COOLIDGE SERENELY
ATTENDING TO DUTIES
Daily Routine Undisturbed by
Prospective Nomination by Cleve-
land G. o. P. Convention.

The fact that the Republican con-
vention, which is due to nominate him
for President, opened its session at
Cleveland today did not cause Presi-
dent Coolidge to alter his customary
daily routine. He took his usual
brisk walk about the downtown Sec
tion of the city after breakfast,
and was at his desk shortly after 8
o'clock.
The President today is devoting his
time principally to departmental mat
terS. although he expects to liSten-in
on the radio in his library this after
noon to obtain a closeup on the ma
tional convention. The President re-
ceived a number of kilograms from
political friends and lieutenants on
the scene of action, as well as sew
eral telephone messages. Communica-
ton back and forth from Cleveland
is being handled for the greater part
by Edward Clark. the Presidents per-
sonal secretary, who is occupying the
desk of c. Bascom Slemp, while the
latter is participating in the con-
vention.
The President met with his cabinet
today. but although the attendance
by Mr.. Coolidge since he has been
President-there being only Secretary
Hughes and Secretary Hoover present
the session lasted for an hour. With
only one or two exceptions all the other
members of the cabinet absent are in
Cleveland. Aside from his conference
with the two cabinet members and the
bi-weekly newspaper conference with
newspaper correspondents and
short talk with Commissioner Burke
of Indian affairs, President Coolidge
made no other engagements for to.

STREET CAR TRAFFIC
DROPS DURING MAY
Nearly Million Less Passengers
Carried Than During Same
Month Year Ago
INCREASE IN AUTOS BLAMED
$4,000 More Machines in Use
Now. Ham Says.

One of the heaviest monthly de-
creases in traffic yet recorded by the
local street railway companies oc-
CURED during May of this year, fig
ures obtained from the companies
today reveal.
The Washington Railway and Elec-
trlc Company reported that it car
ricd 440.342 fewer passengers in May
1924, than in the same month of 1928
The Capital Traction Company show
cd net falling off in passengers
last month of 543,447 from the num-
bcr transported in May. 1929.
The Washington Railway and Elec-
trio carried 6,747.199 riders in May,
1928, as compared with 6.306,s57 last
month. The comparable figures from
The Capital Traction Company were
orSl9,244 in 1923. and 5.775.797. This
was equivalent to percentage drop
of % per cent for the Washington
Railway and Electric and Sc per
cent for the Capital Traction Com
pdny.
Big IncreaSe of Autos
Nhlle street car traffic has been on
steady decline for some time. Will
l'am f. Ham, president of the W. r.
and E, attributes the May slump to an
unusual increase in automobiles this
spring together with rainy weather.
MIR. Ham quoted figures from the
police traffic bureau showing that
on April so, 1928 the District had is
sued 74.SO2 motor vehicle tags. On
the same date this year 67.674 tags
had been issued. But, during the
first four months of 1928 the District
had sold $4,000 tags to Maryland
motorists. while this year. with rec
Inroclty Marylanders are not buying

ance for this fact gives a net increase
Of 1000 in automobile tags issued.
Fewer Visitors.
Officials of the Capital Traction
Company attributed the big drop in
May traffic as compared with the
same month of 1923 partly to the
fact in the latter part of May year
ago hundreds of visitors were in
Washington for the Shrine conven-
ton.
This downward trend in car-rid-
ing is not the only factor worrying
of1lctalS Of the W. +. and +. at this
tlme. They also are somewhat con-
'cerned over the big street paving pro-
gram to be carried on by the munich
Pal government during the coming
fiscal year out of the gasoline tax
fund
Many of the highways authorized
by congress to be paved from the
gasoline tax have street car tracks
on them. and the companies are re-
qulred by law to keep the track
spaces in good condition.
Mr.. Ham estimated today il NAV
cost his company as much as S400. 900
II the company is required to rebuild
its tracks and pave the surface be-
tween the rails on all the streets
which the District plans to pave.
The president of the w. r. and z.
was not prepared today to predict
what effect this would have on the
Company's earnings. His only OBJ
Scrvation was that the street car
company must have the funds to do
its paving work just as the city must
wait until it gets money from Con-
greSS for the same purpose.

Historical Parallels.
The international labor holiday Of
May first had its origin in America.
The International Socialist Congress
in Paris in 1889 commemorated the
struggle for the eight-hour day in
America in the eighties by setting
aside May 1st as day which the
labor movement, triumphant over the
world, should celebrate as labor
holiday. Soviet Russia has declared
May 1st a legal holiday and the
celebration of every May 1st is equal
in grandeur to the celebration of the
Soviet Republic on November 7th.
Another Soviet legal holiday taken
from the calendar Of the Interna-
tional Socialist movement is the
Paris Commune Day, March 18th.
International Women's Day also
had its origin in America. Thru
the socialist party, some fifteen
years ago, it was accepted by the
international Socialist movement.
The Communist Party of Russia and
the Communist International have
perpetuated Women's Day.
