W. R. & E. Report for March. The Washington Railway and Elec- tric Company has not yet submitted its April statement, but the records for March show that company also is hauling fewer people than it did last_year, but the reduction has not been” as marked as on the other system. In March of this year the Wash- ington Railway and Electric hauled 5.568.595 people; the City and Sub- urban, 1,586,195 the Georgetown and Tenleytown, 133,289. and the Wash- ington Interurban. 44,426. This made a total of 7,332,505 on the Washing- ton Railway and Electric system dur- ing March. In March, 192 Railway and Electric carried 5.689,- 128; the City and Suburgan, 1,646.666 the Georgetown and Tenleytown, 155,- 293. and the Washington Interurban, 44,142, This made a total for the Washington Railway and Electric system for that moath of 7,535,229, These figures reveal a reduction of about 200,000 on the Washington Rall- way and Electric system this March, as compared with last March. In March 1920, the Capital Traction Company reported a total of 8,845,093 passengers, while in March of this year the company's statement shows 3,413.354 passengers. Although Capital Traction traffic for March and April of this vear was considerably Jower than for the same months of 1920, it was heavier than the trafic during January and Feb- ruary of this year. A steady reduction in the force of war workers in Washington is be- lieved to be the biggest factor in the reduction of street car traffic, especially in the Potomac Park, served largely by the Capital Traction Company. . Still further cuts in the government Aepartments may be made during the next few montha. Wil File Plea for Lower Rate. W. B. Westlake, president of the Federation of Citizens’ Associations, said today his organization probably would file with the Utilities Commis- sion tomorrow its application for a reduction in the rate of fare on the Capital Traction system. The pe tion will be based on the assertion of that company following the merger conferences last week that it is will- ing to.operate now on a lower fare. It was generally conceded at the District dullding today that the Utili- ties Commission has the right to re- open the fare question at this time. . George E. Hamiiton, president of the Capital Traction, said today he pre- ferred not to discuss the fare ques- tion until the federation has filed its petition It Is 1ot expected the federation will ask for mny specific reduction in ti Capital Traction rate, leaving it to the commisston to determine from its rec- ords just what rate the Capital Trac- tion should have.

GIVES 50,000 LESS THAN LIVING WAGE, SAYS UNION purchasing power of a dollar. Mr. Steward sald if a dependable classi- fication is established, it would be possible to take standard government reports on the cost of living and de- Vise wages o that there would be a direct relation between compensa- rion paid for government service and the factors that go to make up the cost of living. Representative Black at this point jreferred to the provision in the Ster- ling-Lehlbach — bill which provides that in a reclassification there shall be no interference with the present pay of an employe which may be greater than the amount that would be paid for work of similar character under the proposed new system. He said that if an employe were placed in a grade where the compensation Would be less than the amount he is now receiving, his salary should be cut 8o that he would stand upon an €qunl footing with the other members of that group. Must Be No Discrepancies. No other plan would be in line with etandardization of government work is the opinion of Representative Black, who also expressed the view that the Joint committee could not afford to go before Congress with the recommen- dation which would permit of any dis- crepancies favoring employes who may be receiving greater compensa- tion at present than they would be entitled to recelve under classitication: theiproposed Mr. Steward expressed the opinion that the inequalities which might arise under the conditions alluded to by Representative Black could be erased in course of time through administrative * acts, particularly through failure to make appoint- ments to positions which at present pay more than they would pay under the reclassification. In other words, these poeitions, if they were made vacant by resignations or other nat- ural causes, could be dropped, while appointments could be made to new positions calling for performance of practically the same duties at the standard rates of pay specified under the classification. Dismissal Policy Lacking. That the joint committee is inter- ested not only in the question of fair compengation “for government em- ployes, but the maintenance of a fair method for dismissing inefficient em- ployes, was indicated by Qquestions asked by Representative [Lehlbach testimony. Under _cross-examination by House member, Mr. Steward there is no dismissal policy in the government service the said t presen: xcept 1 er, who handled such matters. i:: witness sald the provision in some of the classification bills now pending in Congress providing for manda tory dimmissal when employes are in- efficient undoubtedly is a Wise meas- ure. He expreased the view that pro- motions as well as dismissals should be handled by an impartial ageney. Following Mr. Steward. John Fitz- gerald of New York. first vice presi- dent of the National Federation of Federal Employes, and representing .000 government workers in ew York. told_the joint committee that the New York employves favor the Sterling-Lehlbach bill over any other classification measure that has been introduced in Congress.

Urges Board of Appeal It is reasonable to suppose, Mr. Fitzgerald said, that mistakes will be made in the classification and alloca- tion work, and for this reason it is hoped there will be a permanent agency to consider appeals and also to consider from time to time the question of adjusting salaries so that there might be maintained constant definite relations between compensa- tion and the cost of living. The witness urged the joint com- mittee to use its best efforts to bring about classification legislation at the earliest time possible, pointing out that the bonus system now in effect will expire July 1, next year, and that unless some provision is made by that time to offset the loss in pay that will result from the expiration of the bonus payment there will be great dissatistaction among govern- ment employes d doubtless exten- sive resignations from the service genera'l Seny ) witrn n sicholson inquired of the ‘n his opinion, promotions rnment service under the assification system should ule of senfority.

Two delicate situations in interna- tional affairs, involving future relations between the United States and Mexico on the one hand and the United States and Japan on the other, have progressed to the vital point where tho Department of State hopes irritating comments from the press of the three countries will be avoided so that a satisfactory settle- ment can be reached. Optimism as to the clearing up of the two disputes is plainly reflected here. but the job ahead of Secretary Hughes in_negotiating with the Obregon gov- ernment on the question of recognition is one on which the Wilson administra tion was able to make little headway the thing was handled, for the Harding regime has asked for practically {same thing from Mexico, but because the Mexican authorities believed they could get better terms from the republi- { cans than from the democrats. Playing Carefal G Mexico is playing a careful game— no pressure has been exerted to ob- tain recognition from the United States. no outward effort has been made that could be denounced by the anti-American elements in Mexico as an attempt to curry favor with the United States. On the other hand, President Obregon needs the recog- nition of the United States, because it means recognition by th: other | governments of the world. It means i economic stimulus and a funding of Mexico's external ami internal debt through foreign loans. To put the question on a material basis. however, would only give President Obregon’s enemies a chance to start a revolution against him. The United States, on the other hard. cannot afford to acoept oral assur- ances. Previous governments in Mexico have given and then ignored written assurances. Whether the assurances are em- bodied in a protocol or any other form of an agreement. it is confident ly expected that a definite promise will be given by the Mexican govern- ment to treat Americans and their interests equitably or else recognition will be inevitably withheld. The Mex- ican government has insisted that to sign a protocol would be humiliating and would give internal factions an opportunity to raise the cry that Obregon “has sold out to the Amer- icans.” The hope is expressed here, however, that the protocol may avoid any such imputations and that it will be simply a treaty which will make it _possible for two neighboring coun- tries to continue in peaceful relation- ship. M Requests Not Unreasonable. The requests of the United States that retroactive articles of the Mexi- can constitution shall be eliminated S0 as to preserve American property lawfully acquired before the constitu- tion of 1913 was adopted are really not unreasonab! Americans have looked to Mexico for a large part of the world's oil supply, but the wells there are going dry, and it is estimated that in an- other eighteen months the present wells will have become practically valueless. This means that new sources of supply must be opened up, and unless American interests can se- cure permits to drill new wells under favorable conditions, other European interests may creep in and obtain con- trol of the petroleum there. Secretary Hughes has sent George Summerlin to Mexico City to negoti- ate with Obregon. Summerlin is charge d'affaires of the American em- bassy in Mexico City and is an in- timate friend of Undersecrtary Fletcher, under whom he has served in various diplomatic posts. Summer- lin has the confidence of the Depart- ment of State to an unusual degree and will handle the negotiations in person. Door Still Open Over Yap. As for the controversy with Japan { over the Island of Yap matters are mov- [ing along satisfactorily for our govern- ment. The Japanese have by no means closed the door against discussion; in- deed, they have not assumed a definite position. The negotiations have been carried on informally and orally, so that as soon as an agreement is reached it may be reduced to writing without the necessity of a prolonged period of note writing. The Yap question is before the supreme council, but if the United States and Japan could reach a direct agree- ment it would be far more satisfactory to Japan than to be in the position of being required to obey a request from ’ l thing previously awarded her. The wi out, of course, iS an agreement to inter- nationalize the Island of Yap so that it does not belong either to the United States or Japan, but to all the powers equally and governed by an international commission which woula sateguard ail interests. Japan is not particularly disturbed over tne aisposition of Yap—or rather | she would not be if Japanese-Amer- ican relations showed signs of get- | ting better. The negotiations which have been carried on both here and in Tokio indicate clearly to the| Japanese that the Harding adminis- | tration is not going around with a chip on its shoulder, but is anxiou: to have a friendly understanding -with the Japanese so that the road ahead may be traveled by both countries without suspicion. The economic in- as Japan are straining for expansion | and on the prompt settlement of | pending disputes depends the develop- ment of commerce and business rel tions in the far east. Both gover: ments know that and are trying by diplomacy to get a clean slate. Coprright, 1921. —_—— RREST HARDING ‘ENEMY.’ Declared to Have Written Threat- ening Letters to President.
