MnmR BUS IS HELD TRAVEL AUXILIARY Association Declares Electric Railway Companies Shoulq Foster Additional Service. The motor bus was defined as an auxiliary in local transportation yes- terday at closing sessions of the con- vention of the American Electric Rail- way Association with adoption by the convention of an agreement reached several weeks ago by representatives of automotive and traction organiza- tions, The industry has developed no medium which can suppfant electric rallways i moving large urban crowds in rush hours, It was agreed, apd it was held.that electric rallway companies . should provide both bus and electric car service essential to &0od public service with protection against competition when so. doing. Buses should be regulated as common carriers, the agreement said, and both buses and electric raflways should bear proportionate taxes. Joint Agreement Formulated. The agreement was drafted jointly by the Automobile Chamber of Com- merce and the American Automobile Assoclation, and T. R. Dahl, who rep- resented the automotive interests in its consideration, addressing the as- soclation, deciared emphatically against the financing of independent bus companies by manufacturers encourage competition with electric railways which deal with them. “We bus manufacturers have every desire to co-operate with you,” he sald. “Having sold you equipment, we will not indirectly enter into com- petition with you by financing com- petitors’ equipment. We do not be- lieve that It is good business ethics to finance companies operating in competition with our customers, eithor through stock ownership or time, sales, which are a mere subter- fuge.” Tribute was paid to President Cool- idge at the banquet of the assoclation last night by George . Hamilton, presi- dent of the Capital Traction Company, and M. C. Brush of New York. Gen. Guy . Tripp of the Westinghouse Electric to| and Manufacturing Company told th convention that nothing has yet ap- peared which equals, the trolléy car for hauling the greatest number of people at the lowest cost. The delegates were received.at the White House yesterday by President Coolldge. s T P8 S \ Mud baths may beantify milady, but would not seem to be good fqr electric motors.
