T runsit to Run
In Baltimore

BALTIMORE, Mar. 7 tR.-As
far as foot-weary Baltimoreans
are concerned, the flve-week -old
transit strike will be over Friday
morning. It will take that long
to get the equipment back in
operation.
But to the Baltimore Transit
Co. and its union workers, the
issues that caused the walkout
are far from settled. The buses
and trolleys will move only be-
cause the State seized the system
and ordered it back in opera
ton.
The strikers, members of the
Amalgamated Association of
Street, Electric Railway and Mo-
tor Coach Employees. agreed at a
meeting yesterday to abide by
the State directive. No vote was
taken.
While they were meeting, tram
sit officials petitioned the Public
Service Commission for a fare
hike from 10 to 20 cents, effec-
tive with the resumption of serv-
ice.
The operators and mainte-
nance men quit January 80 to
enforce their demand for a Is
cent pay raise over their present
$1.90. Later they trimmed this
to a 10-cent increase now and
10 cents more in July, in a one
year contract. The company's
top offer has been an 18-cent
hike in three-year contract.
Maryland's new seizure law
calls for continued negotiations
between the company and union.
If no agreement has been
reached in so days after seizure,
compulsory arbitration is called
for

originally signed the suit.
Mrs. Barbara Marx and Mr..

CitizensAsked
For Proposals
On New Laws

State legislators in Montgom-

citizens and organizations for
early submission of legislative
proposals for the January term
of the Maryland General As
sembly.
State Senator Edward S.
Northrop and Delegate Blair Lee
III, chairman of the county dele
cation, said they wanted to get
an early start on the 1857 pro-
gram of local legislation. The
session beginning January 2 will
be the last 90-day session during
their present terms of office.
They asked public agencies,
civic and trade organizations and
private citizens to submit their
legislative proposals to the dele
cation not later than October /.
They said:
we recall too clearly the 90
day session of 1855. The pres
sure of time made it necessary
to hold public hearings at An
napolis during the session, often
requiring witnesses to drive
through snowstorms at night.
Opportunity for careful study
of proposed legislation was re-
duced to a bare minimum"
They said the proposals sub
mitted will be given immediate
publicity and public hearings
will be held in November and
December. Hearings can be
held in the county instead of
Annapolis and interested groups
will have time to consider the
legislation. they said.
They added that the bulk of
local legislation can be intro
duced early in the session, avoid
ing last-minute jams and free
ing the county delegation for
more time on important nom
local legislation.
Sponsors of legislation should
submit their proposals in writ
ing to Senator Northrop or to
any member of the House of
Delegates from the county. The
delegates are Mr.. Lee, Mrs.
