Transit Co.'S proposal for conversion
OF 81 CID tWo-man StreetCars to one
man operation, as one means of
solving its manpower problem, were
IN adjournment today to give the
streetcar union time to declare its
stand.
The record was held open until
next Tuesday. subject to a. reopen
ing of the hearings if that is deemed
necessary.
The question Of onc-man cars as
against those having a conductor
and motOrman, once a hard
fought issue in Washington. was

statement by NJ sgr. Francis j. Haas.
chairman OF the Presidents Com
mlttee on Fair Employment Prac-
tlccs, regarding the present Situa-
ton at the Capital Transit Co.
Father Haas Statement.
Father Haas said his latest in
formation Indicated some progress
was being made, that the company
had indicated its Willingness to COM
ply with the committee orders, but
he also reported that the United
States Employment Service had in
formed him that if any present en-
ployes were to stop work in oppo-
Sitlon to employment of colored
trainmen. they would be unable to
be certified for employment else
where
There was a suggestion at the
close of Yesterdays public hearings
that the local division of the Anal
Eamated Association of Street. Elec-
trio Railway and Motor Coach En-
plOyeS Of America might possibly
change its traditional stand against
use OF One-man cars The union
heretofore always has opposed such
operation.
During the session. T. Ormonde
Nichols. the unions representative,
explained that a union committee
was studying the questions involved
in the company's petition. including
the comfort, safety and conven-
fence as to passengers and workers
and the prevailing manpower Situa-
tion that led to the adjournment for
a week.
Cars Bought in 1920.
It was brought out that the cars
which would be converted to one
man operation were bought in 1919
and 1920. The chief engineer of
the PUG, Fred A. Sager. said that
retired this year Or next, but be-
cause Of the inability to replace most
old equipment because Of wartime
prlOritieS he agreed they might be
used for the duration and one year
thereafter. He made the point the
cost Of conversion would be amor
tized within a short time.
Civic spokesmen gave support to
the Company's plan in view of the
prevailing manpower shortage. John
II. ConnaughtOn, speaking for the
Federation of Citizens Associations,
and representatives Of the North
west Citizens Council were re-
corded in favor Of the petition and
spokesmen for the Mid City Citi-
zens Association anG the kenil-

Cost Of Conversion
Of Capitol Garage
Placed al $4,000
Army Survey Fixes Cost
On Bosis Of Existing Heat
And Sanitary Facilities

Inc CapltOl'S underground garage
could be converted into overnight
sleeping quarters for 700 Servicemen
at cost of about s31 900. according
TO a report by Army authorities.
made public today by Representa-
tive Tolan, Democrat, of California
Representative Tolan. who with
Senator Langer. Republican. of
North Dakota. offered a Joint SEN
ate-House resolution to utilize the
garage as overnight lodgings for
transient servicemen, said the ARMY
indicated the sanitary facilities now
IN the garage are adequate for no
more than $50 persons.
In addition. the report pointed out
that present heating and ventilating
facilities were planned primarily for
garage purposes, leaving the quar-
ters cold in the winter.
1t estimated, however, that the pa
rage could be made habitable for
700 servicemen by the installation of
, additional fans. heating equipment
toilets and lighting facilities. at a
cost OF s3l 900. An additional ex-
pendlture Of $4,000 for flooring was
said by the report to be desirable
/ though not essential.
! Harold Buckles. secretary to Mr.
| Tolan, said he did not think the
Army report. though adverse to the
| proposal in some respects presented
any insuperable obstacle to con-
version OF the garage to lodgings
! He said the garage. now used tc
house fewer than 200 congressional
! automobiles. still is the largest
/ amount Of floor space near Union
| Station that could be obtained for
the money
He pointed out. however. that Mr.
Tolan will consider alternative pro-
posals.
A civilian engineer has studied the
feasibility of an alternative sugges-
tlon that the unused gymnasium in
I Union Station be converted into
/ overnight lodgings for the service
men. Mr.. Buckles said This enei-
neers report, not yet made public,
said sleeping space could be pro-
vided for about 400 servicemen in
! the gymnasium at a cost of $40 900.
