HOUSE HEARING
ON MERGER
OPENS
Hearings on the traction merger
plan which has been approved by
the Public Utilities Commission and
the companies, opened today before
the full House District Committee.
The hearings are the first move
tn the long process of Congressional
consideration of the plan which
will ultimately result in its final
ratification or rejection.
John W. Childress, chairman of
the Public Utilities Commission,
which submitted the plan to Con
gress, was the first witness called.
He was expected to be on the stand
most of the morning-
The committee room was crowded
as the hearings opened. Practically
everyone who testified during the
hearings before the commission
was summoned.
Included, in addition to Childress,
are his colleagues on the comniis
sion, Engineer Commissioner Wil
liam B. Ladue and Lieut. Col. Har
rison Brand, jr.; W. W. Bride, gen
eral counsel to the commission;
People’s Counsel Ralph B. rle
harty; Earl V. Fisher, executive
secretary of the commission: Harley
P. Wilson, owner of the Washing
ton Rapid Transit Company and
originator of the plan: William F.
Ham, president of the Washington
Rallwav and Electric Company, and
John H. Hanna, president of • the
Capital Traction Company.
The committee had also sum
moned representatives of the zari
ous trade and civic organizations
including William McK. Clayton,
chairman of the public utilities
committee of the Federation of Citi
zens Associations, who is bitterly
fighting the agreement.
The full District Committee, com
posed of 21 members, is holding the
hearings instead of the Public
Utilities subcommittee composed of
only nine members. It was decid’d
to . hold the hearings before the
full committee because of the im
portance of the subject.
