planned that Mr.. Donohue is in
New York trying a lawsuit and
was unable to be present.
Mr.. Donohue declared, II re-
sent the universal inclination to
blame the present difficulties on
Louis E. Wolfson. The head
lines in the press have been too
much like the screams of a
lynch-hungry mob, and I am
sorry to say. that some of the
honorable members of the Sem
ate have contributed to the de-
pressing spectacle"
Mr.. Donohue characterized Mr.
WolfSon as "as fine, as decent,
as honorable and fortnight a
person as I have ever met. He is
as good a friend of labor as any
union can hope to find.
Should he be singled out for en-
nifty and wild accusations be-
cause he was bright enough and
fortunate enough to be able to
trade his workman's clothes for
the suit of a Businessman"
Mr.. Donohue urged the COM
mittee mot to permit emotion
and hysteria to outweigh facts
and reason in a consideration of
the present distressing transit
situation in Washington"

called Mr.. Donohue lone of the
ablest stump speakers in the

ter of getting the legislative
change approved quickly.
Mr.. Hagerdorn's letter made it
clear that the change in Roose-
velt Association trustees posi-
tion - heretofore strenuously
against any southern crossing of
the island-was reached after
considerable soul-searching.
ION the one hand they have
the obligation. bequeathed to
them by their predecessors. to
defend the integrity and sanctity
of the island as an area of wild
solitude in the very heart of the
Nation" the letter said.
ON the other. the trustees
recall the part that Mr.. Roosevelt
as President played in conserving
and developing the grand plan
of the National Capital. They
remember that he encouraged,
supported and defended the Nc
MILAN Commission in its U90D
efforts to salvage and revitalize
the L'Enfant plan, and that he
established the National Com
mission OF Fine Arts to watch
over the plans development in
the future.
Facing this dilemma, with
loyalty to their conception of
their memorial on the one side
and the preservation of the es-
thetic harmony of the national
Capital on the other, the Execu-
tive Committee of the Associa-
ton have recognized that. not
only as American citizens proud
of their Nations Capital city,
but as trustees of the association
loyal to the civic vision of the
man they seek to commemorate,
their paramount obligation is to
the National Capital.
i They have, therefore, agreed
to approve, in principle, the con-
struction of a low-level bridge
across South Island, provided
that the proposed bridge shall be
named the Theodore Roosevelt
Bridge. that it provide access to
the main island, and that its
design be approved by the Ma
tional Commission of Fine Arts u
! To Drop Ike's Development
), The letter also noted that the
island-crossing would require "a
radical revision of the associa-
tion's conception of the island
as a sanctuary from the rush
and tumult of modern life"
In fact. Park officials said, il
the new bridge plan goes through
they will scrap extensive plans
already in the mill for the
islands development.
Included, subject to later de-
velopment plans, will be re-

Joint Conference Called
To Initiote Bargaining

Il. c. Hayes was asked by Senator
Morse at yesterday Senate Dis
trict subcommittee hearing
whether the commission could
legally grant q fare increase to
cover labor costs alone. He was
answered in the affirmative.
Senator Morse then asked
whether the commission would
take that course of action
should the disputants reach an
agreement.
The answer to that" replied
Mr.. Hayes, lis yes"
Mr.. Hayes was asked by The
Star how firm was the commit
ment to grant emergency funds
for such settlement. Mr.. Hayes
said the commission almost
surely would accept any agree
ment entered into by the COM
pany and union and put through
an interim rate increase for
labor costs alone pending COM
lpletion of the full rate case.
This might mean the public
would face an immediate fare
increase and a second one after
completion of the full rate case.
Transit to Study Plan
E. Cleveland Giddings, COM
pany vice president, said the
company would study the pro-
posals. His first reaction was
that the commission could just as
rapidly put through the present
rate petition, which he said in
Icluded labor costs. The commits
sion said "the present hearing in
no way involves the question of
the possible cost to Capital Tran
sit Co. of any settlement with its
employees"
The commission also said the
possibility of other financial re-
lief in the present crisis"
should be exhausted. This was
construed to mean the pending
legislation to advance school
fares from 3 to 10 cents and to
relieve the company of the gross
receipts tax. These two items
would realize about 100000 in
new revenues.
The plan could work hand
Iin-glove with efforts by Chair
man Nicely and Senator Morse
of the Senate District Com
mittee to halt the strike 60
days during arbitration efforts.
But the company so far has re-
fused any arbitration tie-in.
The greatest hope short of a
truce" would be for the COM
lpany and union to satisfy them
selves that the P. U. c. offer is
the answer. and then settle down
to some head-knocking bargain
ing.
Behind them is the shadow of
controlled operation of the
struck lines. Yesterday Repre-
sentative Hoffman, Republican
of Michigan. put in the second
such bill. In this, he would force
the company to operate for so
days with any labor it could find
while presidentially appointed
committee attempted to set a
fair wage. fair fare and fair
return on the company's in
IveStment."
The Union Policy Committee,
composed of officers, board mem
bers, shop stewards and strike
captains. has decided to start
daily membership meetings next
Monday.
The membership will meet in
two sections at 10 am. and /
pm. each day at Union Hall,
1912 Ninth street NV, to keep
abreast of strike developments.

labor bills have been introduced.
The company is under fire by a
Senate subcommittee bent on
lifting its franchise. Tempers
are calculated to rise even higher
next week when Louis E. Wolf
son. the company's absentee
board chairman. comes in for a
bout with the subcommittee.
Today Senator Morse, Demo-
crat of Oregon, who wants to
cancel the company's franchise.
said it appears the District Com
missioners now have the duty of
offering a specific plan for pro-
viding transportation pending
the strikes settlement.
The company demonstrated by
its refusal to accept a 60-day ar
bitration plan suggested by him
and Chairman Nicely of the Sen
ate District Committee that it
has no intention of resuming
service except on its own terms,
Senator Morse said.
Up to now the company has
refused to bulge bargainwise
until it has definite promise of
increased revenues to meet the
additional costs of wage in
creaSes and other benefits. On
the other hand the union has
refused to consider any settle
ment conditioned on whether the
company is able to get more
revenue.
That makes the commission a
pivotal agent in this game in
which money is the sole factor.
For company officials spelled out
clearly yesterday before the Nc
Namara Senate subcommittee
that they favor better wages and
working conditions for the work.
Iers.
To define what it can and
cannot do toward making avail
able money as quickly as possible,
the utility commission got out q
formal statement. The commits
sioners said they did not want
any misconceptions which would
cause the disputing parties to
l"overlook possible avenues OF
settlement"
] Quick Action on Fares
The P. U. c. said it had no COIL
troll over management-labor re-
lations of Capital Transit and
no power to pass upon any pos
Isible future costs as long as they
are in the realm of speculation.
But the statement continued:
If and when management and
the striking employees come to
a negotiated agreement between
themselves, it would be within
the rights of the Capital Tran
sit Co. to present the increased
costs to the commission and to
request the commission to give
immediate effect to a rate in
crease designed solely to offset
the increased labor costs in
Cured in the new contract.
"T'he commission considers
that it does have the authority
to hear such an appeal by the
company and to grant such re-
lief as may be warranted pending
the completion of the full rate
case"
The commission added that it
then would complete as rapidly
as possible hearings on a present
fare increase petition begun
June 81. The company is asking
for an increase of from IS to
80 cents on the price of five
tokens and elimination of the
weekly pass.
