MERGER

Unless there is some unex-
pected slip-up in the negotia-
tons, a merger of the local
traction companies, based on
the recommendations of DR..
Milo r. Maltbie, the Senate
District Committee's S special
expert. will be approved
during the present session of
Congress.
DR.. Maltbie is now negotiating
with the traction companies, under
authority granted him by the mer-
ger subcommittee of the District
Committee yesterday. to work cut
local traction lines.
He expects to complete these
negotiations within three days and
mittee at the end of that period
with a new plan.
Will Accept Terms
Although no statement has been
forthcoming from the representa-
tives of the compa nies, it is under
stood that they are ready to accept
the terms laid down for them by
the subcommittee yesterday.
The long discussed Wilson trar-
ton merger plan with its $50,O00,oOe
valuation feature has been junkeh.
In it's place there will emersn
from the present conferences
merger plan embodying no fixed
valuation, with provision for a
new and actual valuation after the
companies are merged and a
guarantee that there will be no
change IN fares until the new
valuation has been completed an1
can be used as a rate base.
The new agreement will DO
speedily approved by Congress, it
is believed. Senator Capper ex
poets no difficulty getting approval
from the Senate and the House
will of course. offer no opposition,
having been ready to approve the
Wilson plan with its S5O,0OO.O09
features.
Speedy Developments
Developments In the merger
negotiations have moved so fast
within the past week that even
those who have taken part in them
are astonished.
A week ago 1t seemed that a
merger at this session was an i'm
possibility because of the opposi-
ton of the Senate committee to the
Wilson plan and the apparent un.
Welding attitude Of the COMPANIES.
During this week, however, the
companies have evidently "about
faced" and are ready to grant al
most any CONCESSIONS that are nee.
essary to get a merger.
The first intimation that the at
titude had changed came last week
at a conference between Senator
A. II. Nanderburg of Michigan,
member of the subcommittee. and
Harley p. Wilson, merger negotiator.

HOPES DIM
! FOR NEW
LAW THIS
SESSION

Hope for enactment of pay
legislation amending the Welch
salary act during this session
of Congress was somewhat
dimmed today when the House
Civil Service Committee de-
cided to hold public hearings
on the pending bills.
The committee ordered public
hearings beginning next Wednesday
to consider five bills which have
been introduced so far this session
to amend the Welch act.
There Is no telling how long
these hearings will last and by the
time they are completed it probably
will be too late to enact any lesi3-
lation before the close of this short
session.
Representatives of the Federal
employees had hoped to avoid hear
ings and had contended that the
committee already had before it the
necessary data on which TO leSls-
late to correct the injustices Of the
Welch law.
Hearings To Be General
The House hearings will be very
general in their scope. Testimony
will be admitted for or against any
of the five pending bills.
These measures include the Lehl-
bach bill. the Brookhart Celler bill,
two bills introduced by Representa-.
tive Sirovich of New York. and an.
other introduced by Representative
Fish, also of New York.
The Lehlbach and Brookhart bills
are the most important. Any
recommendations which come from
the committee following the hear
ings will, undoubtedly. be based
upon one or both of these bills.
The Brookhart bill provides for
restoring the seventhsalary level
in the lower grades as was provided
for in the salary bill which passed
the Senate last year. This would
double the pay increase of all en-
ployes in the lower grades who got
only single increases from the
Welch act.
Clerks For BroOkhart BiIl
Government employees favor the
Brookhart bill and this measure
also has the support o. the Senate.
The Lehlbach bill wipes out the
interpretations of the 'Vel2h act by
Comptroller-Genera McCarl and
provides for anothe- pay increase
for a small proportion. of the clerks
in the lower grades. This bill
however, would result in pay cuts
for more than 1000 higher salalied
employees in Washington
The Fish bill would merely es-
tdhi:sh a minimum salary wage lr
the Government of $1,000 a year.
The two bills introduced by Siro-
Y.ch are very similar. They would
increase the salary Of lower paid
employees about $500 year.
A mass meeting OF Federal en-
ployes to protest against the Lehl-
bach revision of the Welch Act. is
to be held Monday night in the In
terror Department auditorium
This Is the opening .shot OF
campaign on behalf of the Fedora.
tion of Federal Employees to pre-
vent the wrong kind" of amend
ments to the law.
Workers E"hind Meeting
The local union of Treasury De.
partment workers is sponsoring the
mass meeting. Senator Brookhart
will address the assembla~e, and
others sympathetic to the Brook
hart plan" are expected to give their
views

The drastic local prohihi-
tion enforcement law proposed
by Major Edwin B. Hesse, SUI
perintendent of police, yeSter-
dav to the Gibson subcOmmit-
tee of the House, which would
make it a felony to purchase
liquor, has little chance of en-
actment, it was believed today.
The law which Hesse proposed is
probablv the most far-reaching and
drastic that has ever been proposed
to Congress even by the militant
drys.
Its Provisions
Its provisions follow:
/. Legislation amending the ma.
tional prohibition act so as to con
fer upon every member of the po
lice force the same measure OF
authority now vested in prohibition
enforcement officers. TAT present
this authority is held by only 3S
policemen.
.. Legislation placing in the hands
OF the police control over the free
dom and entry into all clubs.
whether incorporated or not.
3. Making the sale or possession
of illegal liquor a felony. this to
apply both to the one who makes
the sale and the one VINO makes
the purchase
4. That the possession of illegal
liquor shall be considered prima
facie evidence of guilt, and justifi-
cation for arrest and seizure.
Search Warrants
5. The right of the superintendent
of police or one of his assistants to
issue search warrants upon probable
cause that the law is being violated.
This now is done by the United
States Commissioner
6. The appointment of an addi-
tional judge and the necessary court
machinery for the exclusive trial
of cases where viola tionS OF the
national prohibition law are charged;
that there be inserted clause in
Creasing the penalty for first and
second offenseS for the illegal sale
of liquor. and that a time limit be
set for the trial of all cases after
presentation in court.

though opponents Of DR.. T. T.
Shields, chairman Of the board of
trustees Of Des Moines university,
refused to carry their fight against
him to the floor Of the Baptist Bible
Unions convention here, they hired
a hall Thursday night and told their
side Of the affair. They engaged the

at the university, and the Rev. Mi

board of trustees who is in sym

meeting which was marked by con-
siderable heckling and threat to
summon police and have some Of

Shields dismissed the faculty, in

failure to maintain discipline and
for what was called leanings toward
modernism.

to reopen the school, and it is
under that order that classes now

who attempted to ask questions
Fraser interrupted several times

DO YOU know that four students
were carried out of the dormitories

Il know of some cases that were
disciplined" Galloway replied, but
I hardly think it is fair to bring
that up in public. It doesn't do the
school any good"
do you know whether girl stu

dances?"
They we're not officially permitted
to go to dances" Galloway said.
But they did attend them any

COMMITS SUICIDE

Charles Greear, a member of the road crew at Sits camp at Mile 39, Valdez, committed suicide last week by shooting himself in the head with a g calibre rifle, death ensu- ing almost instantly, reports the Valdez Miner. An inquest was held and the jury returned a verdict of suicide while suffering temporary derangement. The deceased had suffered for a considerable time with aching teeth, and had ocm- plained that he was unable to sleep nights. He had been employed by the Road Commission for several seasons. He was a good workman and was universally liked by his fellows.
