Capital Transit
Offers Union
Pay Increase
AFL Official Replies
Proposed Contract
Is Not Satisfactory

The Capital Transit Co. today
Offered its union employees wage
increases and other benefits which
lit said would add SIS million a
year to its operating expenses.
Walter j. Bierwagen, president
and business agent for Division
$50, Amalgamated Association of
Street Railway and Motor Coach
Employees of America (AFL), said
the company offer would be re-
Ijected by the union as "insuff-
Icient."
A company spokesman said the
offer was final" 1--WE have gone
as far as possible" he said. THE
offer is a liberal one"
The company offered to increase
wages 13 cents an hour, raise pen
lSions $40 per month and liberal
Iize sick-leave provisions.
Negotiations Set for May.
Mr.. Bierwagen said the union
has notified the company that it
intends to begin negotiating for
IA new contract on May l. The
union has not had an opportunity
to formalize its demands, Mr..
IBierWagen said.
''The company's offer is pre-
mature and insufficient" Mr.. Bier
wagen said. THE proposed wage
increase is not in keeping with
wages in the industry as whole.
The proposed pension plan is
minute compared with what it
should be.
I'VE plan to go ahead with the
drafting of our contract demands
and we shall present them to the
company. as we have stated we
would, by May -
Mr.. Bierwagen said the union
would regard the offer announced
by the company today as pre-
liminary'' to contract talks.
Retroactive Raise Proposed.
The company proposed to grant
a wage increase of cents an
hour retroactive to April /, and
grant an additional 8 cents an
hour effective July l when the
present contract expires.
THE offer of the wage increase
was made after a studied con-
sideration of all the facts" COM
pany spokesman said. I'VE recog-
nice that living costs have in
creased and also that the United
States Government has indicated
in its wage stabilization policy a
pattern for such an increase"
& The company's offer to LIBERAL
ize sick leave benefits provides for
10 days of with pay a year,
cumulative to so days. Present
sick leave benefits equal seven
days pay a year, cumulative to
35 days.
Pension benefits are now $50
month in addition to Social Sc
curity payments.
The union won its last wage
increase in Decembe", 1949, when
an arbitration board awarded an
across-the-board raise of 10 cents
an hour. This was the fifth in
crease granted since the end of
the war.
By mutual agreement the con-
tract was renewed without change
last year. Two weeks ago the
union announced it intended to
reopen the contract and would
begin negotiating on May /. The
contract expires June 80.

Trying 10 Speed
Butler Inquiry
Executive Session
Apparently Brings
No Agreement
BY W. H. Shippen

| w. ss' S"sFFS"
Senators investigating the But
Ter campaign in Maryland held g
second executive session today ,ir
an effort to formulate a program
for shortening the public hearings
which opened February 20.
The four Senators apparently
had reached no substantial agree
ment after today's two-hour ses.
sion.
Chairman Monroney announced
that a third closed meeting viii
be held tomorrow morning. The
open hearings probably will be
resumed Tuesday morning with
former Senator Millard Tydings
as one of the first witnesses.
Meanwhile, Senator Butler, Re.
publican, of Maryland, was sched-
uled to go before the Republican
Policy Committee late today
Senator Butler is understood tc
believe that the subcommittee
should either prefer charges
against him or close the public
hearings.
Trying to Expedite Process.
Mr.. Tydings, whose charges that
he was defeated by smear" tao
tics led to the investigation, has
asked the subcommittee to inquire
Unto additional evidence of a ma
ture not as yet announced.
I'VE will hear any witness who
appears to have first-hand in
formation with a definite bearing
on the charges under investiga-
tion," Senator Monroney told re-
Iporters. 1--WE are trying to ex-
Ipedite this process by determin-
ing which witnesses can give us
useful information without pro-
longing the inquiry"
Senator Monroney said it has
not been agreed as yet as tc
whether witnesses not previously
listed will be asked to testify. The
Senators, the chairman explained
have been scanning the possible
testimony of witnesses to deter
mine if one or two can be called
instead of many.
Tydings Asks Further Inquiry.
Mr.. Tydings appeared be.
fore the subcommittee in execu-
tive session yesterday to ask that
additional evidence be investi.
gated.
Senator Monroney said Mr.
Tydings' additional evidence was
important enough to check"
Neither Mr.. Tydings nor Chair
man Monroney would discuss the
nature of the evidence.
Chairman Taft of the Republi-
can Policy Committee told a re.
porter that up to this date there
has been nothing shown against
Senator Butler that would suppor
any move to unseat him, so far as
I know.
From what I do know, methods
used in the Maryland campaign
were not as bad as those useo
against me in Ohio. If there were
any irregularities in the handling
of financial matters, then thai
is matter for prosecution under
the Maryland law"
Senator Taft apparently re.
ferred to testimony that Jon M
Jonkel, former Chicago public re.
lations council, and Senator But.
ler's campaign manager, received
and spent $4,000 in contribution!

Mrs. Lamont SoItzn1on Jones

He described it as an almost con-
tinuous emotional struggle after
the first year. He said Mrs. Justa
Jones was bored with house work
and did not want children.
"The marriage was just a shell
kept together by one catalytic
agent-the child" he said.
The attorney said that Mr.
Jones did the pursuing; that he
was head over heels in love" with
Mrs. Saltzman for three and a
half years before he told Mrs
Saltzman. Mr.. Williams also &C
cused Mrs. Justa Jones of having
an affair with a college student
while the Joneses were living to-
gether in New Jersey.
