Wages paid the employees OF the
Capital Traction Company would have
to be materially reduced IL the Nc
KeIlar proposal to re-establish scent
fares, with six tickets for 25 cents
were put into effect. according to
letter received today by Senator Ball,
chairman of the District COMMITTEES.
from Vice President Hanna OF the
Capital Traction Company. The letter
was made public by Senator Ball.

come to q point where we could not
meet operating expenses and taxes,
unless the wages paid to our EN-.
ployes were materially decreased"
said Mr. Hanna In his letter, and
would make 1t impossible for US to
meet any interest charges or pay
any dividends.'
Average Wage in 1912.
Mr.. Hanna called attention to the
fact that in 1912 the average wage
paid trainmen was approximately
1912 cents per hour and in 1922 55.62
cents. adding that the wages of other
employees were increased in about the
same ratio during this period. in order
70 adjust wages to living costs. He
said that in 1912 the total wages paid
trainmen was S460,07039, and in 1922
S1,272,39s32, an increase of 1855 per
cent.
He said that this increase was made
up in part of increased rates Of
wages and in part by the increased
number of employees necessary to
furnish the increased service.
although the present rate of wage
paid by us is very much greater than
that paid ten years ago., said Mr..
Hanna, I'VE do not believe that il is
at all excessive. and are Of the
opinion that any reduction i'll wages
would result in dissatisfaction on the
part of our employees and a very much
inferior service TO the public.
I'VE do not believe that Congress
desires to place US in a position where
we would be forced to reduce wages,
default on interest charges and sus-
pend all dividends. This would be
the effect of the restoration OF the five
cent cash. six for % cents, fare on the
lines of this company.
capitalization Beside Question.
We would particularly call atten-
tion to the fact that any discussion of
the capitalization of this or any other
company has no bearing on the pres
ent fare situation.
The values of both street railway
companies have been found by the
Public Utilities Commission, and ex-
listing rates of fare were fixed by it
on the basis of those values"
Mr.. Hanna called attention to the
fact that the total operating revenues
in 1922 were 1904 per cent greater
than in 1912: that operating expenses
and taxes in 1922 were 1913 per cent
greater than in 1912: that operating
