Electric Light Returns Are
Excessive, Unreasonable

The Public Utilities Commission although finding that the
rate Of return Of the Potomac Electric Power Company for
1880 excessive and unreasonable proceeded to fix
electric light rates for this year in accordance with the
sent decree that permits this excessive return.
Having done this that the people Of Washington may at
get the benefits they entitled from the consent
agreement the Commission notice that it will take
steps to obtain for the public still better share Of the
perity Of the electric light company.
It preposerous to suppose that the existing consent de-
cannot be changed by agreement, the commits
sion wishes continue that form of arrangement quite salts
factory except that the public has had the decidedly small
end Of the very advantageous bargain made by the electric
light company
Notice is served that the "Pepco officials do agree
fairer arrangement the p u O. will begin valuation
proceedingS within its powers these to be followed by the
fixing Of such rates the commission believes to be
fair and just to the company and to the public This would
end the existing agreement.
The Times first bring this matter to issue and
Joined by Peoples Counsel Keech and W. NICK Clayton,

the following incident give you
the answer?
The horn on my car wouldn't
work so I waited in the garage
while they tinkered with it.
Fascinating big caverns-ga-
RACES. The huge cars; herded in
the shadows-the Splatter Of
oily light on their great bumped
backs-that animal stencil of
oil and heated steel-the sudden
bleat and squeal and roar Of
machinery. The young men
scurrying suddenly, in and out
of the shadows, prodding, push
ing the big black brutes-
grooming them like mahouts.
The Whistle Blows
While I waited I gossiped
with the boss. Five o'clock blew.
Whereupon, Of course, every
man there made for the street
door in three jumps. One Of
them-a youngster Of 20
brushed past us. Directly across
his path lay fine wrench. But
what was a wrench with some
Maybelle or Lucille waiting
around the corner? With a flip,
his trained toe sent it flying
under the machine, and he
was off.
"And then they wonder why
they don't get q raise" said
the boss, picking 1t UP.
whats q wrench to them?
They didn't buy it. They didn't
drop it there. They aren't paid
to pick that particular wrench
up. Then, why should they
bother to put 1t in the tool
room? That's the way they
reason.

For Payment Of

Editor, Times:
I am one Of many disabled

know what is to be done with
the adjusted compensation GER
tificates. I have read a num-
Der of the proposed bills by diff
ferent Congressman and think
the Putnam Bill the most
logical
I have been an invalid since
the war, the past 18 months
bed-ridden. Payment of the
Tombstone BonuS," now, would
certainly relieve me of many
worries and give me COM
forts. I cannot have now. What
good will this money be to me
Is years hence? Now Is the
time that I need it. I have bor-
rowed to the limit on the GER
tificate and paying interest on
money I consider my own.
Either pay the certificates up
or stop loans on them. This is
the sentiment Of all "buddies"
I have kept in touch with, who
served with me in France.
Secretary Mellon seems always
to frown on any proposed aid
for veterans.
There seems no better time
than the present to come to
the aid Of the veterans, by full
payment of the bonus.

A few days ago we workers were
requested" to give up part of our
lunch hour to hear on eof the big
salaried grafters from the chest" tell
us, who had five wage-cuts, that we
must give more Of our pay to this
graft. And graft we know it is, but
we are yet unorganized and would
lose our Jobs if we refused.
In order to make it "easier" the
company is going to take the money
right out Of our pay. The notice
says that the unemployed are in
need but it does not say that SO
per cent of the money collected viii
go to pay the salaries of the high
paid officials and for banquets for
the Community Chest grafters.
1t is becoming palmer to all the
workers now that unless we organize
to defeat this terrible attack on us
the company will go on and on low
ering our living level. We must fol-
low the example Of the workers in
the other ndustries-organize and
strike against the wage-cuts.
