Transit Wage Arbiter!
Get Demand Today
For 25-Cent Boost

4 Employees of the Capital Transit
Co. today were to place their de-
mands for 25-cents- hour
wage increase before the arbitra-
ton board hearing the contract
dispute between the company and
the union workers.
E. L. Oliver, who is presenting
the case for the union. Division
689 of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Street. Electric Railway
and Motor Coach Employees, said
he expects the presentation of the
arguments for higher wages will
take two days.
! He SAID the evidence to be pre-
Sented will be mostly in the form
of statistics. These will be en-
bodied in various exhibits for the
flve-man board. on top of the 81
which had been introduced by the
time yesterdays hearing ad-
journed. The hearings are being
held in the Hamilton Hotel.
Increased in I948.
The company's streetcar and
bus operators now are paid ST.
an hour. The figure was set at
$l.35 as the result of arbitration
in the summer of 1947. A 10-cent
increase was given on July /, 1948,
as the result of negotiations. Me-
chanics are paid from $1.41 to
$158.
Mr.. Oliver has asserted that
Capital Transit wages have Jagged
behind those paid by the leading
transit companies of the country
and that, since mid-1947. wages
in American industry generally
have risen more than II cents an
hour.
! He declared the Bureau of
Labor Statistics has reported that
the present cost of living in WASH
ington for the average family is
$685..
According to the company, a
25-cent increase in the hourly
rate of pay would cost $2,875. 900
year.
I Higher Fares Mentioned.
! E. D. Merrill, president of the
company, said at the opening OF
the hearing, that higher fares
may be necessary, even with the
present costs. He said there is no
justification for any increase in
labor costs and that there has
been no increase in the cost OF
living since the last wage raise.
The company's side of the dis
pute will be presented to the arbi-
tration board at the conclusion
of the unions case.
Most of yesterday afternoons
hearing was given over to presen-
tation Of the unions demand that
there shall be one mechanic with
an A rating and one with a 3
rating in the truck shop of the
repair department. The trucks re-
ferred to are the wheel assemblies

a B rating $1.46 and with a {
rating the highest grade now ir

tells the unusual story of a man
who steals another'S nightmare and
makes it come violently true.
The film is said to be packed with
the kind of excitement that is a Dur

plenty of opportunity to pull tce
rough stuff that his fans not only
expect but demand of him. Miss
Lamour, on the receiving end of
most of it, has a straight, dramatic
role os a bewildered innocent girl

instrumental in effecting Duryea's
eventual capture.

Outlaw Bias On
Religious Basis

Chicago-(Atlas)-A resolution
to seek an end to discrimination
against Negroes was adopted here
by the National Federation of
Catholic College students.
The 900 delegates from 1859 in
situations of the Federation's five
day convention agreed that dis
elimination against Negroes con
stitutes a human denial of the
divine truth that all men are
everywhere united by the redemp-
tive love of Christ"
The students avered that an in
itial appeal would be launched
against "unwarranted' discrimina-
ton against Negro in Catholic
Churches in the south. Some mem
bers were refrained from giving
evidences of Catholic Churches in
New Orleans, which displayed
jim crow signs to separate Ne
gro and white parishioners, and
