ing a three-year period are in
excess of $2.6 million and at the

effeetive April l. 1857, S cents eff
fective November l. 1857, and 5
cents effective November /, 1853.
Management has indicated
hat If this proposal is otherwise
acceptable it could advance one
or more of the dates involved"
/ He said the modification of his
arbitration proposal has dropped
a requirement that it be limited
to issues involving less than
l$500,000, or to require that any
arbitration recognize his claim to
a 6l2 per cent profit. n
Stresses Rate of Profit
Mr.. Chalk said the new arbi.
tration proposal would only re-
quire an arbitration board to
take note of and give due
weight to the language Of his
20 year congressional franchise
which says he should be entitled
to earn a Gle per cent profit.
Mr.. Chalk put these price tags
on his proposal:
Wage costs. calculated at the
rate of 100000 for each / cent
per hour increase. would equal
81 $4,000 over the three-year
period.
He said it would cost the
company $4,000 to assume va
cations accrued under the old
Capital Transit management;
100000 to grant union vacation
demands, starting i'll the second
year of the contract: $40. 900
to grant a union demand for an
eighth holiday. effective in the
first year of the contract wet
Grams Day; 100000 to pay
time and-a-half holiday pay for
all holidays, even if they should
fan on an employees day off.
lnis would be effective in the
third year of the contract.
Offers Annual Contributions
Mr.. Chalk also proposed an
annual contribution of $4,000
to a children's clinic, and an
additional payment of $4,000 a
year to the health and welfare
fund.
He estimated that it would
cost $4,000 to guarantee lex
ira" operators seven hours a
day of work within a 38-hour
week, as compared to the pres
ent guarantee of six hours a
day within a 35-hour week. This
would be effective August Is,

to reduce spread time" effec-
tive in the third year. Under

Chalk Outlines Terms
He said the union demand for
arbitration of the contract now
under negotiation had just been
made for the first time.
He outlined the terms of his
Sunday proposal. which was a
modification of an earlier COM
pany offer turned down Wednes-
day night in a Stool vote by
the union. At that time. union
mass meeting authorized its Ex-
ecutive Board to call a strike
after midnight tomorrow.
Mr.. Chalk said that he had
modified his latest proposal at
IL pm. yesterday to remove any
limitation on arbitration of dis
putes unresolved by collective
bargaining In future contracts
He stressed that this did not re-
fer to the present contract.
Offers 3-Year Pact
His Sunday contract proposal
is pages long. was similar in
major outline to his package
offer of last Wednesday. It
called for a Swear contract: and
offered to assume responsibility
for vacations workers would
have earned with the old Capital
Transit Co., which Mr.. Chalk
bought out last August IS.
Major change was in timing
of proposed hour
wage increase spread over the
3-year contract period. Origi-
nally, Mr.. Chalk proposed to
freeze into the base pay of D. C
Transit employees the 2-cent cost
of living wage increase granted
within the last six months. plus
5 cents on next April /. another
5 cents November /, 1857, and
a third cents November /,
1858. The contract would expire
August Ia, 1859.
His new proposal would also
freeze the 2-cent cost-of Living
increase into the base pay, but
would grant another 2 cents an
hour Immediately, retroactive to
August Is. The date when Mr..
Chalk bought out the Capital

wage increase would go into
effect April / and the other
two nickel increases would go
into effect on the same dates
he had outlined before.
Differ on Length
Mr.. Bierwagen said the union
had rejected Mr.. Chalk's modi-
fled Sunday offer as virtually
the same contract that was
rejected" by the membership
meeting last Wednesday.
He said one major issue was
the term of the contract. The
union originally asked for a one
year contract. but Mr.. Bierwagen
said it would consider a two
year contract. And Mr.. Chalk
has been willing to discuss only
a three-year contract.
Mr.. BierWagen said that a
union strike committee started
plans for a walkout yesterday
and had prepared rules. regula-
tons and procedures for report

this event could become one of
the Nations finest track and

That's a fast track the Marines

AS Davis said later: I'D like to
try this track in three or four
years. BY that time it should be
the fastest in the country"
Speculation now settles around
two who performed at Quantico

a track star by accident.
Fred's father who also is his

Williams Holds
Public Workout
For Jackson

Johnny Williams. the British
fighter who takes on Tommy
tHurricane) Jackson at Uline
Arena Friday night. was ready
to give Washington fight fans a
first glimpse at his boxing style
in public workouts today at the
gymnasium at 419 Ninth street
N. w.
He arrived here late yesterday
after flying in from England
Saturday, and will put on his
public drills today. tomorrow and
Wednesday at 2 pm.
Williams, the former British
heavyweight champion. is an
impressive looking specimen,
standing 6-foot-1 and weighing
1856 pounds. He claims to be in
excellent condition and looks It.
Apparently he is a very hard
gymnasium worker.
Right after his arrival Satur-
day he did some roadwork and
boxed at the Newark A. c., and
yesterday he went out for more
roadwork despite the snow up
there.
Accompanying Williams are
his manager, Ted Broadribb
and Babe Culnan. their Ameri-
can representative. Broadribh
is a real veteran of the fight
game who used to be a feather
weight fighter himself before he
turned to handling others. He
brought Tommy Farr to this
country for a l5-round stand
against Joe Louis when Louis
was champion and he regards
Williams as better fighter than
Farr.
Tommy might have been a
shade more rugged" Broadribb
said. but Johnny is a smarter
boxer. He's the worlds gamest
and he hits harder than FAIR,
and you may remember that
Farr was quite a tough puncher. "
Broadribb said that he has
seen Jackson and also has Sec
onded against him, and declared
that If anybody gets knocked
out Friday night. it won't be
Williams.

Whether the Marine Corps

nual spring fixture at Quantico
lies with the Marine brass. The
expense. the foul weather and
the small irritations that plague
the first running Of all big an
nual track meets have caused
some encouragement among
those who worked the hardest to
make the event success.
AS one Marine put it: "I don't
know whether they'll want to
make it an annual thing now.
You couldn't call it an over
whelming success"
Nor was it a failure. it says
here. About 1000 athletes COM

sonable to assume that a good
