PLEA FOR FARE RAISE
AWAITING ACTION
Utilities Commission Fails to Reach
Decision on Date for Capital
Traction Hearing.

After failing 70 reach a decision on
date for the hearing On the appfica-
ton Of the Capital Traction Co. for q
higher fare. the Public Utilities Com
mission marked time today. awaiting
another meeting Thursday. at which
time II hopes to fix the date and deter
mine several other questions connected
with the increased fare petition.
The commission considered the appli-
caticn at q meeting yesterday after
noon, but none Of the questions raised
was decided. Aside from the date, these
included whether a new valuation Of
the company's property should be made,
and whether the Washington Railway
and Electric Co. should be made an un-
willing party TO the fare increase ap-
pliestion
The Washington Railway 81 Electric
Co. has not asked for higher fares, and
the important question confronting the
commission is whether the existing UNI
form rate Of fares should be disturbed.
In 1919. when the Railway & Electric
Co. petitioned for an increased fare
without the support Of the Capital
Traction, the commission applied the
raise II granted TO both companies. This
precedent Is expected TO be used as a
guide In the solution Of the present
problem.

SEEKS LAW CHECK
ON us. employees
G. L. Cain Would Require Of
ficiaIs to Consider Charges
Against Workers.

Changes in existing law to require
Government officials to take some
action on charges when they are made
against employees under them were
urged upon the Senate civil service
committee today by George L. Cain.
The committee is inquiring into ap-
pointments and dismissals in the civil
service.
Mr.. Cain told the committee he ap-
peared as an individual outside the
Government service who had made
charges against certain employees In
the income tax unit and who declared
he had not been able to get the hiCher
officials of the Treasury to consider
them. He said he had found also that
the Civil Service Commission does not
nave SUFFICIENT authority under exist
ing law TO take up such charges. and
he recommended law that would re-
quire the heads Of departments to take
action within a specified time on
charges filed against workers in q de-
partment. Under his suggestion, il the
department head failed to consider tile
charges. the Civil Service Commission
then could do so.
He left with the committee a booklet
which, he said. contained the complaint
he had TO make. Senator George.
Democrat, OF Georgia, who was con-
ducting the hearing at the time, said
he would bring Mr.. Gains complaint &c

ment from 1918 to 1924 was let out
during q reduction in force. but was

tion for Workers Is Be-
ing Obtained.

Washington employers are responding
to the provisions of the new District

goes into effect on July /. 1t was said

of returns made by insurance concerns.
Walter w. Warwick. chief counsel of

row at 1880 o'clock on the working of
the new compensation measure.
The commission has authorized Is in
surance companies to write business
under the new law.
Some change in the method of doing
business in Washington, particularly
among small concerns. Is sensed by
commission officials. who say that the
compulsory insurance, with premiums
based on the hazard involved in the
employment, viii cause employers in
many cases TO sublet this work to OUT
siders rather than have to pay the
larger insurance by having their own
employees involved in that hazard. As
an example. the officials said that VIM
dow cleaning, which Is now done by
some janitors. viii likely be performed
by contract, so that the janitors viii
not come under the hazardous classi-
fication and higher insurance rates.
The question OF hazard came In
formally to the attention of the COM
mission officials. who said that the COM
mission probably will lay down the rule
that one engaged in hazardous occu-
patton viii have TO be insured by the
first insurance company TO which he
applies and the onus of refusing insur-
ance to Washington employer whose
workers are employed In highly hazard
Gus work likely will be placed on the
shoulders of the first insurance COM
