CITIZENS TO SEEK CHEAPER UTILITIES Conference Decides to Fight for Lower Gas, Electricity and Street Car Rates. PLAN TO FORCE MERGER Vote to Ask for Different Fare Rates on Car Lines to Compel United Operation. Lower rates for gas, electricity and Street-car service will be sought by a score of citizens’ associations rep- resented at a conference in the board- room of the District building last night. On the street-car question, the nfarence decided to fight for a rn to the former rate of 7 cents cash or four tokens for cents, with universal transfers. Later in the evening they adopted a resolution made by William McK. Clayton, ask- ing the commission to fix differen rates of fare for the Capital Trac tion and the Washington Railway and Electric companies, if the mem- bers find that such action would hast- en a merger. The meecting voted to ask the co mission for “reasonable reductions” in the ratees for gas and electricity, ieaving their representatives who appear at the hearings fres to advo- cate whatever rates seem proper aft- er listening to the evidence. Not to Press Inquiry. The conference defeated by a tie vote a motion offered by W. L. Swan- ton of Columbia Heights - requesting President Harding to “inquire care- fully into the qualifications of all candidates for Commissioners of the District of Columbia, who must serve as members of the Public Utilities Commission of the District’" Before the motion went to a Vote several speakers urged the meeting not to pass it, pointing out that the conference was called for the specific purpose of discussing the forthcom- ing rate cases. Mr. Clayton, who is chairman of the utilities committee of the Fed- eration of Citizens' Associations, told the delegates assembled last night that, while the Public Utilities Com- mission cannot force a merger, it can induce the two street railway companies to consolidate. “And the quickest way to induce Mr. Clayton continued, tub stand on its own what it needs to earn a fair return and do the same with the Capital Traction Company. Such a course, in_my opimion, will bridge the gap between the roads quicker than any- thing else.” Mr. Clayton told the delegates there no law to justify the commission n giving the Capital Traction Com- pany more money than it needs. The citizens, he said, have gone with the commission on this question for more than a year, but believe the time has come to Stop handing the Cap- ital Traction Company unsought rev- enue. George Ward of Columbia Heights Citizens’ Association made a _strenuous speech against a merger of the street railways, claiming it would only add another monopoly to Washington. Several delegates took sue with him. asserting that in the e of public_utilities united peration is more efficient than com- tition. | Representatives from a number of women's organizations attended the ference.
