Capital Transit Reports
S1l,788 Loss in July

The Capital Transit Co. had
a net loss of $11,788 from July
operations. compared with q net
profit of $48.244 in July, 1853,
it reported to the District Public
Utilities Commission in Wash
ington yesterday.
The July deficit was announced
following a board meeting, at
which the regular quarterly divi-
dend was reduced from 40 cents
to 20 cents a share, in accord
ance with an agreement with
the utilities commission.
July operating revenues. the
company reported, totaled $2,-
173.427-a drop of IA per cent
from revenues Of $2.346,373 iii
July q year ago. The figures re-
fleet further loss Of patronage.
more than offsetting the higher
fares granted earlier this year.
Operating expenses for July
amounted to $780, 74--a de-
cline Of 80 per cent from ST.
949, 243 In July last year. The
number Of passengers was 28.1
per cent behind figures Of q
year ago. but the company again
emphasized that changes In
counting practices were respon-
sible for some Of the big drop.
Net income for the first seven
months Of this year totaled $685.
346--a decrease of lag per cent
from the $638 .499 netted In the
same period of last year. OPP
Grating revenues Of $15.764,l29
were down IA per cent. while
operating expenses of $12,986, 4O8
were of only 2 per cent. The
passenger total dropped 23.4 per
cent for the period. without any
allowance for the changed basis
The latest report again showed
that loss Of patronage has more
than Offset the benefits Of higher
fares and that the company has
found 1t impossible to reduce
expenses proportionately.

E
hediaio J Try
For Accord in
Hotels Dispute
hreot Of Strike
On Convention Eve
Spurs Peace Talks

. The Federal Mediation and
Cancellation Service sought to
lay the groundwork today for
peaceful settlement Of the con-
tract dispute which threatens q
strike Of hotel workers at the
height Of the big American Le-
gion convention.
Commissioner Gilbert s. Me-
Cutcheon planned to continue
separate talks on the issues with
Henry Kaiser, attorney for the
unions. and Joseph G. McGar-
raghy. attorney for the Hotel
Association Of Washington. prior
to any calling Of joint session
Both sides have expressed
hope that q strike of some 5000
members OF five local AFL
unions at the expiration of a
contract with the % major ho-
tells here next Tuesday night can
be avoided.
Optimistic View.
The picture was somewhat
frightened by the fact that in
recent years contract agreements
have been reached on the eve Of
threatened walkouts. There was
a full-scale strike in 1916 when
hotel workers walked out for 20
days, and one other, q 19-day
strike in 1889.
Last year, agreement followed
a 28-hour continuous mediation
session. That dispute threatened
to inconvenience many of the
Nations bankers, then in town
for q four-day convention.
Meanwhile. the hotel workers
were scheduled to ballot today at
their union halls on whether a
strike should be called this time
if no settlement is reached by the
time the contract expires.
Seek I0-Cent Raise.
The unions are asking a 10
cents-an-hour wage raise, more
holidays, longer vacations and
other benefits.
Hotel and union representa-
tives have met three times on
the issues. twice in July and
once this month.
Mr. McGarraghy said that the
union has made economic de-
naafldS which the hotel group
has not been able to accept: He
said figures have been given the
unions indicating that occupancy
is down S per cent from last
year, when it fell S per cent be-
low 1852.
The unions are Joined under
the Joint Executive Board. IIo-
tel and Restaurant Employees
and Bartenders' International
Union.

Arlington Chamber
Urges Members 10
Shun Program Ads

The Arlington Chamber Of
Commerce is advising its mem
bers not to buy advertisements
In q dance program of the AR
lington Police Beneficial Asso-
citation because they say a pro-
fessional collection agency gets
three-fourths of the money.
Robert johnson, managing di-
rector of the chamber, is sending
letters TO merchants recommend
ing that they support the dance
instead by purchasing tickets
from policemen. All proceeds
from ticket sales go to the police
association, Mr.. Johnson said.
The letter was authorized by
the chambers Board of Di-
rectors, Mr.. Johnson said, after
it learned of the collection setup
for the dance program.
See Cause Worthwhile.
"We think the cause is worth
while, and we are not question
ing the integrity of the collec-
ton firm said Mr.. johnson.
It's the principle of the thing.
The police only get one fourth Of
the money collected for ads in
the dance program. 1t would
break county merchants if every
drive was like this"
The police dance is scheduled
to be held September 10.
Steve Rose, vice president and
manager of the firm handling
the police program declared:
What they fail to say is that
the Is per cent net received by
the police association is free and
clear The police gamble nothing
and all expenses. including print
ing, soliciting, collecting, tele-
phone bills and my salary are
paid from the cornpany's share"
Mr.. Rose said the firms
profit is t.far less than what the
police make He estimated the
firm will net from Is to Is per
cent of the gross receipts.

Democrats Join
'ByrdWagon'in
al The Fair
McKeldin to Lead
Parade Of Floats
In Program Tonight

DR.. Harry G. Byrd, unoficial
Democratic nominee for Cover
nor, rode q horse-drawn farm
wagon through the Montgomery
County Fair grounds last night
in his first public appearance
since the apparent windup Of
the battle over the recount.
With him. in slightly cramped
style, were some 20 candidates
seeking Office on the Democratic
ticket In the county.
It was University Of Maryland
day and obviously Democratic
night at the fair in Gathers
burg.
Tonight the Republicans take
over, and Gov. McKeldin is ex-
pected to travel the same route
in a horseless carriage.
Champions Parade Tonight.
Gov. McKeldin will lead the
parade Of floats designed BY the
Home Maker Clubs of the county.
which will tell the story of Mary
lands history. Also on tonight's
schedule is the parade OF chaua-
pions and fireworks display.
DR.. Byrd and the other candi-
dates had q fried chicken and
ham dinner at the fair.
Then they went to the arena.
where they shared the field with
the Marine Drum and Bugle
Corps and drill team. the Gym
Kama Group from the Univer-
sity of Maryland and the horse
pulling contest.
The candidates had little time
for speeches.
But DR.. Byrd did promise the
crowd a four-pofht program Of
action If he Is elected: More
women in government, more help
for the farmers, an adequate road
system for Montgomery County
and a greater return to the coun-
ty of taxes paid to the State.
The genial former University
Of Maryland president made no
mention Of his opponent or the
record of the Republican admin
istration.
Later he told the press he an
ticipateS a smooth convention
when Democratic delegates meet
on Monday to make his noni-
nation official.
He said he was sure there
would be unanimity in the seiec-
ton OF q chairman. He added.
however, he was withholding
until Monday any other COM
ment on the craftsmanship.
DR.. Byrd's primary campaign
manager. e. Brooke Lee, several
weeks ago withdrew from the
Craftsmanship race. after DR..
Byrd declined to state asprefer-
ence for the selection.
Plans Wider Campaign.
DR.. Byrd said a committee will
be named to handle his cam
paign which would be much
wider" than in the primary. He
said the main job will fall on
the various county central com.
mittees, but the campaign will
be co-ordinated from Baltimore
headquarters.
Edward j. Ryan, Democratic
nominee for Congress from the
Sixth District. attacked the Re-
publican Administrations farm
record.
Farm income has declined 90
billion since the Republicans took
over" he charged. He said Vice
President Nixon was forced to 70
on the air to apologize" for the
administrators failure to carry
out its campaign promises Of 90
per cent parity payments.
Edward S. Northrop, candi-
date for the State Senate, carried
the ball for the local ticket.

County officlalS say the pipe
will throw 300 gallons OF water

onto Mr.. WOODS properly.
The county attorneys office
says there is no legal doubt that
the county can carry out its plan.
He contends no water is being
diverted. since the land naturally
drains toward the brook on Mr..
Woods lawn.
But it will speed up the drain
OF, eat out the present stream
bed and concentrate the water,
causing more serious flooding Of
Mr.. Woods lawn.
