on Matter.

The Senate District committee con-
sidered the nomination of Col Harri-
son Brand. jr.. for another term on the
Public Utilities Commission at an
executive session this afternoon. but
adjourned without being able to reach
a vote.
1t is understood that there was some
difference of opinion in the committee
on the Brand reappointment. II is
probable the committee will meet again
to further consider the case.
The special subcommittee. headed BY
Senator Jones of Washington, heard a
number of witnesses both for and
against Col. Brand yesterday afternoon,
but the subcommittee has not yet dis
closed its recommendation.
Most of the opposition to Col Brand
has been made by Mercer Johnston, di-
rector of the Peoples Legislative Service.
and by Representatives Of the Central
Labor Union.
Ralph B. Fleharty, peoples counsel
and Irving Fisher. secretary to the
Utilities Commission, were among those
who were closeted with the subcorn-

Traction Company and Union
Relations "Most Cordial"
in View of Goodman.

Reports that strike is imminent on
the lines of the Capital Traction Co.,
due to insistence of union workers that
higher wages be granted under new
agreement, were described as ridiculous
today by representatives of the traction
company and the union.
Asserting that relations with the
traction company have been most cor
dial" John II. Goodman, business agent
of the local union of the Amalgamated
Street and Electric Railway Employees
Of America, said the wage agreement
now in effect does not expire until
March 81 and that he anticipated no
difficulty in negotiating a new agree
ment.
This view also was held by Robert
Dugan. as spokesman for the traction
company. who said the company had
received no intimation that conditions
affecting the workers are unsatisfactory
and felt that new agreement regu-
lating wages and working conditions
may be arrived at tremendously.
Approximately thousand workers
are affected by the agreement now in
effect.
The Washington Railway & Electric
Co. is not affected.
