A new appeal for funds to eX-
pand operations of the elevator
division of the Building Inspectors
offlce-deemed necessary for the
proper protection of the thou
sands Of daily elevator passengers
in the District-Will probably be
laid before the House District
Committee, it was learned today.
The appeal is being drafted by
representatives Of the Elevator
Constructors Local Union No. 10,
and may be in the form of a bill
similar to one introduced last
year shortly after a l3year-old
bGv lost his life in an automatic
lit. That bill called for appoint
mCnt of committee of five from
the House of Representatives to
study the condition Of elevators
in Washington buildings and to
make recommendations for better
inspection.
John Proctor. business agent OF
tie union, declared today that
not only will his organization seek
more inspectors, but that de-
mands would be made for raising
the pay of the chief inspector and
his field representatives 80 a bet
ter caliber of men can be obtained
for the positions" He declared:
1T is a ridiculous situation
that exists in the elevator divi-
sion of the Building Inspectors
Office at the District Building.
The Chief Inspector there re-
ceives only $500 yearly salary
for a job that is to protect the
life and limb of thousands Of
people who every day ride public
conveyanceS throughout the
city. For instance, the chief
smoke inspector gets $4,000; the
plumbing inspector gets $4,000
and the boiler inspector $4,000.
"There are scores of elevators
throughout the city that are a
daily menace to the life and
limb of everyone who rides
them. If there were more in
spectOrs these things would not
exist"
Mr.. Proctor pointed out that the
proposed pay raises and increased
personnel had been approved sew
eral times by the District heads,
but had met with opposition in
the District Appropriations sub
committees.

Transit Grievances
Settled, Union Says

An "amicable" settlement of
several minor grievances between
the Capital Transit Company and
Local Division No. 239, Amalga,
mated Association of Street, Elec-
trio Railway and Motor Coach
Employees of America, was an
nounced today by officials of the
union. The union is comprised
of about $500 employees of the
transit company.
The agreement came following
a special meeting of the union
last week when problems arising
from the increased us of one-man
street cars were discussed. One
major demand, however, has not
been acted on by the company,
it was reported, but union Off
cials said an early and favorable

demand is for a $50 weekly sal.
airy minimum for employees
placed on the extra" list be-
cause of the one-man car opera

Approximately 500 men are now
on the extra list. according to
the union officials, and many
of these are not being given
enough work to allow them q
"livable wage"
1t was also reported today that
a general wage conference with
company officials may be called
late in March, on the second an
niverSary of the three-year agree.
ment signed March 81, 1885. How.
ever, John H. Cookman, business
agent of the union. said it had
not been decided if the confer,
enCe will be called.
The agreement, which expires
next year. stipulated that it
might be opened this March for
consideration of wage rates only.
