AGED ASHL Ml R4V Ik Traction Company Manager and Coun-'r: sel Giye Statistic to Lawyers Representing Complaining Cities and Towns NO COMPROMISE REACHED But Question Will be Taken Up Again To-day at Attorneys' I Conference Lawyers representing Wilkes-Barre and Ptttston cities and various municipalities In the valley whose residents are affected by the 60 per cent Increased trolley car fare collected since October 1, by Wllkea-Barre Railway Company, met General Manager T.

A. Wright and the -company's- counsel, F. W. Wheaton and Evan C. Jones, In the council- chamber of city hall yesterday afternoon, and' although prior1 to the meeting a declara- lion was made that some', sort of a.

j. compromise might be reached whereby the traction company would consider lowering Its unit fare to six cents, all that did materialize was a statement to this general effect from the munlo- ipality "The traction company has pre- onted facts and figures in Its cohten- I tion for a fare in excess of five cents. Counsel and Mr. Wright laid the com- pany's case before us in detail. The 'T lawyers for the cities, boroughs and townships have this information now which will be discussed, and from which a definite decision will probably be arrived at in another meeting of the lawyers to-morrow at noon." "Will there be a compromise on a six-cent fare Instead of eight cents asitea a representative oi me neuoru, who had blundered Into the meeting while it was on on invitation that the meeting was an open one.

"There will be no definite announce ment on that until we meet te-morrow, to go over matters presented here," said one of the people's lawyers, who offered to be spokesman for his colleagues. The veporter having left the meeting by Invitation, the same as he had gone into it was not lnrormea on any or. the details of Die company's state ments but it is understood that Mr. Wright announced that the traction lines had carried fewer passengers in December 1918 than in December 1917 by 400,000 to 600.000 but that the revenues had been $24,000 greater. It was learned that in yesterday's meeting statistics such as the trac tion company has submitted to the Public Service Commission, were presented by General Manager Wright and the company's counsel, and these were thrashed over and discussed.

The burden of the traction com pany's contention, it was said, remains the same increased operating expenses and wage Increases to employ ees make Imperative the need of a higher fare than the nlckle. The attitude of the municipal lawyers grants all this to be true, but that eight cents as the unit fare Is excessive. One of the borough lawyers said that although the raising of the "Unit fare from 5 to 8 cents by the traction company on October 1. after a 6 cent fare was being collected since March 1, last, really means a 60 per cent increase, over the staple fare of years' standing, the company submits that actuall ythls Increase is but 18 per due to the decrease of passenger traffic caused by 20,000 persons going out of the valley for war, and to reside In other localities where well paying Svar" Jobs hold them. Some lawyers, however, hold that this number Is excessive, and that not more than 10,000 former trolley car riders are absent from the valley.

The company also contends that Its wage Increase has been a flat 77 per cent within tne Tart yesr.ifrfThfrerrtr folk who pay to ride, this fact stands out since yesterday: Somewhere between 6 and 8 cents there is a possible fare that may be agreed upon to make unnecessary ths people's side of the controversy reaching the Public Service Commission, and consequently entailing no little expense to the municipalities for legal expense.
