INSISTS ON TRIAL
OF NEW BUS FARES
Utilities Body Insists on Learning
Effect Before Reopening
i Decision.

The Public Utilities Commission will
not reopen its decision increasing the
rate of fare on the buses of the
Washington Rapid Transit Company
until the effect of the new rate has
been observed in operation for two
or three months.
This was practically decided today
when the commission considered the
petition filed yesterday, in which the
company asked that the new rate be
not put into effect and that the case
be reheard.
The company asked for an increase
IN fare from S toto cents cash. The
commission made the cash fare 10
cents, but ordered the sale, of tokens
a three for 25' cents which amounts
to 1-3 cents per ride.
The company contends this will not
enable il to buy the new busses that
will be needed during 1924 and leave
reasonable return. The enactment
OF the gasoline tax on automo biies
also has added about S., 900 to the bus
companyS expense account.
One member of the board explained
today that the commission has no de-
sire to fix unfair rates, but feels
that the new fare should be given a
trial

compelled to refrain from gainful oc-
cupation, which is technically labor,
without upsetting the entire eco
nomic. industrial and educational sys-
tenn Of the country.
For children below sixteen, a
sound argument for keeping them
from gainful occupation, which may
very probably have injurious physical
and mental effects. can be made out;
but for youths above sixteen ehis
cannot be done. 1t is Just at this
time that vast najority of our young
people are laying the foundations for
their future usefulness and beginning
to contribute to the support of the
families to which they belong, as we'll
as lay up something for themselves
Might Induce Lying.
The notion that every boy and
every girl should be kept in school
or college until eighteen has nothing
TO commend it but sheer sentimen-
tality. For those whom this regime
suits it is the best possible. For
those whom it does not suit it is
harmful. If the proposed amendment
could be submitted with the age fixed
at sixteen, and were adopted i'll that
form, il would at least be an enforce
able provision of law, and one which
would, by the nature OF the case, Sc
cure large measure OF willing obe-
dience. IL the age be fixed at eigh-
teen. children and their parents will
lie about their ages, and 1t will not
be long before in the statistics of our
population there will be practically
no individuals who are not either
below. sixteen or above eighteen"
The movement for a federal child
labor amendment has developed since
Supreme Court decisions declaring
unconstitutional the two federal
child labor laws passed by Congress
in 1916 and 1919. The amendments
now pending in Congress would give
Congress the power TO pass a child
labor law which il now lacks. The
amendment itself is not a law. II
neither prohibits nor regulates child
labor in any way, leaving Congress
free to decide upon reasonable regu-
