mittee of Weakening
Influences.

tives was charged with backing an
open shop, anti-union movement by
w. Jett Lauck, economist. represent
ing railroad labor organizations. in

terstate commerce committee.
Mr.. Lauck declared that Vice Presi-
dent Atterbury of the Pennsylvania
railroad fostered and was leading.
as the chairman Of the railway execu-
tives' labor committee, the fight
against unionism.
1T is designed to weaken the older
railroad labor organisations" said
Mr.. Lauck. "and to break up the new
labor organizations which grew up
under the favoring auspices Of federal
control of the railroads"
The witness asserted the anti-union
policy caused Carl Gray, president of
the Union Pacific railroad, to resign
as chairman of the executives labor
committee and to be succeeded by Mr..

SUGGESTS WORK AT NIGHT
ON CAR TRACK REPAIRS
Gen. Stephan, Head Of M. and NJ.
Association, Says Day Traffic In
terruption Might Be Avoided.

in the downtown districts OF the city
was suggested today by Gen. Anton
Stephan, president of Merchants and
Manufacturers Association, in q let.
ter to William F. Ham. president of
the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company.
In his letter Gen. Stephan points out
that with the large volumn of travel
on the streets, especially G street.
where repair work on the trackage
is now going on. day work seriously
interferes with traffic
The letter follows:
while I note with great satisfac-
ton the improved trackage that your
the downtown section, permit me to
make recommendation that the
work be carried on outside Of busi-
ness hours.
'.The big volume of business in the
downtown section. with the incident
movement OF great numbers Of indi-
viduals and vehicles. makes it almost
mandatory.
"Even though the cost Of the work
daytime. 1t certainly seems as IL the
public interest would demand it.
Great as is the necessity for the
improvements that your company and
the Capital Traction have and are in
stituting in the downtown section. 1t
could be best expedited by carrying
on the work when the men would be
free from Interruptions such as is Ger
tainly not the case during business
hours.
Trusting that your company can
find it convenient to do this and 1
believe thereby expedite the opera
ton, believe me"
