Text of Unions RepIy
To I ronsit Firm Offer

The teIt of the letter from
Walter J. Bierwdgen. transit
union president. to the Com
ntiSsioners on the proposal to
1rithdrdto the transit company
tollotns::
We have been informed of
the contents Of Mr.. Broad
waters letter to you, dated July
2s, 1855, and proposing that
Capital Transit Co. is prepared
10 give UP its franchise under
certain stated conditions. This
letter by Mr.. Broadwater.
backed by "Mr. Wolfson and
his family" but subject to rati-
fcation by all stockholders. is
addressed to you as Commits
sioners. We are affected by this
proposal first, as employees, and
second, as citizens of the Dis
trict.
"As employees Of the Capital
Transit Co., we see in this latest
company letter only another at
tempt to delay the process Of
collective bargaining and to
postpone indefinitely the date
Of an agreement between us.
This proposal is anything but a
good faith proposal; it is a
fantastic grandstand plan.
This proposal demonstrates
that this management Is not
interested in operating this
transit system as a permanent
enterprise. The proposal has
implicit in it. as its real goal,
the unloading upon the people
of the District of Columbia OF
the company's property at an
unconscionable price.
Poses Many Questions
This proposal raises many
questions. 1t should be noted
that the Wolfson proposal con-
tains no plan for the settlement
of the labor dispute. =.
Is the owner of Capital Transit
TO have no obligations either to
the community or to his en-
ployeS?
What happens at the end of
the year when and if Mr.. Wolfson
walks away from Capital Transit?
Does he take his equipment
with him?
Does he take up the tracks and
repave the streets?
Does he get a fancy price for
his second hand buses and troll
leys?
What happens if, at the end
of the period of official notifica-
ton to the stockholders, Mr..
Wolfson's stockholders vote down
this proposal?
What happens to the COM
pany's cash reserve of $4,000, 900?
Time Lag Feared
1t is obvious that it would take
time to obtain the new kind of
legislation that Mr.. Wolfson now
says he wants. It will take time
to call the stockholders together
to vote on such q proposition. It
will take more time to enter into
and draft an agreement with our
union. "
Aside. however. from our i'm
mediate and direct interest in
this proposal as employees of the
company, we are also vitality con-
cerned with 1t as members Of
this community. exactly as are
the other people Of the District.
AS such. we see in this innocent
sounding proposal q greedy
scheme to force the people tol
purchase the company's property
at an exorbitant figure.
What does Mr.. Wolfson mean
by the securing Of a guarantee
that the "costs of operation will
be met? The net worth of the
company's stock, according to
the company's accounts, is
shown as amounting to about
S21 100000 as of December 81, |
1854. This means that in the
guise of guarantee that the
costs of operation will be met
Mr.. Wolfson seeks to obtain,
through this scheme, a recogni-
tion by the people Of the District
that the net worth of the COM
pany is now $21, 100000.
