Other com panies throughout Pennsylvania have been granted help, but this is the first time that the Public Service Commission has sought outside advice.

Mr. Hall said that he would be will ing to appear personally before the Public Service Commission to give bis opinion. lie snld there was a precedent for his resolution to refer the wholo matter to the Public Service Commis sion. Councilman Horn expressed himself as opposed to any relief measure. "I don't believe the P. R.

We are already on record ns opposed to the abolition of transfers nnd exchange tickets; wo aro unalterably opposed to doing away with transfers. Their nbolltion would espe cially work a hardship on tho first dis trict, which I hotro the honor to repre sent."

"I am deeply interested in this ques tion," he said. "Not so long ago some 15,000 men, riders In the southern sec tion, asked for relief. If the transfers are abolished It means that some of theso people will have to pay thirty-cent fares to get to nnd from work."

VIGOROUS PROTESTS AGAINST INCREASE Two vigorous protests have been voiced against tho Philadelphia ltnpld Transit Co. 'a action looking to the abo lition of transfers nnd exchanges. Tho Itelmont Improvement Associa tion, has adopted a resolution protest ing against the transit company's no tion, nnd furnished copies of It to the Public Service Commission, Council und Mayor Moore. "The company views with most pious respect Its contract with the city when ItH purposes are to be served," the res olution declares, "but when the con tract Is an obstacle, the company ig nores it. "The members of the association do not forget the struggle to obtain free transfers from Itoute 40 to the elevated lino on Market street at Fortieth. Should tho company he successful in ita present efforts, the residents of this nelgiibodhood will be obliged to pay a fivecent fare for a ride of a few squares to tho elevated, and another five-cent fare on the elevated. This would be in equitable and unjust." Two thousand residents of Wissinom- ing and Tacony protested against the fnre-increaso plan at n mnss-mectlng last night In the Henry r.awton Public School, Henner nnd Ditmnn streets. A parade of protest, led by a band of tho Itcpublirnn national and state tick Hoy ScoutB, preceded the meeting. ctn is a foregone conclusion. For this In tho procession were cnrrled ban- i tenson contributions hnvo not been as ners bearing the legends: "More Money for Mitten Is It Fair?" and "P. II. T i' Politically Itobbed of Our Transfers." Tho speakers denounced the efforts of the company to abolish transfers and exchanges.

Cash Drawer of State Is Empty Contlnard from 1'aie One lie burying of tho meat ax, an ostenta tious clasping of hands across the bloody chnsm, and to all appearances the cur tain was rung down on the little drama. Properly speaking, it was a farce, rather -than a drama. At tho tlmo I directed attention to tho fact that the reconciliation was not permanent. It was a mnkeshlft a suture of meaningless words and actions designed temporarily to draw together the edges of nn ugly wound Within the past month the sutures have dissolved nnd tho old wound Is opened ns wide ns ever. The causes leading to tills liavo been some cleicr and exceedingly astuto work on the part of Mr, Grundy, whorcby tho first step In tils plan or political doiributlon has been taken. From this on it becomes a national, rather than a state, issue. One of tho lending charges of Mr. Grundy in his opposition to Senator i 'low was that tho funds contributed uy lilm nnd his association had not been 'Judiciously spent In past campaigns. In nil future campaigns, therefore, ho nro- poseu to Know how and where tlic tunus went. For this reason he demanded thnt n subcommittee be appointed to superintend this work." Mr. Grundy is not. I understand, trusting the distribution of tho cam' palgn fuiHs contributed by the Manu facturers Association to a subcommit tee. He is supervising, or nt least will supervise, their judicious disposal from now on until Hnrdlng nnd Coolldge nre elected. Argument In Chicago It is for this leason that the Itepub Mean state committee Is without money nnd that the committee's trensurcr. Deputy Auditor General Charles John son. Is holding nn empty bug. Whatever element of political sincer ity may have surrounded tho compro mise effected bv Governor Sproul, Senn tor Penrose. Mnyor Moore and Secre tary Baker, it was shattered by the dramatic episode which choracteri7ed the Inst meeting of the Pennsylvania delegation to the Chicago convention. At that meeting In the Congress Hotel, when the proposition wns under discussion to permit Governor Sproul to control the Pennsylvania delegation until such time as he saw fit to release Ii from its pledges to support him, Mr. Grundy wns the leading objector. He expressed the view that thn individual delegates nfter n ccrtnin time should be permitted to vote for their second choice. In reply to this State Chairman Crow inado a vigorous and dramatic protest. It wns forceful nnd vitriolic. Whilo he did not mention Mr. Grundy by name, It was evident thnt his shafts wero aimed nt the gentleman from Ducks, Although he tnnde no comment nt the time, it was evident that Sir. Grundy regarded the episode as n battering down of the wall of conciliation un invitation for him to do his worst i n.i. ,, v(uf...i ,,,., Li7..LVi",1 . n-mihllcnns.

It was nlso understood that all moneys collected by .Mr. Kolwell in the east, nnd A. W. Mellon In the west, were to bo turned over to the national committee, out of theso amounts a certain percentage was to be utilized for the Pennsylvania cam paign. Not a word was said about turn ing this percentage over for distribu tion by the hands of the Republican state committee. State Senator Crow was not present at this meeting. Ho has been very ill for months. Only recently, It s under stood, has his physicians permitted him to take nny part in politics. It Is the first tlmo In the history of the Republican state committee that .,.. iM. Miilltlnn hns existed. It 18 appaient now that Pennsylvania s quota will not pass through the hands or state committee officials. The funds con tributed by the Pennsylvania Manufnc furors' Association will be handled b Mr. Grundy.
