represented as
being OF the opinion that inaxmuch
aS the miners Representatives had
refused government arbitration
and the bituminOus operators were
undecided on acceptance of such a
proposal that the interest OF the
public demanded Immediate re-
opening Of the mines.
With the operators Of both bituminous
and anthracite mines in continuous ses-
sion since early last night. the coal
strike situation today rested as it had
since Saturday afternoon. when the
President was advised that the United
Mine Workers had voted to reject the
government proposal for FILTRATION. In
dications were not lacking, however, that
the operators might seize the opportuni-
favor of the government arbitration
plan, although up to a late hour this
morning no vote had been taken and
the White House had not been advised
of the deliberations of the operators
committee. which met at the Washington
Ho;ei. 1t appeared probable that the re-
ply of the operators to the Presidents
plan would be at the White House be-
lore tonight.
Alfred NJ. Ogie. president of the
National Coal Association, chief
spokesman for the operators group.

almost an hour today. Neither would
make any comment on their discus-
sion, although OGle accompanied Sec-
rotary Mellon and William b. Field.
Il non-union operator of Pittsburgh,
to the Treasury Department after
leaving the White House.
While the operators were meeting
at the Washington Hotel the policy
committee of the United Mine Work
ers met again at Red cross head
quarters to discuss the letter of the
President further outlining the gov
ernment arbitration plan and to re-
ceive the report OF the committee
which transmitted the rejection of
the arbitration plan to the President
Saturday afternoon.
Sections of the operators group
were said to generally favor accept
ance of the government proposal,
while it was understood that several
Ohio operators and some from Penn
sylvania were against acceptance.
Secretary Davis would not comment
on the coal situation today. although
the Secretary was understood to have
information that the capacity ofunion
mines in the central competitive field
which would go back to work If a
plan were agreed upon for arbitration
would approximate 100000 tons.
At the Labor Department the hope
was also held out that the miners in
the central competitive field might
recede somewhat from their stand in
favor of a semi-national wages con-
ference, and meet the miners in few
district conferences to form q basis
for a larger meeting.
