the formation Of a distinct highway
plan III the neighborhood Of Ivy City.
Much benefit will accrue to the city
from the activities Of the committee
along these lines. Traffic is increasing
at rapid rate and the streets are
becoming seriously congested. Through
routes which will take the motorist
direct to his destination should be
opened up with all possible speed.
Even with its unusually wide streets
Washington has already outgrown the
available highway space. Whenever
il is feasible present streets should be
widened and in the construction of
new roads particular attention should
be paid to their width. In the suburban
districts. especially, il will be practical
to construct wide thoroughiares,
while in the city proper streets should
be widened wherever it is possible
without the destruction OF property.
Recommendations Of the committee
are made only after careful and inten-
sive study. 1t IS the hope Of every
resident of Washington that prompt
action on the proposed changes may

the board Of mediation, by arbitration
and by the Presidents emergency
board. There is, however, no provi-
sion in the new law for enforcement
Of any findings, and there is nothing
in the bill as it stands to show
what would happen in case the
last court of resort should fail to
bring about q settlement. The law
is framed upon the belief that out of
these four methods some way of ad.
justment is practically certain TO be
found
In one striking particular the new
law differs from the old. There is no
direction that the public shall be rep
resented on any board. The only stip-
ulation IS that the members of the
board OF mediation shall have no pc.
cuniary interest on either side. The
Railroad Labor Board, which will 60

The New Rail Labor Board.

BY striking but in no way a sig

terday passed without amendment a
House bill providing a better method
Of settling railroad labor disputes just
as the British general strike was
reaching it's conclusion by agreement.
BY a. vote Of SO to 13 this measure was
enacted and now merely awaits the
signature Of the President. It is de-
signed to permit railways and their
employees to settle disputes over wages
and working conditions by mutual
agreement. abolishing the Railroad
Labor Board created by an earlier ell
actment.
The bill that is now about to become
a law, assuming the Presidents sigma
ture, provides that railroads and en-
ployes shall establish adjustment
boards; that the President shall ap-
noint with Senate consent a board of
mediation Of five persons, none of
whom has a pecuniary interest on
either side, to intervene when the ad-
justment boards fail; that boards of
arbitration shall be created when both
parties consent to arbitration; that
when other methods fail the board of

who may appoint an emergency board

shall be no change In the conditions

Plans for relieving traffic congestion

park planning committee yesterday.
The committee members determined to
make q study and survey Of several
proposed highway extensions with a
view of eventually providing attrac-

ed arteries.
Extension Of Brentwood road north
east. from it's intersection with Rhode
Island avenue to connect with the T

thus relieving conditions on Rhode Is

to declare that Kidd was innocent.
that he was. in fact, framed by
groups of Britishers of the same gen

Whether the evidence adduced in

not, it is not likely his name will ever
cease to be synonymous for all that
is dark in piracy. 1t will continue to
remain convenient metaphor.
Such is our love for fairness. how
