NEW CAR PASS.
PLAN URGED

Riley E. Elgen, acting chairman
Of the Public Utilities Commits
sion, is considering making a sug-
gestion that street car passengers
who ride on passes be permitted
to enter at the front of the cars,
he revealed today.
Mr.. Elgen said that, since per.
sons riding on passes can move
more rapidly than cash fare
riders who have to stop for
change and to deposit their fares.
he believes this change would
speed up service.
In addition, he believes it would
result in a more equable distribu-
ton Of passengers in the cars.
thus eliminating such of the
crowding of back platforms which
now presents a problem to con-
ductors and passengers alike.
Under Mr.. Elgen's plan, persons
paying cash fares or riding on
tokens would enter at the rear
door as now, Holders of weekly
passes would enter at the front.

man and pass on into the car

MIRA citation of Ernest T. Weir,
chairman of the board Of the Ma
tional Steel Company, on criminal
charges will depend on the out
come Of a conference today be-
tween Senator Robert r. Wagner.
chairman Of the national labor
board, and Recovery Administra-
tor Hugh S. Johnson.
Through a third person johnson
learned Wagner still hoped to
force Weir peaceably to submit
to labor board supervision Of an
election of workers representa-
tives in the plants Of the Weirton
Steel Company, subsidiary Of the
National Steel Company.
Blue Eagle At Stake
Out of difference to the Sena-
tor, johnson did not ask Attor-
ney General Cummings to take
criminal action against Weir or
order an immediate hearing to de-
prive the Steel Company Of its
Blue Eagle.
johnson believes, however, that
Weir is determined to force him
into bringing charges Of criminal
violation of the steel code. Wagner
still hopes that if the Federal
court prevents interference by the
company and fair" election is
held at the plants. Weir will capt.
ulate.
johnson may hold that he
virtually ordered Weir not to per
NIT the "company-d dominated
election to take place yesterday,
as it did, and that he, therefore. is
honor-bound to prosecute Weir
for code.violation and flouting the
authority of the recovery admin
iStrator.
Situation Is Regretted
johnson and Wagner regret
that a showdown on the constitu-
tienality of the recovery act is be-
ing forced upon them, for all dur
ing the steel code negotiations.
they said, Weir was the only steel
magnate who really was cooper
alive and helpful to the MIRA.
Observers have noted that the
two prominent industrialists most
resistant to the labor provisions
of the recovery act have been
liberals noted in their respective
industries for fair treatment Of
their workers-Henry Ford and
Weir.
This IS attributed to the fact
that they have clear consciences.
and. therefore, resent as a matter
of moral principle the sections OF
the act which would deprive them
of the right to be "benevolently
paternal' to their workers.
