Cost Of Changes
Put al S514,290
By Transit Firm
~
Says Union Demands
Also Would Require
81 New Employees

The Capital Transit Co. today
presented data to five-man arbi-
tration board to show that certain
changes in working conditions
asked by the union employees would
cost the company S514,290 year.
The company also maintained
before the board, which is hold
ing hearings at the Hamilton Ho-
tel, that the changes would re-
quire the employment of 81 men.
The union, among its collateral
demands, is asking for an increase
from 10 to 20 minutes in report"
and "turn-in" time, and an in
crease from 48 to so per cent in
straight runs, overtime after 10
hours of what is known as
spread" time instead of II hours.
and other concessions.
Figures Presented.
Isaac 3. Goad, director of sched-
ules and traffic, presented figures
indicating that if the company re-
quests were granted, the annual
saving would be $500.986 and that
five fewer men would be required
to operate the present schedules.
The union also is asking a Is
cents an hour pay raise across
the board and elimination of all
so-called Swing runs" on Sum-
day.
The company, besides resisting
the proposed pay raise, is asking
the arbitration board for i've
changes in working conditions, in
Guiding elimination of operators
pay for the Commute daily
lunch period.
Documents Submitted.
Hawley Simpson, labor con-
sultant. and Mr.. Goad, put into
the record for the company yes
terday series of documents OUT
lining the background Of the op-
Grafton of both bus and streetcar
lines as basis for discussion to-
day of requests by the union.
Mr.. Goad told the board yes
terday operators now average
hours and 10 minutes work day,
but under the contract still in ef.
feet, get paid for an average OF
s hours and 80 minutes.
In support of the company's
contention that a 25-cent wage
raise is not justified, Mr.. Simpson
submitted figures showing that
the average transit worker earned
more than the average Federal
Government employe in 1948.
The average salary of 798,052
classified workers in Government
was shown to be $3,313 annually
in 1948, compared with $3,339 for
transit workers.
A still sharper comparison was
shown by a table indicating that
473,249 Federal workers subject
to prevailing local rates averaged
$2.760 a year.

Tuesday that he was withdrawing
some requests for telephone re-
moval because District Court pro-
ceedings have enabled his Office
to make a clearer "evaluation of
the evidence" required to uphold
phone removals. He didn't say
how many Of his original 326 re-
quests were Withdrawn.
In the courts. Mr.. Fay has had
to battle a battery OF defense
lawyers trying to get the SO gam
bling indictments thrown out on
a variety of reasons.
In the preliminary maneuver-
ing, he had one major victory.
Judge Edward M. Curran cleared
the way for prosecution OF
"Snags' Lewis and his co-defend-
ants by upholding the right Of
deputy marshals from the District
to raid a Maryland establishment
on q search warrant issued by a
United States Commissioner In
Maryland.
Without that ruling. Mr.. Fay's
crusade would have foundered on
the shoals of no-jurisdiction. In
case of conviction of these IA de-
PENDANTS, Mr.. Fay would have to
fight out the question of jurisdic-
ton In the Court of Appeals.
Two Defendants Die.
In contrast with the compare
lively smooth sailing of the Lewis
case through endless preliminary
motions, the prosecutor suffered
one setback after another in some
of the other cases. two defendants
died before trial and third case
was dismissed at Government re-
quest.
Here is the score in some of the
other cases growing out OF the
special grand jury's investigation
and the March Is raids:
Judge Edward A. Tamm ruled
the raid on Barber's Newsstand
was based on defective warrant
and all the evidence collected In
that raid would have to be sup
pressed.
Since Garner s. Barbour. one
of those indicted, has died. that
decision affected three other de-
PENDANTS arrested at the news
stand and indirectly affected i've
others accused Of conspiring with
them to violate District gaming
laws.

He had no trouble with the tick
ers. They were out and as far as
is known have stayed out Of the
Maryland locations.
The telephones were different
story and SO were the indictments.
One of his headaches was the
question of jurisdiction and a
barrage Of lawyers made the most
of 1t.
Lost First Phone Case.
Mr.. Fay lost the first telephone
case brought into court. Nathan
Miller. whose Avondale. Md. tele-
phone was to be removed, sought
an injunction to prevent It's re-
moval and won his case when
Judge David A. Pine ruled that no
evidence had been produced to
show the Maryland phone was
used to laid and abet" gambling in
the District.
A few weeks later. Judge Alex
ander Holtzof told Mr.. Fay his
notice to the telephone company
was not enough to justify phone
removals, that he would have to
submit substantial proof Of law
violation.
After that, the prosecutor began
winning the phone removal cases
but an assistant United States at
torney was kept busy lining up af-
f1davits to justify the removals.
The telephone project. however,
continued to harass Mr.. Fay. The
Public Utilities Commission was
asked to pass on the telephone
company regulations that service
would not be furnished If any
law enforcement agency advised
the, phone was being or would be
used to violate the law.
The PUG. after a hearing. told
the company to revise its rule to
provide that the company should
notify the affected, subscriber of
his right to apply to the PUG "for
q determination of the applicable
ity" Of the rule.
Some Requests Withdrawn.
Judge James w. Morris last
month said that the language was
too vague and the PUG made an
other revision to insure q fair
hearing and competent evidence
against the subscriber before
phone removals.
Finally, Mr.. Fay said only last
