They declare themselves "as feeling hopeless of nny favorable action arising from the pres ent hearings before the Public Service Commission on tho transit conditions.

This ini tial payment of $5 will result iu nt least 340,000 of cash capital. After this we propose to have each employee pay 2 per week for the operation nnd main tenance of this line, which will result In .$10,000 weekly, to be used for this purpose, nnd such other payments ns may be necessary to make this line a business success as well as to provide reasonable transportation to the em pioycs." Mr. Lynch declared today thnt Mayor Moore would be appealed to for help In the venture, for the drafting of proper city ordinances for the operation and protection of the bus line. Tentative discussions with companies In n position to establish such n service have already been held, and the nav.v ynrd employes ate said to strongly favor any move made by the Navy Tard De velopment Association that will improve transportation facilities.

More thnn TOO motorcars ore run into the yard every duy to get men to work with tne present trolley service. It has not .vet been decided whether the men subscribing to the bus line will be pro-d vlded with passes nnd allowed to ride without collecting fares, or whether fares will be collected and the employes, as stockholders, will share tbo profits or meet any deficit. In the request to Admiral Hughes, the development committee characterizes the transit company s service ns 'un reasonable, Insufferable and unhealthy."

The memorial said the bill violated tho fundamental principles of the Amer ican Government by guaranteeing to the owners of railroad securities a right to chnrgc rates that would produce a min imum net return of 5yj Pf cent on "that uncertain and intangible thing, nggregate valuation. This is a grant 01 a noruuumi. ex clusive and special privilege," not en joyed by imestors in other kinds of securities, the memorial said. Vigorous opposition wns expected to the provision of tho bill establishing a tribunal for settlement of labor d.s putes, the memorial saying this wns an nttempt to deprive the railroad em pIoes of the former "inherent right to determine their wages by negotiation l.nf,i.rtn. nmnlnvr-q ntiri pmnlovers. Opcrntlon of the measure, It was said, would cause nn "unreasonable" delay in settling the present wage demands, becnuse the unions would have to pre sent their demands anew to each of the 2000 privately owned railroads. The memorial also set forth that the "inequities, uncertainties, delays and nmhliriiltlfs" of the bill would promote unrest nnd Intensify existing causes of disagreement and prevent the orderly adjustment of grievances. . Funnily It was charged that- tho bill abrogated tho right and freedom of col lective bargaining and substituted "an indefinite nnd uncertain method of compulsory adjustment or arbitration of disputes." George P. Hampton, managing direc tor of the Fnrmers' National Council, presented tho arguments for that or ganization. He said the bill contained "vicious provisions antagonistic to American principles." Permission for mcrcinir 'the roads would "almost In CVltnDiy resuir in nn lncrenseu reiurn on raise capitalization. lie aecinreu The Instructions to the Interstate Com- crce Commission to fix rates to yield net income of n'i per cent, he contin ued, gives carriers n "good basis for demanding very high rates, since the exnet effect of increasing rates in re ducing the volumo of traffic cannot b forecast." Other objections outlined were that the rights granted the railroads under the bill created for them a new prop erty right estimated ns wortli to them at 'least SO.OOO.OOO.OOO and placed heavy carrying charges on the people. The guaranteed dividend is not only nn invitation but in effect n mandate to extreme waste and inefficiency, en tailing n cost to the people of nearly $2,000,000 a dny. The bill If effected would check pro duction and militate against agriculture and nil other legitimate industry in America.

GILBERT Staff Correspondent Evening PnblrC ledger . . Washington, Feb. 20. The Adriatic notes will be released for publication tomorrow. They are seven In number and include both the notes of Presi dent Wilson and Mr. Lansing and those of the allied premiers. They con tain nbout 12,000 words. Their con tents havo been pretty well indicated In what has been disclosed by the ad ministration here and in what the 811(64 premiers have seen fit to give oat abroad. Less Is known of Mr. Wilson's latest note than of its predecessors. A curi ous difference exists between tho judg ment, or Washington and the Judgment of London and Paris with regard to tins note. Washington wbb all excited about it while it was being composed. London and Paris received it with every sign of relief. Those who have read It In Washing ton described it as an appeal to the liberal opinion of the world. The allied capitals evidently have overlooked this aspect of the note or discount Its Im portance and consider It only In Its diplomatic bearings, being impressed chiefly with the fact that Mr. Wilson does not repeat the threat contained in his previous note to withdraw from par ticipation in European affairs and that he does not offer any new solution of the Adriatic problem.
