FEDERAL employees
TO PRESS PROGRAM
National Federation Prepared to
Ask for New Civil Service
Legislation.

The National Federation of Federal
Employees is prepared to press for civil
service legislation as soon as the new
Congress assemblies. Luther c. Stew
ard, president, said in q statement
last night.
Our fundamental objective IS the
extension and strengthening of the
merit system" he said. ITO this vir-
tually every candidate for national
Office in the election was pledged.
Redemption of that pledge now is
definitely in order. On the basis Of
that pledge, legislation to be spon-
sored by the National Federation Of
Federal Employees in the January seS.
sion of Congress should receive thor.
ough-going support in every quarter.
"As members of the Seventy-fifth
Congress arrive in Washington, the
national officers of the National Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees will place
before them the legislative program
Of the organization, which looks to-
ward the betterment of public per-
sonnel administration within the Fed
eral service.
THE merit-system issue without
question takes precedence in i'm
portance over all others because Of its
basic nature. Other vital objectives,
however, include extension of classifl-
cation in the field services; minimum
wage of $500 for all adult full-time
employees; optional retirement after 80
years service; establishment of CEN
trail personnel agency; civil service
court of appeals, and liberalization Of
retirement.
"The attainment of these and other
legislative objectives of the National
Federation of Federal Employees will
mean much to the taxpayers of the
United States in improving the whole
level Of efficiency within the Federal
service"

FARES AND CARS
BELIEVED TALKED
AT SECRET TPARLEY
Transit Officials Silent on
Purpose of Conference
With Commission.
UTILITIES BODY ALSO
REFUSES INFORMATION
Merrill Declines Comment, but
Cites Statement Regarding Pur-
chase of New Equipment.
BY DON S. WARREN.

Officials of the Capital Transit Co.
today declined to disclose the purposes
of secret conference held late yester-
day between four directors of the COM
pany and members Of the Public Util-
tiles Commission.
Despite the veil Of secrecy, however,
there were indications the conference
concerned both the petition of The
company for an increase in fare and
the request of the commission chair
man, Riley E. Elgen. that the company
purchase a number of modern new
street cars each year.
Commission members suggested to-
day any statement about the confer
ence should come from the transit
company's directors. The commission
officials said no definite proposals had
been offered and that no decision had
been reached. 1t was emphasized also
that the directors did not appear in an
official capacity.
Those at Conference.
The directors attending the confer
ence. it was said, were Charles C.
Glover. jr.: Robert v. Fleming and
E. c. Graham, all bankers, and S.
Percy Thompson, an official of lum-
Der concern.
Neither Glover nor Fleming could
be reached this morning, and Graham
merely said he had talked with the
commission as private citizen and
not as an official Of the transit COM
pany and that many subjects of
general nature were brought up.
E. D. Merrill, vice president and
general manager of the transit COM
pany, declined to comment on the
conference, but repeated the statement
he made recently that the question of
how many new street cars the company
could undertake to buy must be de-
termined by the amount of net rev.
enues Of the company. Elgen re-
Gently wrote Merrill, proposing that no
less than so new street cars should
be bought each year. until all the
Oldest and least efficient cars were
replaced. He suggested that the
first so be put into use by the middle
of 1887.
Seek Dato on Hearing.
Officials of the company were
represented today as being anxious to
know when a public hearing will be
called by the commission on the COM
panys petition for an increased fare.
Commission officials said it probably
would be ready by the end of the
month, but the date has not yet been
fixed.
Last June the company petitioned
that the one-dollar weekly street car
pass be sold at price of SIPS, which
would mean there would be but one
type of pass to be used either on
street cars or buses. The company
also requested car tokens be sold three
for 25 cents instead of four for 80
cents, which would raise the token
rate from 7l2 cents to 81s cents. The
company estimated the changed fares
would increase its revenue by some
$431 900 q year.

PROBE MYSTERY
SHOOTING Of MAN
FreeIand Bragg Is in Serious
Condition in Baltimore
Hospital.

Shot under circumstances unknown
to police, a man identified as Free
land Bragg, 20, of 1912 N street. was
In serious condition in Baltimore
hospital today with bullet wounds in
his chest and neck.
Bragg lodged Baltimore police and
hospital authorities for several hours
yesterday before he was caught and
placed in hospital after ne had
applied to a physician for anti
tetanus treatment.
Several witnesses to hold-up in a
restaurant at 1115-17 Seventeenth
street election night, when two ban
dts were fired at by a policeman
as they fed with a cash register con-
tanning 500, will be sent to Baltimore
to view Bragg, Washington police
said today.
Policeman Joseph Dellinger, who
was eating a sandwich in the res
taurant at the time, fired one shot at
the bandits.
Baltimore police were checking two
other reports concerning the shooting
one tht Bragg had accidentally shot
himself at party and the other that
he was wounded in an Anne Arundel
County Md) tavern.
Of1cers said Bragg told them he
did not know who fired the shots, but
beyond that refused to talk.
According to Baltimore police, Bragg
first appeared at a downtown hospital
about am. yesterday, but fed with
out receiving treatment when an officer
approached to question him. A woman
who accompanied him to the hospital
told police he had shot himself. She
identified herself as his sister.
Several hours later Bragg went to
the Office Of physician and asked for
an anti-tetanus injection. The doctor
treated him, but summoned police
when Bragg left without revealing his
identity.
Police took Bragg into custody near
the physicians's residence and after
questioning him at a police station,
transferred him to the hospital. It
was found that the bullet that pierced
his neck had cut the windpipe.
A man and a woman, who gave
Baltimore addresses, were later ar
rested and held for investigation in
the case. Their connection with the
affair was not explained Immediately
and police postponed further ques-
tiontng pending improvement in
Bragg's condition.

said Bragg had been living there only
q short time and that they understood
he was employed by q laundry. They
said he left Saturday to 60 to Phila-
delphia to vote.

PARTY LEADERSHIP
FIGHT IS EXPECTED
Democrats Without Recog-
nized Head Since Death
of RitChie.
By the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, November 5.-Since
the New Deal retained its control
with the greatest popular majority
ever given a presidential candidate
in the State, Maryland Democrats are
trying to solve the question of who
shall be their principal leader.
Since the death of former Gov.
Albert c. Ritchie last February, there
has not been one recognized leader Of
the party in Maryland. Whether the
Democratic sweep Tuesday will pro-
vide that recognized leader remains to
be seen.
Some observers felt that Senator
George Radcliffe, Maryland campaign
manager for the Roosevelt Garner
ticket, would be the logical man to
step into the leaders shoes.
Radcliffe took over the campaign
managers job months before the
election and at a time when it was
not known how Maryland would line
up ON the New Deal ballot test.
Dealt Out Little Patronage.
Radcliffe, however, during the time
he has served in the Senate has not
dealt much in patronage. Most of
that has been left to the States
senior Senator. Millard E. Tydings,
who campaigned actively for President
Roosevelt after having opposed nu-
merous New Deal measures in Con-
gress.
Some sources felt that the leader
ship question might not be settled
until after the 1888 election in which
a Governor win be chosen. Talk Of
the governorship race made itself felt
during the early stages Of the recent
presidential campaign, but was shushed
up completely in the closing weeks.
The name Of Mayor Howard jack
son Of Baltimore has been mentioned
most in connection with the guber-
material race. It is no secret that
Jackson has been bending his efforts
that way.
Sasscer Also Candidate.
Senator Lansdale G.. Sasscer Of
Prince Georges County, president Of
the State Senate, also is q recog-
nlzed candidate for the 1898 guber-
Material election. Attorney General
Herbert r. O'Conor also has been
mentioned.
Salient features Of the Maryland
presidential balloting, as returns were
virtually completed, were:
The total baIloting passed the 610.-
600 mark, new record for Maryland.
The majority Of President Roosevelt
neared the 160,o00 mark, another new
record for Maryland.
Republicans polled approximately
10000 more voters in Baltimore than
there are registered Republican votes
here.
