The fight of the public will take
definite shape tomorrow night at
the meeting of the Federation of
Citizens Associations when Will
liam NICK. Clayton, veteran chair
man of the federation's public
utilities committee, will report on
the order.
ORDER STUDIED
It was learned today that Mr..
Clayton and Thomas E. Lodge,
president of the federation, have
been making detailed study of
the commissions order and the
hearings upon which it was based.
Out of this study loomed the
possibility of a court fight.
There isn't any doubt that Con-
gress will be asked to take cog
nizance of the utility regulation
in the District as soon as it con-
venes on the fifteenth. Repre-
sentative Jennings Randolph of
West Virginia is chairman of a
special subcommittee of the
House District Committee which
already has full authority to go
into the matter.
SEEK COUNSEL
One of the principal aims of the
citizens fight, it was learned to-
day, will be to seek reestablish-
ment of the office of Peoples
Counsel before the Public Utilities
Commission. This office was al
lowed to lapse on the grounds of
economy, but the citizens feel that
1t would be wiser to have it in
operation.

the family features of the organi-

Under the health plan, married
persons would be required to pay
$3.50 a month, which entities

bers of their families wholly de
pendent on them. Single persons
pay $3.50 a month.
Mr.. Moor explained that If the

benefits to employees of the Hole
alone, disregarding members of
their families. it would not be con.
sidered subject to the insurance
law.

PEACE HOPE NEARER
New hope of an agreement, end
ing the war between the CLIO
and the American Federation of
Labor, blossomed today as leaders
of the rival groups resumed their
peace parleys in a spirit Of mu-
tual goodwill.
It was announced they would
go into session at 2 o'clock this
afternoon, to consider three pro-
posals looking toward peace. These
were:
/. Suspension, for the dura-
ton Of the discussions, of all
boycotts, organization raids and
picketings calculated to harass
the two organizations.
GENERAL SURVEY
IA survey Of all important
industries, to determine the suit

DEFENDS KENNEDY
AFL President Green was on
record as condemning the National
Maritime Union for sponsoring a
strike of the crew of the U. S.
freighter Algec. He also de-
nounced the attitude of President
Joseph Curran Of the union, in
defending the strikers and de-
manding the scalp of Chairman
Kennedy, but not before John L.

Legal Aspects :

employees, now under fire from
the District Medical Society, was
requested of the Corporation
Counsel by District Health Officer
William C. Rutland today.
At the same time 1t was revealed
that J. B. Moor, District superin-
tendent of insurance. already has
determined that this group gives
a type of insurance, under terms
of District law, and that the
Health Group is now preparing
briefs in denial of this.
SEALS STATEMENT
According to Corporation Coun-
sci Elwood Seal, he received a
written request from the health
officer for a legal study to de-
termine if the health association
offers insurance to its members.
Mr.. Seal declared:
IF we find this corporation
is doing an insurance business,
it will be required to put UP the
necessary reserve fund required
Of insurance companies. If they
refuse, they will be prosecuted"
Mr.. Seal explained that all in
sllrance companies must have a
license to operate and must main
tain proper reserve fund.
This reserve fund, according to
Mr.. Moor, would be approximate
ly at the rates of S. per member
of the organization, a figure ar
rived at on the theory that every
person requires one days hospitali-
cation, or its equivalent, each
year.

 The measure will come up for final passage probably tomorrow
