Bus Union 10 Press
For Court Action on
| State Seizure Law

A union that has just COM
pleted an agreement with the
Arnold Bus Lines after a five
week strike, will continue to press
for a court decision challenging
the right of Virginia to seize
public utilities during walkouts
Seymour j. Spelman of Alex
andria. attorney for Local 1919,
Amalgamated ssocia tion of
Street, Electric Railway and
Motor Coach Employees, AFL.
said he has no intention to drop
the court action despite WedneS-
day nights settlement of the dis
pute in the Office of Representa-
tive Broyhill, Republican, of Vir-
ginia.
About 300 drivers will return
to work Monday in the Arnold
system, officially known as the
Washington. Virginia & Mary
land Coach Co. Maintenance
men already have returned to
work. Since they left their jobs
December 10, Gov. Battle ordered
the State to take over the line
under a law which authorizes
public seizure of a strike bound
utility if necessary to protect the
safety, health or welfare of the
public.
Last month the Richmond
Circuit Court denied the union S
petition for a temporary injunc-
ton against the State.
Another petition for a perma-
nent injunction and a declara-
tory Judgment will be heard later
in the same court.
Inasmuch as the State will be
out of the picture. as far as
operations are concerned. when
the hearing is held, there will
be no further need for a re-
straining order. But Mr.. Spell
man says the union will try to
obtain a judgment declaring the
State is in violation of the con-
stitution.
I'VE contend that the statute
on the books is a continuing
weakening of the unions posi-
tion," Mr.. Spelman said. 1T re-
duces the effectiveness of a strike
and therefore makes it impos-
sible for labor to sit down as
equals with management in ne
gotiating new contracts. The law
is an impairment to labor's
rights"
Mr.. Spelman indicated his in
tention to appeal fright to the
top" if necessary.
Meanwhile, there was a snag
in arrangements for mechanics
to return to work yesterday
morning, but this was ironed
out by afternoon. At first, State
representatives were trying to
force the returning workers to
sign papers which would have
placed them in the category of
new employees without regard to
seniority. union spokesman
said.
The Arlington Republican Ex-
ecutive Committee announced
today it had adopted a resolu-
ton commencing Representa-
tive Broyhill for his part in
bringing opposing factions to-
gether IN the dispute.

formed on a certain number of

He should do so at least once every

there is no fire protection due to
small one inch or two inch water
lines.
The plan is to provide six inch
water lines for the distribution
system to provide water for home
consumption and fire protection,
and it is proposed to install thir-
/ ty-nine thousand feet of new water
lines at an estimated cost of $780,
600.
New sewer lines are. needed and
/ it is proposed to install thirty-six
thousand feet of new sewer lines,
at an estimated cost of $4,000.
In addition to this, six thousand
feet of larger sewer lines are to be
placed to relieve the Marshall
street sewer line which is over
loaded, new pumps to be installed
at the main pumping station, and a
lift station at the disposal plant
to take care of the sewer lines in
the Third Ward. Several other lift
and pumping stations will be need
ed, and these are estimated to cost
$69,225.
Other costs involved are for en-
gineeFing services for surveys. de-
sign, and construction of the new
lines, as well as legal fees, and
repaving of streets, so that a total
bond issue of 100000 is required
to handle this work.
It must be pointed out that this
proposal does not include storm
sewers, and storm sewers would
cost more than sanitary sewers to
install. Since the amount of the
bond issue is limited by the Char
ter, that is, 1870 of the assessed
valuation of the city, there could
be no provision for storm sewers
Every year the city spends 500
600 to $25,OOO for sewer and water
lines, sOa councils idea is to do
all the work at one time and nav
for 1t over the next thirty years at
the usual rate at which the money
would be spent. Thus some of the
people will not have to wait twen-
" or thirty years for these utili-
ties.
The sewer tax varies, but will
probably average not less than
$4,000 a year, and the average in
terest on the bond issue over the
thirty year period will be about
$4,000 a year. Therefore. the
amount of money collected on sew
er taxes will more than take care
OF the interest on the bond issue
The conclusion arrived at bv
council is that it will not be nee
essary to raise taxes to take care
OF the bond issue, and at present
there is no intention of increasing
taxes IN any way for any purpose
Since city council feels that the
many new home owners are on
titled to sewer and water services
and fire protection, and since the
bond issue provides an easv and
adequate way of financing the
work without any increase in taxes
