Japanese Beetles Among Pests
Which May Have Been
Freed on Monument Lot

An old jewel box full of lice.
malignant insects and Japanese
beetles is being sought by it's owner,
Paul Perez, of Stamford, Conn.,, who
lost the package yesterday on Mon
ument Lot
An advertisement inserted in all
of the Washington newspapers to-
cay warns the finder of the box
against opening it, as there are no
jewels. only the dangerous" bugs
which would do much harm to
Washington trees.
Perez, who is secretary of the
F. A. Bartlett Company, tree sur.
geons of Stamford, brought the in.
sect specimens to Washington with
him to have them fully identified
at the Department of Agriculture.
On his way from the Department
of Agriculture to the Navy Depart
ment, Perez paused to look at the
Monument and carelessly lost the
little package. He asks that If the
package is found he be notified at
the New Willard Hotel.

NAVY
Y'ARDPAY
CHANGE
Unions Oppose Scale Meeting.
Show No Reduction in
Cost of Living

Efforts are being made by vari-
Gus organizations to have the Navy
Department postpone the annual
wage adjustment meeting for the
navy yards, which is due to be
held next January.
The metal trades department
Of the American Federation of
Labor and District No. "A of the
machinists' organization, are OPP
posing the plan of converting the
wage board in 1925 on the ground
that an adjustment Of existing pay
scales is unnecessary.
Agreement Is Expected.
Admiral j. K. Robson, chief of
the Bureau of Steam Engineering
in the Navy Department. and other
officials shortly will be approached
with the, postponement proposal.
There Is reason for believing the
navy viii agree to it on the basis
advanced by the labor representa-
tives.
The wage board of the Washing.
ton Navy Yard is due to hold its
preliminary meeting on September
10. 1t is believed that Rear Admiral
Hutchinson. commandant of the
yard. will appoint Captains Foote
and Sterling. and Commander Smith
as the members of the board for
the coming year.
This board will make a prelimi.
narv investigation OF cost of living
conditions in Washington. and II
they have changed materially since
the last wage award was issued
they undoubtedly will recommend
that a readjustment be slated to
take place next January. The same
process will be followed at other
| navy yards.
Opposed By Labor.
The labor representatives believe.
however. that living conditions have
not shown any decisive fluctuations
| In the past year and that wage
hearings would not result In any
changes in the existing scales, which
were put into effect last October.
They point out that the collection
OF wage and cost of living data Is
matter of considerable expense
and that the present wage rates
are satisfactory to the bulk OF
navy yard employees.
The matter will not be decided
until after the appointment Of the
various local navy yard boards next
month, and until after a preliminary
survey of the situation is made BY
the Navy Department.

Leon Arnold Promises State
ment Monday on Future
Plans of Concern

Court action may be resorted
10 by the Washington Rapid Tram
sit Company to force the Public
Utilities Commission to grant a
10-cent bus fare.
Leon Arnold, president Of the
company, conferred with the COM
mission today. He was asked
whether the company would carry
tts fare fight to the courts.
To Make Statement
1T can't say today" he replied.
a but we must do something. / am
making no announcement ut this
time of our plans because / want
an opportunity to study the Fitua-
ton. We will issue statement
Monday" -
Mr.. Arnold spent half an hour
with the commission, explaining in
detail Just what position the cor
poration is now in, the commission
having denied the request for
ten.cent fare.
Commissioner J. Franklin Bell
Of Mr.. Arnold regarding the servic'
the company would furnish the pub
lie in the future.
THE fare question is settled with
u.s." he said. What we are now
interested in is service. Our con-
ference was taken UP largely with
the discussion of future service
plans of the company"
Bus Is Inspected.
A new bus, sample Of the
buses which the company planned
to purchase and operate If a high
err fare was granted, was brought
to the District building and inspect.
ed after the conference. The Com
missioners said they were pleased
with the company's new equipment.
However, company officials indi-
cate that they will not buy new
buses, contending the present fare
does not bring sufficient revenue
to warrant expenditure Of money
for new equipment.
Three times the company has
eoughtta 10-cent fare, and each time
has been denied. The Commission
granted an increase from cents
straight fare to three tickets for
rs cents, 10 cents a single fare.
The company's contentious as to
their earnings in the past seven
months vary widely from figures
of the commission, the company
stating 1t earned less than per
cent. The commission, however,
arrived a this figure after refusing
to consider as operating expenses
certain items totaling more than
$4,000.
If the company goes into court
it will probably contend the COM
mission erred in disallowing the
$1,000 from operating expenses. 1t
probably will state also that under
the public utilities law the commits
sion is not allowing them a just and
reasonable return on their invest.
