NAVY YARD MEN

fishing Pickets.

The presence Of scores OF the dis.
charged employees OF the Washing
ton navy yard at the hearings on
changes proposed in the civil service
requirement act today gave rise to q
rumor around the Capitol that Con-
gress was being picketed by navy
yard workers.
Several hundred leaders among the
government employees attended the
hearing today before the House com.
mittee on reform in the civil service.
Three bills were under considerat ton,
one by Representatives Ten Eyck Of
New York. Fairfield Of Indiana and
Rosedale of New York. All Of these
bills provide for increasing the
amount Of retirement annuity and
further projections for the govern
ment workers in their contributions
to an insurance fund.
Authors Are Heard.
The authors Of the three bills were
the principal spokesmen, each Of
them impressine upon the commit
tee that the present act is made
ouate, was admittedly 50 upon its
passage, and that it has always been
the intention o. Congress to amend
the bill as practical operation shows
the necessity.
The furlough without pay for an
indefinite period Of a number Of men
in the navy yard who have passed
or are nearing the retirement age.
was emphasized as an illustration OF
certain amendments that are needed
to protect the veteran employees Of
the government.
Mr.. R0sedale's Bill.
Representative RossdaIe's bill
would set a minimum OF 3S60 and 4
maximum of $1,000. with employees to
receive 60 per cent of the salary on
retirement for the average yearly
salary during the last ten years of
service. 1t provides that a man
would be eligible for retirement whom
ne mad served thirty years.
The Fairfield bill. which has the
support particularly OF navy yard
employees. would increase the annuity
from s720 to $1,000, would make d
man eligible for retirement at sixty,
stresses the insurance feature and
makes provisions OF the proposed
amendments retroactive to 1920.

in This Plan.

When the Commissioners meet, with
In the next few days, to decide what
rates to nx for the street car compa-
nies after March /. 1t is indicated
that the zone system again will be
brought up.
1t was learned today that one mem
Der Of the commission is giving seri-
Gus thought to the advisabiiity of sug-
gesttng the Zone system to his col
leagues as a practical means Of giving
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company the income it needs without
continuing to swell the large earnings
of the Capital Traction Company.
10 Per Cent Unfair.
This Commissioner declared today
that it is manifestly unfair to allow
the Capital Traction Company to con-
tinue to earn 10 per cent on the value
Of its property with a rate of fare
that yields the Washington Railway
This is what would result from a con-
tinuation of the present uniform fare

each company. based on their re-
spectiye earning powers. Adoption
of this theory would necessttate
reduction in the rates Of the Capital
Increase OF fare on Washington Rail-
way and Electric cars.
Opposed to Two Fares.
This commission, like previous
boards. is believed to be opposed to
nf
pany. 1t 10 pointed out that low
rate on Capital Traction lines would
not only overcrowd those cars, but
would tend to make that company
earn as much, II not more, money by
taking riders from the other company
having q higher rate of fare.
Advocates OF the Iops system con-
tend that the Washington Railway
| and Electric can haul q passenger as
Company for an equal distance. but
that the Warrington Railway and
Electric earns less than the Capital
Traction because of its many long
suburban lines.
Would Permit Reduction.
A Zone system. one commissions
pointed out to day, would permit of a
Substantial reduction In fare on both
lines in the city proper, but would

whenever the gone system has been
proposed in the past the opposition to

ways been rejected on the ground
that the community as whole is
against It.
Col Keller stated at the close of the
street car hearing that il the zone
| system should come up in the discus
| sion of what the rate OF fare should
| be ample opportunity would be given
| the public to be heard.
| II, therefore, the commission gives
serious Thought to the zone plan
! when it takes up the rate question.
the supposition is that another hear
ing would be granted on this point.
Ten Days to Decide.
| The commission, however. has orly
ten working days in which to settle
the fare question, which makes II ex-
| trernely unlikely that a xone system
| could be adopted now.
The impression prevails at the Dis-
trict building that IL II is decided 70
