tute House Resolution

The street railway merger resolution
already passed by the House will be
put forward in the Senate in place
of the resolution previously drafted
by the Senate District Committee. but
Senators Capper Of Kansas and Blaine

predicted there will be no chance for
Senate consideration CT the merger at
this session in view of the appropriation
bills and other emergency matters
awaiting attention.
Senator Copeland of New York, one
of the supporters of the House resolu-
ton, tried to work out compromise
with Senator Capper, by asking the

for universal free transfers from cars
to buses and between busses, as well
as between car lines, if the electric
power clause is changed to meet the
views of the minority.

SHAW HITS SPLIT
WITH FEDERATION
Federal Employees Leader
Declares Withdrawal Ref
erendum Illegal.

The attempted withdrawal of the Ma
tlonal Federation of Federal Employees
from the American Federation of Labor
was extremely ill-advised, untimely
and laid us open to attacks from en-
enlies who have long sought opportunity
to take away from Federal employees
those things for which they have long
contended and many of which they
have won as their just due" John
Arthur Shaw, vice chairman on organi-
zation of the Joint Conference on At
flliation with the American Federation
OF Labor, declared in an address last
night before members of Federal En-
ployes' Union No. 2.
Federal employees have walked hard
in hand with the American Federation
OF Labor for more than IS years, to the
great benefit of ourselves and addi-
tional solidarity of the American labor
movement" Shaw declared.
The American Federation of Labor.
Shaw said, is sincere in its efforts Ia
aid Federal employees in the difficulties
now confronting them as a result OF
congressional pay cuts and curtailment
of privileges.
The referendum which resulted in the
withdrawal of the Federation of Federal
Employees from the American Fedora
tion OF Labor, against which legal in
junction has been asked in the District
courts, Shaw said, was executed Illegal
~. It's results are in no way binding.
ne said, and in the eyes of the law, the
FEDERAL employees have not broken away
from the American Federation of Labor
He charged that national officers who
sponsored the withdrawal ''usurped the
powers inherently vested In the mem
bership at large"
Federal employees, who have sued for
an injunction to set aside the with
drawal referendum, Shaw predicted
would win their suit because it is legal
iy. morally and ethically right"

ACTION DELAYED
IN GAS DISPUTE
Utilities Commission to Let
Situation Simmer Before
New Move.

The Public Utilities Commission is
expected to let the case of the Wash
ington Gas Light Co., which held q
directors meeting Thursday in defiance
of its written orders, simmer for while
pending an investigation into the legal
steps which should be taken No action
should be expected, it was said today
until the latter part of next week
What may be done then was not sug-
gested.
Law Provides Penalty.
Under the public utilities law the COM
mission could assess a penalty against
the company for violation of its order
or might 60 to court to have the pro-
ceedings taken at the directors meeting
set aside. The directors accepted the
resignation of George A. G. Wood as
president and elected Robert D. Weaver
a member of the board, still leaving two
vacancies to be filed.
The commission has subpoenaed the
minutes of the annual meeting of stock
holders last Monday, at which Mr.
Wood declared no quorum was present
and which he adjourned. This was
done following reports in The Evening
Star quoting Julian Pierce, minority
stockholder, as saying that Wood was
deposed after he had declared nc
quorum was present, and the minutes
were altered over his protest.
The storm in the gas company's af-
fairs has been gathering for some time
At lengthy public hearings last Septem-
Der evidence was developed showing, ir
the commissions opinion, close con-
troll of the local corporation by the Cen
tral Public Service Corporation Of Chi
cago, Chase-Harris Forbes Corporation
of New York and other affiliated cor.
porations and trusts.
Peace Move Reported.
The commission last Saturday de-
clared "a per cent of the stock held
by these foreign corporations illegally
held, and issued an order prohibiting
its holders from voting 1t. The annual
meeting of stockholders at which WOOD
was allegedly deposed followed.
Then, acting on rumors that boarc
Of directors meeting was to be held, the
commission served notice en- the COM
pany that this would be violation oi
its order, but the board meeting was
held, nevertheless, last Thursday.
1t was reported today that repre-
sentatives of the Chase-Harris Forbes
Corporation are endeavoring to make
the peace with the commission and
that efforts would be made to straighten
out the company's affairs by agreement
instead Of by litigation. The case will
come up for discussion before the regu-
lar meeting CT the commission next
Monday.
