Cmincltmnn Joseph P. Onffupy tie-
dared today In a rcportfiled wltli the
olrrk of Council Hint tlii trolley
fare situation in Philadelphia would
never be nettled until the city solici
tor directly nttttcked the annual $10,-
000,000 rentals paid to tlio underlying
companies by tiie rapid transit com
Pftny' . . . ."
Mr. Gnffncv maue tins statement in
explaining why he voted lant Tuesday
to havo the city join with the United
Businecs Men's Association in proceed
ings to reduco the rentals paid tho un
derlying companies.
He Introduced a resolution in Coun
cil Inst Tuesday to have the city solici
tor and the Mayor" join tlfc business
men's association in the attack on the
rental system.
This resolution was defeated 12 to 0.
Says Resolution Didn't Interfere
"Tho resolution did not In any way
interfere, as in oharRcd, with the
elty's pending protest ngainitt the nbo-
lltloii oi iree transters and crcnnuBC
tickets by the Philadelphia Rapid Tran
sit Co.
"On the contrary It particularly ap
proved of the prosecution of that com
plaint and authorized and directed in
Addition nnd not as a substitute for
the Intervention by the city In another
pending proceeding, that of the United
Business Men's Association, directed
against the underlying companies and
having for its specific object the reduc
tion or tncir present rentals."
"I deem this intervention not only
proper, but imperative, for, like 'Tho
Imp In the Mottle,' the torment of the
underlying leases has been with us, is
now, nnd will continue to be with us
until the highest court in our land has
finally declared whether or not the rent
als therein provided can be reduced."
"This contest, nlrendy too lone de
layed, must be positively nnd directly
waged to a nnni conclusion. To side
step it Is the work of nn enemy, and
not of a friend of the car riders of this
city.
I'rotests at Delay
'Not only is It unwiBC. but positively
unfortunate for city officials to attempt
to hill the people of Philadelphia and
their representatives in Council into n
state of Innocuous desuetude by decla
rations and opinions that the action of:
the city is the came, so far as the bene
ficial results to be obtained are con
cerned, as that instituted by the United
Business Men's Association, when even
a cursory reading of the printed com
plaints filed in these two enses demon
strates the actions are essentially differ

says theUnited Business Men's Asso
ciation's tight does directly attack the
Tcntal bystcm.
The underlying companies nre re
ferred to only twice in the city's bill
of eomnlnint. Even assuming that the
IJPubllc Service Commission finds that
1 tnc renin in pam underlying companies
arc too high, he says, the commission
cannot in the city's suits reduce these
; rentals.
On the other hand, he says, the com
plaint of the United Business Men's
Association meets tho issue snuarcly.
This complaint is not directed against
the P. H. T., he says, but against the
thirty underlying street railway com
panies.

Brought in Court
ASKS AN EARLY ANSWER
Suit to cnmnM Mm Ttnnrrl nf'Killien
tlon to rpinfttntp TV. Itnhcrt Kills
Thompson ns president of Central High
tciiooi was instituted In Common ricas
Court No. 1 today.
R.vron A. Mllner. renrespntlne Doctor
Thompson, petltlonpd for a writ of al
ternative mandamus nsking for the re
instatement or an nnswer within thirty
days Miowltie just ennse for Doctoi
Thompson's retirement.
uoctor Thompson was president oi
tho Central High School for twenty-six
years. Ho was dropped In .Tune under
the terms of the school net of 1017 be
cause ho was seventy cars old, the
board said.
Mr. Mllnor contends the art Is uncon
stitutional nnd Is class legislation, bar
ring, ns it does, men from holding cov
eted positions In the school system be
entiKO of the setting of an arbitrary age
limit.
Kdwnrd Merchant, assistant secre
tary nnd solicitor for the Hoard of Kdu
cation, appeared before Judge Stem nnd
accepted service of the suit for the
hoard.
Ho would mnke no comment on tho
chnrge lu the suit that the board hos
exceeded Its nuthorltv because the re
tirement whs not ordered by the state
retirement bonrd.
Tho petition states that the law docs
not automatically retire a teneher at
the age of seventy years, but that the
retirement must bp ordered by the re
tirement bodv. ro such order was
mndo in Doctor Thompson's case, it is
said.
In explaining the suit Mr. Milncr
said he. wanted it understood thero was
no personal animosity ngalnst Doctor
Hnnev in the movement.
"Wo hope to get n decision In the
ense before September," he bnld. "There
is no nnlmus lu the suit, but Doctor
Thompson feels that as the constitu
tionality of thp law Is in doubt the
rourt. not the Ilonrd of Education,
should decide the matter."

regular high grade MacDonald & Campbell Standard Suits the utmost in
materials, style and tailoring, and the reductions are made from our regu
lar prices charged this season. The difference and real economy are
obvious.
