Committee Resumes Work on

Plan Protest.

The naming of thirteen down
town thoroughfares as permanent
one-way streets, effective today, is
only forerunner in traffic plans
of the District Commissioners.
More one-way streets will be Sc
lected and a drastic no-parking
rule will be adopted in the near
future, it is said.
Committee Resumes Work.
The special traffic committee,
named many months ago by the
District Commissioners, will re-
sumo it's work today. Its initial
ditions with regard TO the necessity
of no parking regulations.
Commissioner James F. Oyster,
in charge of the police. is known
to favor drastic no-parking rules
for downtown Washington.
He believes that no parking
should be permitted on streets on
which car tracks run, and that on
other streets all parking should be
parallel to the curb.
Parking Of cars at an angle
cuts over nearly one-half OF the
Streets" he declared. IT do not
think it should be permitted
The police department viii make
! no arrests today of persons who
violate the new one-way street
rules. Under the law, the Com
missioners must give thirty days
notice before enforcing any regu-
lations.
The Commissioners are depending
upon the cooperation of the pub
lie for observance of the new rules.
After the thirty days are up, q
campaign of strict enforcement will
be launched.
Merchants To Discuss Rule.
Five hundred prominent Wash
| ington business men who have eS-
adjustments on the newly desig-
mated lone way streets will gather
| in the ballroom of the Willard Hotel
Wednesday morning at II o'clock to
| discuss how their business has been
| affected by this latest traffic regu-
| lation.
Charles J. Columbus, secretary OF
the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association, who calls the meeting.
said today that each merchant will
tell his individual story.
1t is said that some of the mer.
chants contend their business will
not survive as long as the lone.
way" streets are in effect. Others,
1t is said, are ready to testify that
their business has been cut SO per
cent due to the lone way" regUla-
| ton.
The business men, it is under
stood, are ready to agree that the
"one way" streets must continue in
| operation despite their effect on
business if they are necessary to the
publc's interest, but they appear to
be of the uniform opinion that with
adequate police protection there is
absolutely no need for the newly
designated zone way" thoroughfares.
The District Commissioners will
not be present at the gathering on
! Wednesday, but a stenographic re-
port of the meeting will be taken
| and submitted to the city heads for
their consideration.

STAR IS ON
HEARINGS
TODAY
Departmental Board Likely to
Approve S Cents Raise. :
Unions Seek More.

The Naval Departmental Board
opened its consideration today of
the wage award for machinista
and other craftsmen recently
handed down by the local board
at the Washington navy yard. :
Approval Is Expected.
Although it is probable the award
will be approved, according to navy
officials, the representatives of Dis
trict No. A, International Associa-
ton of Machinists, will make q
vigorous protest against it at the
hearing to be held tomorrow. Among
those who will appear before the
board are n. p. Atlas, Robert Jans
sen. j. J. Noonan, and Felix L.icar-
lone.
Before the Naval Departmaentai
Board are the findings affecting
not only the unionized workers in
the Washington Navy Yard, but
those of the Norfolk, Boston, New
York and other yards. The ms
chinists today held a conferences
for the purpose Of analyzing the
awards brought in relating to yards
by the local boards, SO that in
equalfties and discrepancies can be
yet forth in the presentation to the
department board tomorrow.
Will Contest Claims.
The average increase grated the
local workers was approximately
5 cents per hour, and in the re-
port of the navy yard board to the
departmental board was defended
on the ground that it represents
the wage paid by private employers
for similar work in the city.
This claim will be contested by
the machinists, who are seeking an
increase of approximately 90 cents
an hour. Final action by the de-
partmental board will have to be
taken in advance of July 1, when
the new fiscal year opens.
