The Commission llion took up the
regular, business of tlia session, viz.,
th B?rvlco on tlio Inlcrborousli linen
That tho demand for a faro uoost
hastened tho Governor's action is In
dicated by his memorandum In iicn
lag jthfl amendments, In which lio
"I htvo carefully considered tho ob
jections which have Uecn raised to the
nmemtmcnt, and In my opinion those
objections nro lintcniible.
"In the public Interest, ngltatlon

nliould have the co-oponitlon of the
City , Administration nnd tho com
panics In developing Its plan.
"TKo plan proponed, with Mich
modifications ns further study may
migKCst, will lay tho foundation for
Improvements nnd extension of nor
vlco .nnd for new lines under n uni
fied System which will serve the en
tire community nnd meet the rapidly

Commission to substitute Itself for the
city's tcpreslentnllves on the Hoard of
Control" during the first year that the
jco'rganlzed transit system Is operated.
The application of tho Intcrhorough
mentioned no amount, hut petitioned
for "an immediate temporary In
crease In tho existing 5-ccnt rate of
fare." Accountants for tho com
mission said unofficially that If the
Interborough demands wero met It
would tnko nbout 7.5 cents per pus
engrr, which In practice would be
an 8-cent fare.
Responsibility for the Interborough
Company's flnanciul plight was put
squarely on tho doorstep of tho pres
ent and past city nilmlntstratlons by
Frank Hcdley, President nnd Genoral
Manager of the traction company,
who was called to the witness stand
In tho Transit Hoard session to-day
to tell tho commission how and why
the Interborough does not give tatter
service. Ho declared that hml the
proper construction of subwuys lecri
provided, by giving to tho InturUir
ough tho whcrowlth to opurutn to
such an enlarged extent, the com
pany would nut to-day find Itself In
Its present predicament.
"Do you mean tno falluro of the
Board of Estimate to provldo the
necessary funds with which to pom
plete rapid transit constructlon7'''.lr.
Hcdley was asked by Chairman Mc
Aneny, and Sir. Iltftlcy answered In
the affirmative.
At this point Corporation Counsel
John I. O'Brien broke In to ask for
specific dutcs and Mr. Hcdley said
"from 1518 to date." Ho later
amended this to Include former city
administrations.
In blaming city administrations for
tho attitude taken toward his com
pany, Mr. Hcdley declared that tho
Interborough, by reason of tho failure
of the city to advance Itn sharo of
necessary construction costs, "has In
jured tho operator (tho Interborough)
or 'a cost of several millions of dol
lars." Chairman McAncny then recited
the futllo attempts mado by tho
Transit Commission to Induco tho
present city authorities to confer with
the commission on unfinished rapid
transit construction, but not even tho
courtesy of a reply to the communi
cation, ho said, was extended, let
-olono actual co-operation.
Commissioner O'ltyun asked If
there was any claim on tho part of
tho city against the Interborough that
might be considered by tho Hoard of
Estimate as an offset of the company's
claim against tho city.
"None that I know of," answered
Mr. Hcdloy.
Mr. Quackenbush said he had some
light to throw on the business rela
tions o,t the two. "I Just had af
firmed by tho Court of Appeals," ho
Bold, "the day before yesterday an
order requiring the city to pay tho
company $2,260,000 of the balance re
maining on the original contract No.
1 (the old subway), and wo havo
claims against tho city aggregating
many millions of dollars and no sug
gestion has ever been mado of a
counter claim.
That his own engineers arc in part
responsible for tho serious congestion
of traffic and overloading of car plat
forms at Grand Central Station of the
Ivenngton Avenuo lino was admitted
by Mr. Hcdley, who stated that the
plans for that station and track route
liad been submitted for criticism when
the dual contracts wore drawn.
Ho declared the reason the Times
Square station is not as congested as
Grand Central is because ( Times
Square has a straightaway track
route, while tho Grand Central stntlon
track routo Is curved und banked,
thus retarding train movements boit
ten seconds more than train move
menus on the Seventh Avenue line at
r.d Street.
"The approach is bad and the trnck
alignment limits the Bpeed of our
trains therefore several seconds are
lost on each train," Mr. Hcdley said
Commissioner Hurkness asked him
If .the Interborough engineers had not
approved tho plans for that kind of
railroad construction. Mr. Hcdley
said he wasn't sure but ho thought
they did. He Insisted however that
he personally objected to that defect
st the time construction was going
on.
Corporation Counsel O'Brien pre
clpltated the usual dally row toward
the end of the morning session by
loudly proclaiming that the Commls
slon was engaged In framing an alibi
for the Interborough through tho
. testimony of Mr. Hcdley.
"Tho Commission," he said, "wll
punctilious care Is throwing all the
odium for failure to Improve transit
facilities on the City Administration
I won't stay hero and stand for thesa
p.llbl sessions."
Chairman HcAneny called Mr
O'Brien to order and said: "When
you relapse Into your vernacular and
become distasteful to this Commls

The Governor's letter reveals that
Im did not sign the bills until ho heard
yesterday afternoon that the Inter
borough had filed a petition to be al
lowed to churgo an Increased fafc of
approximate)-! 60 per cent. As soon
uh that knowledge ' reached him he
promptly signed the measures and
they went Into effect as from 1 o'clock
In tho morning.
The Governor Is characteristically
iliretst In the concluding paragraphs
of his letter, which reads us follows:
"I do not shnro your fears
either that tho hunds of tho Com
mission will bo Improperly tied or
that nny cloud will be put on the
securities to be issued. I take it
for granted that beforo the final
consummation of any plait and
the uctunl oxchnngo of securities
thorcundcr It will be necessary to
secure a final adjudication of tho
validity of tho plan. The uct un
doubtedly does tlo tuo hands of
ti'iu commission to the extent of
preventing Increases of fare to
companies refusing to come In un
der the plan. That Is precisely
what was Intended.
"You say the companies will bo
unable wlth.cxlstlng fares to com
ply with service orders whlcTrryoit
seem to think am in prospect, and
you have seen tit to quote, from
some remarks of mlno made be
fore n regulative committee In
1019 to tho effect that tho courts
had held that n, service order could
not be enforced when tho rates
wero not sufficient to comply
with It.
"That observation did not refer
and Is wholly irrelevant to the
intolerable transit situation In tho
city of New York, for which tho
companies themselves are lurgcly
responsible. That situation de
mands a rcmody, not palliatives
which will prevent a euro.
"Moreover 1st me rsmlnd you
that the courts have not yet
held trat a public service cor
poration can continue to enjoy
Its franchlie and neglect to com
ply with reasonable orders to
ronder adequato 1 service when
such neglect is the result of In
capacity produced; by its own
acts. . or hai it yet been hold

may have immunity fora-failure

"The fears W.hlclirJKftB seem. to
ontcitaln of any unjust or arbi
trary action by the Transit Com
mission are, I am sure, ground
less, but It must not bo forgot
ten that public rights are In

Without tho slightest clue to work

derers of John Bruns, thlrty-seve.i
ears old, who was shot three times
lost night as ho was alout to close
his grocery store at No. 85 Johnson

The police belloo that the thiee
amateur hold-up men, described by
Bruns befoie lie died In the Cumber

WASHINGTON, March 23. Warn
ing that the Federal liovornmcni
would tolerate ho use of violence to
prevent coal production during the
threatened coal stilke was issued to-
lay by Attorney General Datlghcrty.
Tho Attorney General did not dis-
closo the. Government's plans for the
miners' walkout, but it wns understood
that he conferred yesterday with
President Haidlng and Secretary
Davis upon the possibility of a public
appeal by the President to avert' the
strike.
Mr. DuugheM s;ud that he did not
believe that the Government would
li.ive to wait until there was an actual
coal shortage liefoiv it could lake ac-
)ion. His theory, he explained, was
that since fuel wns an indispensable
pait of transportation tho Govern
ment had the same power to act In
the case of any interlerence to coal
production that it would In the event
oi any interruption in the Nation's
I . unsportatlon sstem
The Attorney General without elab
latlng on his statement sold that ac
ton bv the Government in connection
with a coal stilke would be a little
further step than had been taken by
nny other count i. a little more dias
tl and u little more specific, hut his
mind was set upon it and only a
court could block it. fie added It was
probable that ut one minute past mid
night on Maich 31 the Department of
Justice would have something to say
on the situation.
Plans for the walkout on April t
of 150, 000 union miners in the unthr.i-
cite coal fields from which New Voik
gets Its coal supply worn complete !
ut a meeting of district Presidents :it
the Hotel Continental to-day. Ordris
will be issued on Saturday providing
for protection of tlio mines during the
walkout. In these orders certain
classes of miners will bo assigned to
remain on duty to prevent floodlit?
and damage from other muses.
The committee which worked out
tho walkout programme consists of
William J. Btennan of Scranton.
Chris J. (ioldcn of Shamokln and
Thomas J. Kennedy of Hazlcton, all
of Pennsylvania. Mr. Kennedy said
that ho does not sco tho slightest sign
of tlio stilke being averted. Not even
President Harding can stop It, he said.
"The mlncis are ready for a vaca
tion," he said. "Theie will be no dis
order. The men will spend their time
fixing their gardens and exercising m
the open air.-"
President John L. Lewis ol the
Miners' Union said lio hud heaid that
some of the State leaders in the Mid
die Western bituminous Holds will
protest against the strike being run
iv the International olliceis when tli
'War Council" meets nt Cleveland
o-morrow to make plans for thr
country-wido strlko which will closr
our-fifths of the. mines and add
600,000 men to tho ranks of tlio un
employed.
Mr. Lewis did not appear to be
greatly concerned over the prospective
revolt. Some of the State Presidents
want to do their own negotiating
with tho oporatots in their teiritory
mt Mr. Lewis and otlu'r International
olliceis insist that operators as
wholo must treat with tlio union ns a
whole.
Before starting for Cleveland this
ifternoon Mr. Lewis said that while
the Big Four railroad brotherhoods
iad not boon asked for iismm in
ilb'.ut 750.000 of the 2 000.0)1! in. ill
bers of that organization had volun
tunly pledged to aid tne mm. n
their strike.
'To obtain aid," he explained, "it
will ne mcvssary to negotiate with
the executive officers of the railroad
brotherhoods. We have not done that
and do not contemplate dome It but
should the necessity nrise we arc sure
ho n g Four will no sonuiy oemnu

HARDING FAVORS
ONE 6-YEAR TERM
Friends Say President Might Benefit
but Would Not Be
Candidate Again.
By David Lawrence,
(Special Correspondent of The Eve
ning World.)
WASHINGTON, March 23 (Copy
right, 1922). President Harding Is
not averse to a constitutional amend
ment limiting the Chief Kxectttlvo of
the United Slates to a Blnglo term, of
six years.
Although Representative Wood
of Indiana, Republican, who has
just Introduced such a proposal, was
said at tho whlto Houso to
day to havo refrained from dis
cussing tho suggestion with tho Presi
dent, it Is a fact that Mr. Harding re
cently has expressed a deep Interest
In the question.
Mr. Harding is not particularly con
cerned whether the limitation affects
his own tenure or not. Ho is sold to
havo remarked on ono occasion that
It would bo a source of much satlsfac
tlon to him If tho question wero dis
posed of definitely In his term of of
fice. Thero would be no bar cither against
Mr. Hnrdlng's re-clcctlonfor a term
of six years, beginning In March, 192B,
but those who know Mr. Harding best
say that If a Federal amendment pio
vldlng for a single six-year term wen
to Is) added to tho Constitution, In
would decline renominatlon.
