TBIE'S

READY

The Senate District Com
mittee will be bombarded with
reports and suggestions on
the Wilson traction merger
plan within the next few days.
The first report is expected from
DR.. Milo r. MaItbie. the committees
special expert. who will submit his
rebuttal to the reply OF the COM

to fix a valuation of the properties
Of the companies.
Bureau Works on Answer
The Bureau of Efficiency is also
working on a rebuttal Of the same
kind. This probably will be sub
mitted either tomorrow or early
next week.
Meanwhile William NICK. Clay,
ton. chairman of the Public Utili-
ties Committee of the Federation

out a series of suggested changes
in the merger at the request OF
the committee.
He has announced that these
suggestions will provide for strik-
ing out the $50 900 valuation;
limiting the duration of the merger;
including the Potomac Electric
Power Company in the merger;
wording the agreement so that i'm
proved service is guaranteed: spe.

turn over to the new company the
81 ,000,0 900 depreciation reserves they

about Wednesday OF next week
BY that time they should be ready
to go ahead with the real negotia.
tions with view to working out

BROOKHART
MEASURE
STARTS
ROW


introduced in the House today by
Representative Celler Of New
York. Representative Celler made
a brief speech as he introduced the
bill urging his colleagues to act
promptly on the BrOOlkhart meas
sure, which he declared will allevi-
ate injustices among the rank and
file of Government clerks.
The Brookhart bill to amend
fhe Welch salary act struck a
snag today.
Representative Frederick r. Lehl
bach of New Jersey. chairman of
the House Civil Service Committee,
announced that he was opposed to
the Brookhart measure and ex-
pressed the opinion that President
Coolidge and the Budget Bureau will
also disapprove it..
THAT is the same proposal that
we turned down last year" Lehl-
bach said. It have not changed
my mind and ! don't believe that
the President and the Budget Blu.
reau have changed theirs.
Amendment Held Up
Lehlbach did not introduce his
own amendment to the Welch bill
today az expected. He said he has
not completed drafting his proposal,
but that 1t will be ready early next
week.
Meanwhile, he said, he will give
out no information about his amend
ment. He intimated that attem pts
to guess what his proposal will be
have been erroneous.
Lehlbach was very emphatic in
his stand on amendments to the
Welch bill introduced in tthe2 SeI,-
ate yesterday by Senator Smith w.
Brookhart of Iowa.
He said that the Iowan's proposal
would not correct the inequalities
resulting from the WEIGH act, even
if it were possible to get it enacted.
The Senate Civil Service Commit.
tee, however, is very likely to spon-
sor the Brookhart measure. Sena-
tor Dale of Vermont, chairman,
announced today that he will call a
meeting of the committee within
d few days.
If the Senate committee approves
Brookhart's bill it win result in
another head-on fight between the
House and Senate, similar to the
one of the last session which
resulted in the muddled Welch legis.
lafion.
The two houses seem to have
greatly different ideas of what
should be done to correct last years
legislation.
There will undoubtedly be, how
ever, many members of the House
who will support the Brookhart
bill. 1t is primarily designed to aid
the lower salaried employees. which
is 4 movement that has always
found favor among many members
of the lower chamber.

Czechs Meet Competition
 By Producing More Cars

Prague, Oct. s, (4p - CZecno-SlO- vakia, which is flooded with Amer ican cars, is not putting up tariff barriers to meet American compe- tition. She is modernizing her auto- mobile plants and putting in ne" machines which would produce 100 cars a day.
 Germany is the best customer Of Czecho- -Slovakia after the United States. Although duty on German cars is lower than that on Amer ican cars. yet American machines are in favor, not only because they sell cheaper but also of their en- durance power.
 Eighteen per cent of the cars imported this year are Americans as compared with 73 per cent last year. The falling off of imports is due to the great increase in do- nestle Czecho- -Slovak manufactur- ing production.
