the Public Utilities Commission
has scheduled for October 16.
The commission announced that
the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company would be made a
party to the hearing and the COM
mission would investigate the earn.
inEs of both companies.
Figures being compiled by the
commission indicate that the earn
ings of both street car companies
have fallen off to less than the
earnings at the time of fixing the
present rate. The figures are fur
nished the commission by the COM
panies.
representatives Of the federation
insist that they have figures to
show that the Capital Traction
Company Is earning in excess of
what is declared a fair earning on
the valuation.
The determining factor will be
the question of whether the rates
for the companies shall be fixed

are crying for husbands and chill
