CITIZENS IN DRIVE ON ONE-MAN CARS Traction Condifio;l on North Cap- itol Street Declared Dangerous. BOYCOTT BOME TALK OF Violent Rocking and Reokless Op- eration Scored. “Reckles: operation of “unsafe” street cars along a “dangerous” plece of roadbed on North Capitol street be- tween R street and Rhode Island ave- nue was scored at a meeting of the North Washington Citizens' Associa- tiori last night at the United Brethren Church. As a result of the alleged unsafe condition of the tracks, the associa- tion adopted a resolution requesting the Washington Railway and Electric Company to cut the speed of its cars between the streets named down to six miles per hour, this being the first step in an avowed campaign to drive the one-man street car off the North Capitol street line, according to mem- bers, Danger of Accident. Cars rock violently when passing over the stretch of track between R | street and Rhode Island avenue and are operated at a speed which might prove dangerous to the car riders, the association was told. Discussion of the one-man car resulted in a de- clsion by some the members to forego riding gu fhis type of car, W. Lang and Washington Topham de- claring that this is the only means within the power of residents of the section to show the rallway company they do not want the car in opera- tion on the North Capitol street line. “Old-fashioned, worn-out and unsan- itary equipment” also was scored. ‘Want Trafic Officer. Placing of a traffic officer at the in- tersection of Rhode Island avenue and st street northwest was urged in a resolution introduced by P. W. Pritchett and passed by the association. Mem- bers pointed to a serious accident on New Year eve at this corner, climaxing other traffic accidents at the same lace. Under the terms of the resolu- fon an officer would be in charge of traffic sixteen hours a day. Removal of the street car plow pit from its present locatlon to a point on Michigan avenue beyond North Capitol street was urged in another Tesolution, which was passed. The ‘Washington Rallway and Electric Company was urged to speedily re- pain_cuts alongside its tracks, in another resolutfon. Miss Dorothy Gilligan rendered a violin solo, ac- companied by her father, Henry Gil- ligan. Vocal solos were sung by Austin Lawrenson, accompanied by Mr. Gilligan. —_— TESTS FOR U. S. JOBS.

Puts Alien Curb Into e Effect. RETALIATION IS HINTED Hitherto Crossing of Border Has Been Free. Special Dispateh to The Star. MONTREAL, January $.—The pro- posal before the United States Senate that Canadian citizens be Included in the American immigration quota laws has caused considerable popular re- sentment throughout the Dominion, | and should Congress give the measure its approval and retain this provision, | there will doubtless be & marked agl- | tation for some retallatory step on the part of Canada. Whether the government would even consider such a course is doubt- ful. It has too many domestic prob- lems, including 2 minority in the house, to add to its risk by raising an international howl.

Nevertheless, there is a large sec- tion of public opinion that views with distaste attempts to place re- strictions about Canadians seeking to United States, restrictions, would inevitably and probably annoyance traveler from the domain, especially in view of the per- fect fredom with which Americans are admitted to Canada. Canadian ports and also the trans- atlantic steamsnip companies are deeply concerned in the proposal that the United States reduce its immi- gration quota percentage from 3 per cent of the recent census to 2 per cent of the older one. Canadian ports have been finding highly profitable the present law, which recognizes ar- rival at a Canadian port as equiva- lent to landing in United States ter- ritory so far as the fulfillment of the time limit clause is concerned. Effect on Canada. . Should the United States reduce its quotas, however, it would probably mean that hordes of Russian and southern European emigrants would head for Canada. The Canadian government has no desire to admit these nationals.
