President C. R. Taylor, the other member of the committee which at- tended the meeting, presided. A letter to the company by Mr. Sharp, in reply to one received by President Taylor regarding the fu- ture policy of the company, in which he comments on the proposed changes, was read to the association and later indorsed. Of all the proposals the one which draws the sharpest criticism from Mr. Sharp in his letter is that with respect to putting on sale by the company of a twenty-six trip ticket, good for one person and for oné month from date of sale at a rate per trip of 16% per cent above the present rate per trip of the fifty-two trip ticket. < The letter states: “There has been no demand for such a ticket, and you were advised specifically at the conference Tuesday that we did not wish it. It cannot ingrease your revenues. The price of” this ticket per trip would be in excess of the twenty-five-trip ticket per trip to oints on the Falls Church division cast of the Falls Church group, the same at Falls Church and but nine- tenths of 1 cent less at West Falls Church. It would be $1.17 less per beok than the twenty-five-trip book at Enola and 95 cents less than the twenty-five-trip book at Alexandria. Experience has demonstrated that at Falls Church your present fifty-two- trip book, costing $5.50, will not sell, owing to its disadvantages, against the twenty-five-trip ticket, with fifty- two trips at the twenty-five-trip ticket rate, costing $6.55, or $1.05 more. M. George, who presided at the meet- ing. Mr. George said The Hague con- Would Not Buy Tickets. i This_being the case, and with at least 75 per cent of your Falls Church traflic unloading east of Znola, and 90 per cent of your Mount Vernon division traffic unloading at or before reaching Alexandria, how can you expect this ticket to sell in any appreciable numbers, much less become a ticket that will attract patrons back to vour lines? You do not expect to do so. That is not vour purpose in proposing it. With- out intending this to be in any sense a threat I advise vou that if any such scheduls is filed we shall pro- test it before the Interstate Com- merce Commission.t” The proposed change in the matter of handling the fifty-two-tri forty-six-trip tickets wil vantage, the letter states. patrons and will reduce the conges- tion at the ticket offices, but the 2 : : -l advantages to the patrons will affect too few to be of consequence in im- proving public sentiment toward the road. Regarding the proposed time limit of five days on return tickets the writer states that he fails to see any substantial reason for any limit upon fare ticket, either going or coming. As long as commutation tickets are available, the letter con- no one is likely to purchase one-way and round-trip le i i s in quantities prior to the ef- ve date of an increase in rates. i Rebate Called Just. The proposal of the company to give a rebate of the penalty imposed when passengers fail to purchase tickets upon boarding cars at ticket stations, places the matter on a just basis, Mr. Sharp contends in his lefter, and will be appreciated, as will the proposal to inaugurate a freight service from Washington to points on the Falls Church division, unless accompanied | by an unreasonable advance in charges. Mr. Sharp concludes his letter by stating that the representatives of the Clarendon Citizens’ Association are much disappointed over the out- come of the conference, “feeling, as they do, that except for minor mat- ters, your position had been deter- mined before extending the invitation to meet with you and that the con- ference was arranged for no other | Purpese than an endeavor to assuage the. indignation which would be likely to arise, and will certainly now { arise, upon filing schedules intended | vitimately to impose further increases upon your patrons.” { Following the reading of the let- ter Mr. Sharp, who is said to be one of the best posted men on railroad Easy ' Payments Bench to Match affairs in the county, declared that representatives of the commuters went to the conference thinking and hoping that some of their ideas would be considered, and possibly some of them adopted and given a trial, but such was not the case. He declared { that if the company wants to get back its lost patronage and regain the public confidence it will have to adopt {a spirit more accommodating to the general public. Mr, Sharp stated that it was_ his cpinion_that if the Interstate Com- merce Commission -allowed the twen- ty-six-trip book, the company in six months’ time would ask to have the twenty-five-trip book withdrawn. Free Delivery CPPORTUNITIES IN PERSIA EXPLAINED BY MINISTER Representative Here Would Estab- lish Technical and Financial Relations With America. P o Mirza Hussein Khan Alai, extraordinary and minister potentiary from Persia to the United States, who recently arrived in| Washington, today told in an inter- | view of plans his country has of | opening up “‘technical and financial” | relations with the United States. The Persian minister, educated England and a student of American | affairs, is personally as well as offi- clally interested in friendly relations between his native land and this country for mutual advantage. envoy | i “The present government and parlia- i ment of Persia are again, after more i than ten years of enforced silence and I inactivity, .most desirous of opening : ‘up the country by obtaining technical nd financial assistance from Amer- " he explained. hey feel that the government and ! citizens of the United States, who are | distinguished both by their spirit and | enterprise and their humanitarian de- pleni- | ] isire for the welfare of all nations, | will not hesitate to extend, in the i hour of need, the hand of friendship i to their own kith and kin in Asia. | “A great opportunity is offered to iyou to profitably invest your capital ;in a big country rich in oil and other minerals, peopled by a sober, intelli- gent and industrious nation, earnest- ly desirous to have your help in money and advisers for the develop- ment of their country, knowing that this store, whether new or used, positively pro- tected by written guar- antee for from 1 to 10 years, according to con- dition. you are the only politically disinter- ested state that has the means ahd ability to help them.” The minister concluded with the statement that it is a mistake to sup- pose that Persia has an inclination to be dominated by Moscow or by any other neighbor. “She ardently desires the safeguarding of her com- plete independence and the respect of the open door and equal oppor- tunity for all nations in Asia,” he added.. / *198 up Guaranteed ferences were severely handicapped by ridicule of the less informed press and public. The influence, he said, | of a few well informed women in the circles they travel would aid in ob- taining a* helpful attitude toward matters of both national and inter- | national importance by those who heretofore have taken but a passing interest in them. A Beries of twenty-two lectures has been planned to take place every Tuesday, with an important speaker every second and last Tuesday of the month, the first andl third Tuesdays will be given to discussions and quizzing among the class members., POST OFFICE BUYS TWINE.
