CAPITAL TRACTION
TO ACT NEXT WEEK
ON UN|F|CAT|ON
Appointment of Committee
to Begin Negotiations
Is Expected.
w. R. & {. WILL WAIT
UNTIL BILL is SIGNED
Gratitude of Citizens for Passage
of Merger Measure Voiced
by Littlepage.

With the street railway merger bill
awaiting only President Hoover's sig
nature to become law, officials of the
Capital Traction Co. are planning to
take the initial step in drafting a unfit
cation agreement next week
The Washington Railway and Elec-
tric Co. does not contemplate any action
until after the President has affixed
his signature to the bill.
The board of directors OF the Capital
Traction Co. meets Tuesday, and Presi-
dent John H. Hanna said a committee
probably would be appointed at that
time to begin negotiations with the
other company.
viii Go to Stockholders.
1t will be necessary for the two
boards of directors to agree upon a
merger plan within six weeks after the
bill becomes law. After the plan has
been adopted by the directors, it must
be submitted to the stockholders of
both companies and ratified by them
within two years to become operative.
A unification agreement was adopted
February TO- 1928. by both companies,
but it expired June l, 1929, and must
be replaced.
Once an agreement has been adopted
by the directors and stockholders of the
two companies. provided it conforms to
the bill passed by the House and Sen
ate, the merger becomes effective The
new company, however. still will be
subject to the supervision Of the Public
Utilities Commission.
Littlepage Gratifed.
Commenting upon the passage Of the
bill by Congress, Thomas P. Littlepage,
president of the Washington Chamber
Of Commerce. said:
Washington citizens are deeply graf
1f1ed to learn of the ratification by the
House Of Representatives of the street
railway merger bill recently passed by
the Senate, and I want to extend the
cordial congratulations of the Citizens
Joint Transportation Committee to
Representative Mary T. Norton, chair
man, and the members of the House
District Committee, whose splendid
sympathy for District needs made pos
sible this long-desired achievement.
when this bill has been signed by
President Hoover the first step will have
been taken to make possible the appn-
cation Of the co-ordinated transporta-
ton plan, which the Citizens Joint
Committee is backing, and a means Of
avoiding the transportation crisis which
for long has been threatening this city.
It is the earnest hope of the members
OF the Joint Committee that the splen-
did cooperation OF Congress will be of
material aid to the Public Utilities
Commission and the affected traction
companies and that it will help them to
bring about as soon as may be a well
considered consolidation plan which
will insure better service at reasonable
cost to all District citizens"

FEDERAL LOANS
TO SCHOOLS URGED
Education Conference Agrees
on State Aid in Emer-
gency Situation.

Federal aid to State public school
systems, hard pressed to maintain "rea-
sonable standards" will be urged by
President Hoovers Citizens Conference
on the Crisis in Education, now In its
final session at the National Academy
of Sciences.
In a protracted discussion of "the
relation of expenditures for education
to expenditures for other public serv-
ives" the conference today reached an
agreement only on a portion of the
resolutions proposed by the committee
assigned to study this topic. Foremost
OF these resolutions approved was:
We urge the Congress to provide
Federal assistance through emergency
loans for limited period to such States
as may make an adequate showing of
tnelr inability to maintain reasonable
standards" in their public schoo,
systems.
Divided on Price Issue.
The conference was badly split on
a proposal to urge the raising of the
general price level on commodities, some
OF the educator delegates contending
this topic is a fundamental of society
outside the pale of a convention called
to consider an emergency in education,
and others arguing that because it is a
fundamental, it should receive specific
expression OF opinion by the Presidents
conference.
Another proposal on which the con-
Ventlon seemed in agreement, but which
Whl await formal expression until the
proposed resolutions are redrafted
eltner late today or following adjourn
ment OF the conference, Is, elimination
OF waste In school administration
through political corruption rising out
OF political appointee administration of
school systems. Complete agreement on
the phraseology Of this resolution was
lacking, however, when the educators
questioned the propriety of the word
politics" and Of the definition generally
OF political appointee"
Question Of Priority.
The sense of all resolutions expected
to come out of the conference TODAY Is
that education should be accorded
priority over other problems of Govern
ment and society generally. The Legis-
lat1ve Committe will undertake to have
the conference urge all State Legisla-
lures now IN session 10 give priority to
legislation which would seek to alleviate
unsatisfactory conditions in the school
systems.
Resolutions are yet to be proposed by
the committees on organization and
operation of instruction, school build
ingS, free schooling at higher levels, and
relation of schools to other social
agencies.
The conference still has before it the
suggestion of Secretary of Interior VIII
bur, chairman of the conference. that
millions of dollars of road funds be
used for education instead of highways
The Secretary late yesterday asserted
that I'VE can take billion dollars now
spent for highways and put it into the
schools, and with about A Legislatures
now meeting, why not boldly challenge
the highways in favor of the schools?"

STRUCTURES INVOLVED
Workers of Both Unions Dispute
Use of Lifts for Certain
Materials.

Threat of strike which may throw
from 5000 to 5000 men out of work
hung over two of the large Government
construction jobs today as a result OF
differences between hoisting engineers
and elevator men.
Treasury officials said they understood
the District of Columbia Hosting En-
gineers' Union had threatened to with
draw its men from the Justice Depart
ment Building, at Tenth street and
Pennsylvania avenue, Monday and that
the group is contemplating similar ac-
ton in connection with the Labor De-
partment construction job, at Four
teenth street and Pennsylvania avenue.
Minimizes Threat.
Neal A. Melick, construction engineer
in charge of the Labor Department job,
however, was inclined to minimize the
likelihood of strike.
I think they're just running a
bluff" he said, "and are using the
newspapers for publicity purposes"
He said he did not think more than
IS hoisting engineers were employed
on both jobs, but that strike by them
would make 1t impossible for most OF
the other men. to go on with their
work
Dispute Over Work.
The dispute was said to center around
the use of hoists by the elevator men
to lift machinery used in installing
the elevators. The hosting engineers,
it was said, contend they are entitled
to this work, But the elevator men say
they are privileged to do it themselves
by reason of recent arbitration.
One official pointed out that the
elevator men do not use the hoists more
than 80 minutes day and that both
groups are union workers. He eX-
pressed the belief this reduces the
likelihood of a strike being called.

SEAL TO REMAIN
AS AIDE TO BRIDE
Lawyer Who Represented
Dance Marathon, Censured,
WithdraWs Resignation.

The Board Of Commissioners today
allowed Assistant Corporation Counsel
Elwood H. Seal to withdraw the resig-
nation he rendered Wednesday on de-
mand of Corporation Counsel William
w. Bride, because of Seals participa-
tion in private court suit in defense
Of the promoters Of a marathon dance
contest. Seal was censured by the
board and allowed to take back his
resignation on his promise to refrain
from representing any litigant in mat
ters directly or indirectly opposed by
the municipality.
Marathon Exhibition Co., Inc, which
was being sued at equity by the All
States Hotel, which sought an injunc-
tion to prevent continuance of the
marathon at the Washington Audi
torium. When Mr.. Bride read of the
appearance of Mr.. Seal, he promptly
demanded his resignation.
Mr. Brides action was based on the
fact that the municipality Is opposed
to marathon dance contests, having
adopted police regulation designed to
stop them, and although Mr.. Seals ap-
pearance was in private litigation,
could not afford to have one of its legal
advisers supporting practice to which
1t was opposed.
Many of Mr.. Seals friends, however,
called on the Commissioners in his be-
half, urging them to take Seal back.
At their regular board meeting today
the city heads summoned Bride and
asked him if he would consent to take
Seal back if they ccnsured the young
attorney. Mr.. Bride agreed Mr. Seal
was summoned, censured by the board
and allowed to withdraw his resigna-
ton
Mr.. Bride said afterward he was per-
Sonally delighted, as Seal, with whom
he had practiced law before his ap-
pointment as corporation counsel, was
good friend
