CAR FARES HERE
TO REMAIN SAME
Utilities Commission Consid.
ers Return Adequate De-
spite Loss in Revenues.

Indefinite continuance of the pres
ent rate of street car fares was in
dicated today as the result of study
of the financial condition of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company and the Capital Traction
Company by officials of the Public
Utilities Commission. Both traction
companies, according to the figures
of utilities commission experts, lost
almost 100000 revenue passengers
during the first six months of the
current calendar year, as compared
with the corresponding period of
1923, approximately 100000 in &C
tual cash.
The more prosperous of the two
companies-the Capital Traction
suffered the largest financial loss. II
carried 2,433,967 passengers less than
during the first six months of last
year The Washington Railway and
Electric Company carried 2,124.707
passengers less than during the first
six months of 1928.
Despite it's large loss in the total
number of passengers carried, the
Capital Traction Company, according
to the commissions accountants
earned a return of 7.23 per cent on
its valuation. The Washington Rail-
way and Electric Companys return
was 4.40 per cent, reduction of 0.6S
under the first siX-month period OF
1923.

The proposition is to replace the

railroads and Foreign Minister Strese-

The American Federation of Labor
Is not swallowing Senator Robert NJ.
La Toilette or radicalism.
Although an Endorsement has been
given the third party nominees as in
dividuals, the Federaitonist, official
organ of the American Federation
of Labor. will say in it's editorial in
the September number shortly to be
issued some important things which
cannot but be construed as a funda-
mental objection to certain princi-
pies for which La Toilette stands.
The American Federation of Labor
frankly disagrees with La Toilette on
the subject of trusts and monopolies
and Government ownership and de-
mands that the Sherman Antitrust
Law be repealed. The Federation
ist expresses a friendship for trusts
as means of conserving labor and
thinks the La Toilette program of
trying to cure monopoly by political
regulation is wrong
After reading the editorial, one
cannot help wonder how the Amer
lean Federation of Labor could in
dorse La Toilette at all. for a princi-
pie they are far apart. Would the
the FederationiSt says? Any one
who knows the Wisconsin leader can
answer the question by studying the
forthcoming editorial, which says in
part:
"Privately owned monopoly as a
political issue is bound to play a part
in the present political campaign. 1t
compels attention. directly or indi-
rectly, in the political platforms. The
Democratic party demands strict en-
forcement of the Sherman antitrust
law. The La Toilette platform calls
for use of the power of Government
to crush private monopoly rather than
foster it. The Republican platform
propounds the good old doctrine of
laissez faire, or leave things about
as they are.
NO political platform meets the
thought of labor on this great ques-
tion of monopoly. and labor, in con-
sidering platforms. could not and did
not make its analysis on that issue
alone. There are many issues but
this one is well worth special consid-
Grafton at the outset in order that
labor's future course may be as clear
as has been it's past record.
The American Federation of La Dor
