in the last few months, that sepa-
rate traffic court was Indispensable to
the proper administration of justice
to the rapidly growing army of traf1c
violators, and keen disappointment
was expressed when the committee
eliminated this provision.
The addition to the local courts,
however, will serve the same pur-
nose IL both of the new Judges are
assigned to traffic: if suitable hous-
ins. can be found in the present court
buildings: IL the judges sit at night
and adequate personnel is ADDED TO
the court for the transaction of the
larger volume of business.
Plan Traffic Assignments.
In regard to the first it seeps TO
be the plan of the committee that at
least two Judges will sit on traffic
cases and that court will be held
until IL o'clock at night. There has
been considerable doubt expressed by
court officials tl.sot room could be
found in the present building and
that in adding two judges Congress
would also provide for more court
assistants.
one official puts IL this way:
Congress proposes to add two judges
to this building where there is not
enough room to transact the business
we have now. Some way must be
found, if the new judges are provided.
to get large quarters and to get an
adequate corps to handle the con-
stantly increasing volume of business.
There has been a proposal advanced
10 divide one of the present court
jpt fIUD rooms ANYBODY who
takes the trouble to investigate will
see how impossible this plan is. If
Congress provides more judges il will
have to make the change a whole
sale one. New judges Will not help
matters much unless new quarters
and more assistants are provided"
New Assistants Probable.
This matter was brought up in the
committee, and it is thought proba Bile
that additional clerks will be recon-
mended. Housing was also discussed.
but it seemed to be the consensus
of opinion that the present building
would take care of the increase.
The committee should go further
into the matter before making def
mite the final bill. Court officials or
some one familiar with the situation
should be heard. so that the real facts
could be arrived at. Congress GER
tainly does not want to make changes
which will not relieve but aggravate
present conditions.
in regard to the arterial highways
system in the District, several mem
bers of the committee took occasion
to rap the alleged inactivity on the
part of the Engineer Department in
the creation of these streets. The
fact of the matter is that up until the
time the President signed the def
cheney bill there has been no money
available for this purpose.
To Visit Other Cities.
There is now $4,000 provided for
the establishment of these highways,

SCRANTON. Pa, December 20
Twelve thousand employees of the I.e-
high Valley Coal Co. who are to take
a vote next week on the question of
joining in a sympathy strike with
the $4,000 employees of the Pennsyl
vania Coal Co, who have been idle
three weeks, were warned by district
union leaders today that any such
action will be recognized as a viola
tion Of union laws and will be dealt
with accordingly
The district executive board in spe-
cial session here sent kilograms to
the IL local unions OF the Lehigh
Valley Coal Co, advising them to
live up to their contracts and not to
vote for a strike.
Report Due Next Week.
The commission named by President
John L. Lewis conferred with Rinaldo
Cappellini and board members today.

Lack OF Funds Hampers Work.
Is there any other city comparable
in size to Washington in the world
where in order to. get white lines
painted at crossWalks for the protec-
tton of pedestrians Il public spirited d
citizen must donate the money?
Is there any other city in the world
where the citizens must take up a
collection to send the head of the
traff1c squad to an important meeting
in another city, where he may learn
what has been accomplished in traffic
betterment?
There is not and there probably
never will be.
Better traffic laws Washington
must have to keep abreast of the
modern development, but in the
drafting of these laws a look under
the surface must be taken and there
will be seen the real reason for the
lack Of results, inadequate courts and
equipment, inadequate police and
equipment, and lastly, inadequate
laws.
Until this is recognized for the
basic and fundamental fact, 1t Is
obvious to all who have studied the
situation that there can be little i'm
provement in the traffic situation in
the National Capital.
