Capital Transit Asks
Permission 10 Cut
Slack Hour Trips

Citing continuing shortages OF
manpower,s : the Capital Transit Co.
today asked the Public Utilities
Commission for authority to reduce
for the duration of the emergency
the number Of streetcar trips during
the base-day or non-rush hours.
The decrease in the number Of
trips would range from one to three
per hour on various lines.
The expected savings in man.
power, even with the reduced base
day runs, are not expected by the
company to be sufficient and the
company said ut probably will be
necessary to adjust bus schedules
similarly"
In the letter, signed by E. D.
Merrill, Capital Transit president,
the commission was informed the
number of scheduled runs for which
there were insufficient operators ap-
proximated rs during the past few
weeks. These unoperated runs and
a large number of uncovered rush
hour operations have resulted in the
incorporation of approximately 145
cars and buses scheduled for serv-
ice during the morning rush period,
and l25 during the afternoon rush
period, he said.
Furthermore" Mr.. Merrill added
there have been no extra men avail
able to cover losses of manpower due
to sickness, vacations, absenteeism,
etc. These losses have resulted in
gaps in the service"
These reductions in service, which
are designed to save the operation
OF So cars and the use of 178 men
during the base day, will provide
more uniform service, the company
claimed. 1t also was said by a COM
pany spokesman that this saving of
manpower during the base day
would now make it possible to cover
some of the $50 to IT'S runs which
are unassigned at present. The
company has reported a net loss of
about $50 streetcar and bus opera
tors last year.
1t is proposed, Mr. Merrill's letter
stated, ito reduce after midnight
service to whatever extent the new
curfew regulations make possible.
This step will tend to increase the
availability of volunteers for morn
ing rush service and make possible
the scheduling of more afternoon
rush service. However, many of the
reductions in the late night and
early morning service can be accom-
plished by means of minor schedule
changes for quicker results. Similar
changes are contemplated with
Sunday schedules"

Joint Appeal By
 Labor For Wage Jump Rejected
Representatives Of 12,OOO Workers Acted Together
 In Plea To VILE.

WASHINGTON (LPA).- An unusual joint request by the AFL and ClO for wage increase was rel jected last week by the War Labor Board.
 The request came from the United Steelworkers -CIO and the Int'l Assn of Machinists = AFL for a jump in the 109o flat bonus paid to non-production employees at three plants of the Curtiss- Wright Corp, Propeller Division, at Beaver, Pa., Caldwell and Clifton, N. J., and In- dianapois, Ind. Approximately l2,00O maintenance and production workers are represented by the two unions.
 Both the LAM and the LISA asked that the flat bonuses paid to the non production workers should be in- creased to the average bonus earned by the incentive workers in the indi- vidual plants, or, i'll the alternative, to 30%o of the basic hourly rates of the incentive employees. Incentive bon uses are paid to approximately 46o of the workers at the three plants and the remaining non-production em- ployes are paid a 10%o flat bonus.
 Labor members of the WLB dis sented from the ruling which also denied a LISA request for guaran teed minimum wage for workers at the Beaver plant.

Interference Of WCTU Protested By Bartenders
Dry Organization Also Op- posed To Cooperation
 With Labor Unions

SAN DIEGO, Calif.-Bar custom CTS will be drinking some strange tasting connections if the Womens Christian Temperance Union has its way.
 The dry organization, together with the San Diego Ministerial Assn., has forced the city board of education to eliminate instruction in beverage dispensing from a pro. posed vocational school program for culinary workers. Credentials of d union-designated instructor had already been approved by the state board of education.
 Protesting the boards decision, Business Agt. John Brown of Local 800, Bartenders Int1. League (AFL), pointed out that the state apprentice ship training program is for all legal occupations and that bartending is a legal occupation. His view was shared by Pres William Brunson of the San Diego Tavern Keepers Assn.
 But even the board of education baked when the WCTU extended its objection to cover any kind of voca- tional cooperation between public schools and the unions.
