"Under the act of last year discretion
ary power in this regard was vested IN
the commission. 1t was also intended
that changes OF rates in any Instance
would be permitted only to meet emer-
gencies under the operation of the plan
of adjustment itself 1t was further
provided that such changes should be
in the discretion of the commission, and
that IL granted they should be upon
such terms. conditions or safeguards as
the commission may prescribe In the
Judgment OF the commission this protec-
ton is ample, but it prefers that no
doubt exist as to whether the COM
panes might or might not gain any
right they have not previously had or
that is not wholly incidental to the re-
organization plan.
Certain new material is added to the
act prescribing in greater detail the
manner in which the proposed board OF
transit control shall be organized and
defining its powers. Briefly stated, in
stead of creating the holding company
called Company A under the proposed
plan and then having % separate board
Of control to govern it and supervise the
subsidiary companies. it is proposed to
have the board of control made body
polite and corporate with authority to
issue bonds. hold stool. and securities in
all subsidiary companies and exercise
general supervision and control in the
manner TO be fixed by the terms OF the
final plan, this body also to constitute

the plan and to get the plan practically
launched it is provided that the mem
bers OF the present Transi. Commits

year of operation.
''Tnis amendment authorizas and ie-
galizes such features OF the proposed
Plan as give the commission the power
to organize the various cperasing COM
panies, to permit their organization
with n nominal capital stock ard, more
specifically. to name the directors of the
operating companies to be ;hCsen by
hondholders and others than stock
holders. The amendment also provides
for the detailed mechanism ',n incor-
porating these companies, ro,!cwing in
general the provisions OF taa railroad
law"
Senator William r. Simpson, of Brook
lyn and Assemblyman George IL. Jesse
of New York, who handled She transit
bill last year, will have charge OF the
amendments in the two hoIses. The
proposals will be presented in +ie form

was 10 name.
With the final power to select the sew
enth member resting In the hands OF the
Transit Commission, that body for a
year at least, viii have an assured con-
troll, with four OF the seven board MEM
bers. Such a constitution of the pro-
posed Board OF Transit Control. with
the adoption of the amendment, will be-
come a statutory provision of the tram
sit act
Still another proposed amendment is
framed admittedly to meet the threat Of
serious impairment OF service in the pos
sible event Of divorce between the In
terborough Rapid Transit Company and
the Manhattan Elevated Railway. So
long as the Interborough operates the
Manhattan IL" under the present lease
it must pay to the Manhattan $2,40O,00O
year which is the annual interest
upon $50. 600, 900 capitalization at per
cent interest rate. This has been a
heavy drain upon the impaired resources
of the Interborough Rapid Transit.
In either event, 1t has been held. the
city would suffer intellectually, as the
Manhattan wotfld no longer operate
through service over the extensions now
of the Interborough. That this divorce
ment might occur has been potent
threat used by the Interborough when
ever receivership appeared an imminent
possibility, or as often as the Transit
Commission contemplated the issuance
of service betterTnent orders, including
more frequent subway trains. the added
cost of which would cut down materiel-
ly the Interboroughs net operative re-
ceipts.
If the present amendment be passed
the Interborough no longer may hold
that club over the commission and the
public. for, as Mir. McAneny expressed
it to-day: This amendment enables
the commission to deal with the pos
sibility of service broken or discon-
tinued on any parts OF the line Of the
Manhattan elevated in the event of the
termination of its lease to the Inter
borough Company. The amendment
gives TO the commission power to COM
pei continued through operation over
all existing lines. 1t broadens the power
now held in common by the Public
Service Commission and the Transit
Commission, and under certain condi-
tons to require the interchange of rail-
wav facilities for a common fare"
Commenting upon the purport of the
other three amendments offered Mr..
McAneny said: The general provisions
of the act OF last year with relation to
rate fixing are amended so as to pro-
vide that the right. in any contingency
to change or authorize a change in the
rate Of fare hitherto fixed either by con-

SENATOR CALDER WINS
WOMAN'S DAMAGE SUIT
Mrs. Fishkin Fell and Lost
Diamonds in q NeU House.

William NJ. Calder, United States Sem
ator. appeared in the Supreme Court in
The Bronx yesterday TO testify IN de-
fense of the William NJ. Calder Com
pany Inc, in a damage suit begun by
Mrs. Eella Fishkn OF 654 Beck street.
Mrs. Fishkin testified that she was in
specting house erected by the calder
company at Eleventh avenue and Six
teenth street. Brooklyn on September
81 1919. when she tripped and fell from
the second TO the first floor.
She sought to recover for injuries al
legged to have been suffered in the fall
and for the loss of two diamonds thai
were knocked from their settings in u
ring and lost when she fell.

the time Of the accident. He said 1t was

the court added. ''in maintaining an
adequate national railway system"
The challenge TO the suffrage amend
ment came from Maryland, where Oscar
Leser and others sought to prevent the
registration of two women as qualified
voters in Baltimore. Lesser and his
associates contended that the constitu-
ton of Maryland limited suffrage TO
men; that the Legislature Of Maryland
had refused to ratify the woman's sHf-
frage amendment, and that the amend
rnent had not become part OF the
Federal Constitution the Maryland
State courts sustained the amendment.
The court announced in disposing OF
the case. which had been brought on
appeal on a writ OF error, that II
granted the petition OF the parties for
a writ of error that it granted the
petition of the parties for writ OF
certiorari, but the decision to-day so
thoroughly disposed of the objections
urged. there seemed In the opinion of
court officials no probability that any
argument could be presented which
would cause the court to change its
views
Another attack upon women's suf-
frage was disposed of by the court
to-day in an opinion handed down by
Justice Brandeis 1t came from the
courts of the District OF Columbia. and
was brought by Charles S. Fairchild OF
New York. who sought to compel the
withdrawal of the ratification proclama-
ton. Justice Brandeis stated that the
case must be dismissed oecause Fair
child had no standing which warranted
him in bringing such a suit.

SHIP SUBSIDY MAY BE DROPPED
Senate Leaders Decide Farm Relief
Legislation 10 More Important

The ship subsidy bill will be dropped
by the senate in favor Of farm relief
Legislation within a week, according
to a recent announcement by demo-
cratic leaders and republican insurg-
ents.
A poll Of the upper house conducted
by the insurgents shows fifty votes
favorable to displacing the shipping
measure with farm credits legisla-
tion, it is maintained.
That number would give the insurg-
ents against the Harding program a
majority Of two.
This plan Of action has been ad-
vanced to relieve the strained situa-
ton which developed as result Of
pressure brought on congress for i'm
mediate farm relief and for some sort
Of action on the subsidy. The policy
of resistance adopted by opponents
Of the subsidy would only tie up con-
gress indefinitely, it is contended. An
extra session might be forced after
March and both republicans and
democrats maintain ''the country has
had enough Of congress for while."
At any rate the farm program
would be disastrously delayed. f-
It is learned that Friday or Satur-
day it is proposed to make a motion
to lay aside the subsidy. If the in
surgents have the fifty votes they
claim, they can set the subsidy on the
shelf and proceed with the other
measures.
President Harding, however, feels
that it is the obligation Of congress-
to come to some conclusion on the ship
subsidy legislation, without dilatory
tactics.
"A movement in the senate which
has for it's purpose the superceding
Of the marine bill by the measures for
farm relief is making itself more
and more apparent.
