PROTEST

Dismissal of the Public
Utilities Commission hearing
on the Capital Traction Com
pany s application for an IN
creased fare was asked BY
Peoples Counsel Ralph B. Fle-
harty, at a stormy session OF
the hearing in the board room
of the District Building today
FIeharty based his motion on the
fact that statistics concerning the
operation Of the Washington Rail
way and Electric Company were be-
ing introduced. He declared that
the Washington Railway and Cleo
trio Company was not q party u
the proceedings and objected
strongly to any evidence tending 70
show that uniform rate Of rare
should be granted to the competing
traction companies.
w. n. r. Not Mentioned
The principal grounds for the me
ton to dismiss, F'leharty said, were
that the public had not been given
notice that the Washington Railway
and Electric Company was beIag
considered in any way. The formal
notice for the hearing, he showed,
indicated that the commission was
dealing only with the Capital Trar-
tion Company and its application Tor
fare increase.
al this ilIncture OF the proceed
incs. officials OF both, street car
syetems were on their feet with
objections to the motion, while Will
liam Nick. Clayton. citizens repre-
sentative. warmly supported Fje-
hartys contention.
william #. Ham. president Of the
Wreco, told the commission that
the interests OF the Washington
Railway and Electric Company arc
necessarily affected by any change
in the rates of the Capital Trac-
ton Company.
Past Action Challenged
He declared that ne had re-
cefved = today the first intimatIoI,
that the Public Utilities Commits
sion had been acting illegally N
the past, by allowing parties other
than those named in formal ap
plications for hearings to be ma lie
parties to the hearing.
He referred to earlier fare rae
cases in which his company WAS
the applicant and the Capital Trac-
ton Company was made a party 20
the petition by action of the com
mission.
Fleharty's answer to this argu-
ment was that in the previous
cases due notice had been given
the public as to the whole scope
of the hearings Representatives
OF both companies, however, ad-
vised the commission that they
wished to stand by presidents set
Participation demanded
Frank Shipe, counsel Of the fare
increase committee of the Washing
ton Board OF Trade, demanded that
the commission issue a mandatory
order making the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company formally
a party to the pOceedings. He sup
ported Fleharty's contention that
the commission cannot legally hear
evidence affecting the Washington
Railway and Electric Company until
such an order has been issued.
He said the Board OF Trade at
this time Is opposed to an increase
IN fare.
The commission decided to defer
action on the motion to dismiss Just
before adjourning the morning ses
sion.
