GLOVER PARK BUS
SERVICE ATTACKED
Citizens Association Also
Hits Way Traffic on
Beecher Street.

protesting against the service on the
Burletth-Glover Park bus line, where
1t was charged many old buses are
breaking down, the Glover Park Citi-
zens' Association, meeting at the In
dustrtal Home School last night. re-
solved to carry complaints to the Pub
lie Utilities Commission.
The association unanimously adOpted
a resolution introduced by the chair
man OF the Public Utilities Committee
asking the commission to investigate
conditions, and to make the necessary
adjustments. The resolution also con-
tanned protest against a recent pro-
poSal made by the Burleith Citizens
Association which would, in effect. 1t
was held, supply more buses to the
Burleith area and less to the Glover
Park section.
Buses should be properly serviced
so they will not break down SO often
or new equipment should be furnished,
the resolution said. Members pointed
out that since the merger Of the two
car companies, the better equipped
buSSeS have been taken OF this line
and older and smaller ones substf-
tUted.
Ask Better Car Service.
In another resolution, the associa-
ton asked for better street-car serv-
ice on Wisconsin avenue. The pro-
posal asks that cars on this line be
scheduled to run every 10 or IL
minutes.
Claiming they had had no voice In
the matter, the association, in another
resolution, scored the method of the
Traffic Department in making Beecher
street one-Way between Huidekouer
and Thirty-ninth street and requested
reconsideration Of the action. The
resolution contended many residents
on Beecher street knew nothing of the
proposed change, and asks that in the
future when such changes are to be
made In the traffic regulations IN resi-
Dental areas, public hearings shall be
held, and those affected by the
changes allowed to voice their com
plants.
The citizens claim that during the
seven years two-way traffic prevailed
on Beecher street, no complaints were
maoe by the residents affected, no
material Change occurred in the traf-
nc conditions, and no traffic accidents
were reported in the vicinity. They
further contended similar restrictions
had not been made on other streets
OF similar width throughout the city.
Hear Of Gas Service.
Copies Of the resolution are to be
sent TO Chairmen Norton and King of
the House and Senate District Com
mittees. to the District Commissioner
and to the Federation OF Citizens As
Sociations.
E. j. Boothby general manager of
the Washington Gas Light Co., spoke
on Gas Service and Facilities"
Calling the gas company "the lare-
est single supplier Of fuel in the Dis
trict," he pointed out that there are
l42 900 meters in the city. and Gus
toners number 1876 200. These Gus
toners last year used over eight bill
lion cubic feet Of gas. TO contain
such an amount Of gas" he went on,
"a structure, would have'to be as high
as the Washington Monument. 2 miles
long and one-quarter mile wide"

Farm Industry Union Sought for Security
Vicious Circle Drifting
to City and Back.

Of industry and agriculture. Most OF
the Tennessee Valley raw materials
are peculiar r. the area. So far as
possible the industries will be based on
these raw materials 1t probably will
be impossible to avoid a minimum Of
competition but, SO far as possible,
every effort will be made to avoid
duplication Of enterprises which are
successful elsewhere.
DR.. Morgan realizes that It probably
will be impossible to bring about the
ideal Of q self-contained economic
unit. It will always be necessary to
purchase some products from the out
side 1t will always be necessary to
export some products. But the whole
set-up Is being arranged so far as
possible so that o very large part Of
the increased local production will be
absorbed In an increased local market.
Buying Power Important
Take, for example, canned straw
berries. 1t is probable that the entire
product of the plant can be consumed
locally. Other sections Of the country
have their strawberry canning plants.
Then the Tennessee Valley people will
turn to eating their own Strawberries
instead of purchasing those canned in
Delaware. Consequently, it might be
argued, the Delaware strawberry can
ners will be the worse of for losing
part OF their market
But this is not how It is expected to
work out-even aside from the shaky
economics Of buying abroad a product
which can be produced more cheaply
at home For the fact is that there
are many thousands of families In the
Tennessee Valley that do not have
canned strawberries because they can
not afford to purchase them. Under
the industry agriculture combination
their incomes will be increased and
they will have enough surplus to buy
these canned goods. They will buy
them from the local industry. 1t will
be creating an altogether new market
instead of robbing an old one. So
with the rest Of the proposed indus
tries. The increased purchasing power
at nome is expected to more than
make up for the minor element Of
competition which may be unavoidable
at times.

STATISTICS FLY
IN WAGE DISPUTE
Rail Labor Cites Operating
Revenue Rise in Fight
on Pay Cut.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Figures became ammunition today
In the controversy over railroad
wages.
Federal statistics showed-and this
point was stressed by workers repre-
sentatives-that general operating
revenues of the Nations railways, as
well as the index Of living costs, are
on the upgrade.
On the other hand, 1t was pointed
out, both figures are still at lower lev
els than in the period Immediately
before the 10 per cent basic wage cut
two years ago. Railroad spokesmen
also lay stress on the long series of
lean years, competition from auto
trucks, and other factors.
Net Incomes Increase.
Railway net incomes, the statistics
show are sharply higher than in 1882.
The trends were brought to the fore
by q plea from President Roosevelt
that any further wage reduction be
deferred at least six months.
Rail chieftains. gathered in Chi
cago, are considering the request,
alongside one of their own for an
other per cent slice next July /.
This would make basic wage cut of
Is per cent.
Available statistics show railroad
net operating income enjoying a sub
stantial increase in 1888 as against
. the previous year, with January also
showing a gain.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics re-
ports living costs are rising now by
approximately IA per cent annually.
A rise of 7 per cent since last June
Is noted by the bureau. It's index
then was 1888 per cent of living costs
in 1919, the comparative year used.
In December, 1882, the index was
1883, while in December, 1888, it
stood at 1876.
Operating Costs Cut.
Railroad net operating income rose
from S326.317,9 ,936 in 1882 to $474, ,369,-
436 last year, due to a 80 per cent re-
duction In operating costs and at q
substantial cut in taxes.
The latest statistics published by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
show railway general operating in
come-the total collected for hauling
freight, passengers, mail and from
other sources-dropped from $3.126,-
899,091 in 1882 to $3,0e5, ,446,19O in
1888 decline Of approximately $780,
100000.
Operating expenses, however.
dropped from $2,4O3, ,54S, ,795 to s2,249,-
316,750, leaving a net revenue from
railway operations of sa46, 1877 ,44O in
1888 as compared with $723, ,345 ,296 in
1882.
Out of the net revenue from oper-
ations must be taken s249 .539, ,963 paid
in taxes for 1888 and $275.17l, $50 in
1892, which with other items. left a.
net railway operating income of $474,-
369,4Ss for 1888 as compared with
S326,317936 for the previous year.
Latest figures for freight car load
tngs have shown increases, indicating
general operating incomes also are
rising.

Fascism. engaged in one of the Bit
terest battles that the home Of pugil-
ism has ever seen.
The meeting. sponsored by trade
union and Socialist organizations late
yesterday afternoon, became a bed
lam shortly after it was called to
order when about 5000 Communists
among the crowd of 10000 which
jammed the building tried to take
charge.
Three women and nine men were
beaten or struck by chairs and one
man was stabbed in the back. Seven
OF the injured were taken to q hos
pltal for treatment.
Pleads for Unity.
The fighting started shortly after

duced Charles Solomon, Socialist can
diate for mayor last Fall. Catcalls,
boos and shouting had interrupted
Lee, but Solomons statement: I'VE
plead for unity Of Socialists and So
cial revOlutionaries together" was the
signal for a free for all.
In the north boxes two Communists
lost most Of their clothing as they
were overpowered by Socialists and
taken outside by special house police.
A few city police were present and
others Of detail of $50 outside ar
rived during the hour Of rioting that
followed, but none Of them had night
sticks.
Clarence A. Hathaway, editor Of
the Daily Worker, Communist daily
paper, was severely beaten by Social
lists when he attempted to make a
speech.
Chair Hurled.
AS the tumult grew, Communists
from vantage points in the balconies
hurled chairs at q throng about the
speakers stand.
Finally about so policemen took UP
positions about the speakers stand,
and as there appeared no chance of
quieting the throng sufficiently for
speakers to be heard, the meeting was
adjourned. The Communists, bearing
their leader, Robert Minor, on their
shoulders, marched down Eighth ave-
nue. to Union Square.
Mayor La Guardia and Matthew
Vol, vice president of the American
Federation of Labor, were to have
addressed the meeting, but were not
