Outlook Very Black
In Transit Dispute,
Union Chief Says

With four talking days re-
naming until contract-expiratior
time, new efforts will be made
tomorrow to write an agreement
between the Capital Transit Co
and Q union representing 1900
Of its employees.
But william r. Simms. presi-
dent Of Division $50. Street Rail-
way Employees (AFL). said the
outlook for agreement was "verJ
blacki"
Asked about the chances OF a
strike. which would paralyze all
District streetcar and bus trans
portation. Mr.. simms said there
was Q great possibility" Of a
strike, even though the union
would prefer to settle amicably.
A general membership meeting
will be held at Turner's Arena
Thursday at midnight to deter
mine whether the parties have
come to terms. In the event the
contract expires at that time
without q renewal, the members
are expected to take a strike vote.
The negotiations are snagged
on a pattern Of arbitration. Un-
able to agree across the table on
the issues involved. both sides
have approved of the principle of
arbitration. but differ as to the
preferred application.
Wants New Plan.
Capital Transit wishes to intro
duce q new arbitration plan calling
for one arbitrator selected by the
company, one by the union and
three drawn from a panel Of nine
citizens, who would act as neutral,
nonprofessional members.
The union wishes to adhere to
the plan called for in the present
contract, by which each side names
q professional arbitrator and those
two select q third. impartial pro-
fessional member to serve as
chairman.
The company has rejected .
union demand for 25-cent
hourly wage increase as well as
fringe demands representing an
other 9-cent increase. The total
outlay would cost the company
another $4,000 a year and
would necessitate increased fares.
