Business Men Want Courts te

fore Lease Is Signed
COMPROMISE IS EXPECTED
The ftrbt of n series of conferences te
determine whether the city or the
1 Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company
shall operate the Prnnkferd elevated
Is being held today by Council sitting
as a Committee of the Whole.
The conferences also will determine
whether the residents of Krankferd will
have central city delivery by way of
the Market street elevated or whether
the ride will terminate nt 1'rent nnd
Arch streets.
Illehnrd Wegleln, president or loun leun
cil, has arranged the conferences, which
he premises will U short nnd decisive.
Themas E. Mitten, president of the
company. Director Twining, Mayer
Moere nnd City Solicitor Smyth have
b-cn Invited te attend, us hnve several
trade and civic organizations. Dlscus Dlscus
blen will be confined te the Frnnkferd
elevated, nnd the snap-box variety of
oration will be strictly taboo. Mr.
Weglcin declared yesterday thnt he
has great faith that the conferences
will heal the differences between the
city and the company se that the latter
will agree te operate the elevuted.
CotnpreinI.se Expected
I The Ceuncllmcn, however, feel that
i concessions will have te be made by
I both sides.
The trend of opinion, in certain
i councilman!.- circles is thnt the city
will for the time being have te renounce
i Its claim te a straight 5' per cent re
turn en the money invested by the
I municipality in the construction of the
read, while the company will nlse have
te refrnin from secutng the clty'B con-
' sent te nn increase In fares.
A live-cent trolley tare in tnis city
is backed by the authority of the United
States Supreme Court, even though the
Public Service Commission has estab
lished a seven-cent fare here, counsel
for the United Uuslncbs Men's Associa
tion stated today.
A five-cent fare was fixed in the lfiOi
agreement between the city and the
' P. It. T.. the association asserts. The
, tti? X X enXuld
be tested in the courts follews:
"By decision of Supreme Court
banded down April 11 in the ense of
Citv of Sun Antonie, Tex., vs. the San
Antonie Street Kailvvay Cempnny. it
is held that where under n State Con
stitution a municipality bus the right
te enter into a contract llxing fares
for a limited period and such contract
is entered into between a street ralhva.v
and a municipality, such contract-fixing
fares is binding nnd cannot be changed
by action of any public service com cem com
mihsien. I-ater Than Pennsylvania Decision
"This decision was made since the
dis'islen of tlie Appellate Ceuit of Penn
sylvania 111 the ilkenshurg cute,
where a municipal ordinance fixing
fares was declared inoperative. At the
present time a strong attempt is beins
made te have the fare for the City of
Philadelphia fixed by valuation et the
property of the operating company in
stead of by its contract with the City
of Philadelphia. Council should im
mediately pass a resolution directing the
City Solicitor te take proper legnl pro
ceedings te have the courts pabs en
the city's rights under the 1(107 con'
tract before tlie present valuation pro
ceedings nre, finished.
"The SMpreine Court of Pennsyl
vania has twice decided that the con
tract of 1007 is u legal and valid 0111
nnd the Supreme Court of the Unite.'
States has said a valid contract fixing
fares is binding. It will net be difficult
if prompt measures are taken by Coun
cil und the Mayer and the City Solicitor
te get a decision from the courts in the
nbeve matter before the valuation pro
ceedings urc concluded.
"If this contract gives the people of
Philadelphia the right te a five-cent fare
thnt right should net be taken away
from them by rushing valuation pro
ceedings. It is vital te Ihe interest of
the people of Philadelphia that their
right te 1 live-cent flire under tlie
1007 agreement should te determined
and net abandoned.
"Ne permanent lease of the Prnnk Prnnk
eord 'L' should be made under an.v cir
sumstnines at present because such ac
tion might entangle the entire citj's
s.v.slem in the future."

Dublin, Dec. 1.1. The Irish lllsheps,

the divine blessing upon the delibera

that body would be utile te havci the
best Interests of the country in mind.
1'ieliminnry conversations anions the

strong party opposed te Cardinal
liOgue'H views that they should make
n pronouncement en the subject nt the
present, en the ground thnt the Dail
nirennn should be allowed te come te n
decision without an attempt being made
te influence It.
In addition many of tlie Uisheps ex
pressed belief that whatever action they
might take would have little Influence
upon the Dnll, and that they should re
serve any expression of views until the
question was put up te the people,
which they thought probable would be
the case.

Gaelic League, also met, but un.v action
bv this body, it is thought, will have

INLAND STATES ADVISED
Dy the Associated rrcss
Mllw&ukoe, Wis., Dec. 13. In the
prairie towns, cities, villages, towns and
farms of our inland Stntes the future of
America en the ecas will be decided,
Albert D. Laskcr, chnlrman of the
United States Shipping Beard, told the
Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce here
today. The points farthest from the
ocean will decide the fate of American
shipping en palt water, he nald.
"The dwellers of our coastal cities
nre naturally for a permanently estab
lished Anicrlcan merchant marine,
continued Mr. Lnsker. "It Is the in
land dweller, removed from direct con
tact wltli ships, who has felt n disin
terestedness in American shipping thnt
has almost amounted te nn adverse prej
udice if American shipping required na
tional aid te insure its life.
"Granting thnt Ihe 0-5-3 naval pro
gram, or some equivalent, be adopted,
and that we have a naval holiday for
n term of venrs. the nucstlen of naval
equality is net solved; because if in ad
dition te the equalized navies nny one
nation pesscssf-H n mcrchnnt marine of
convertible strength vastly beyond thnt
of another nntien, the nation possess
ing that ndded convertible mcrchnnt
tonnage hns the preponderance of naval
power.
"We should remember that If we en
ter n ten-year naval holiday, and If we
fall te cbtnbllsh a merchant mnrlne.
American ehlpyards will be largely
closed, and the nrt of shipbuilding
will virtually be lest te us. Should
again the day come when in the national
defense we must make use of our navy,
we would be Inching in the yards and
the trnined workers te renew Its
strength; nnd the nations which during
the holiday period had kept their ynrds
nlive with merchant mnrlne work would
have nn unmatchable advantage ever us.
"But the proponents of an Amerlcnn
merchant marine must rest their case
far beyond the grounds of natiennl de
fense. "Stability and restored normal pros-,
perity must be based en development
of foreign trade nnd foreign markets in
n measure never before rcalizd by Amer
icans.
