TEN TESTIFY SERVICE POOR. RATE 700 HIEH

To Get Home Detailed By Dentist.

By RICHARD LEWIS « “Straphangers poured out heir grief on trolley and bus service in Indianapolis today as the Indiana public service commission held open house

on complaints. Approximately 75 riders of the public transportation system turned out for the public hearing in the senate chamber of the state house to air their views on the utility’s plea for a rate hike. The 10 citizens who tedlified this morning were unanimous about the service and fares. They described the service in terms ranging from “unsatisfactory” to “terrible” and asserted that the current 8's cent token fare is too high. “Battle” to Get Home Charles M. Cunningham of 60 N. Audubon rd., a dentist, related his struggles to go to his home in Irvington after a day's work. “It's a battle,” he told the commission. “On Nov. 8 I had a typical experience. I left my office near Washington and Pennsylvania sts. at 4:50 p. m. “It’s impossible to get on the E» Washington st. car at Pennsylvania st. so I walked to Missouri st. where 1 boarded car 141. It took me 13 minutes to walk this distance so that I ‘could get on the car, then it took the car 15 minutes to plough through traffic back to ‘Pennsylvania st. again. “That was 28 minutes 1 lost right At Pennsylvaiioyst car To

Mrs. Inez E. Thompson of 925 N. | Fwing st. said that the East side | service to her home was SO poor | that her husband can't get to work | on time. She said that when she | used trolleys to go to a doctor for arthritis treatments, she was com-| pelled to stand out in the rain+and cold so often that she resorted to taxicabs, “Last July,” she said, “I thrown against the ticket box, infured my leg, sprained my ankle and couldn't walk for six weeks. . “Did you get the number of the] par and the operator's number?” |

BELIEVE BREAK NEAR IN COAL MINE DISPUTE

Approaches.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 (U. P.. —As the zero-hour drew nearer for a scheduled soft coal shutdown at midnight, goverhment officials belfeved today that John L. Lewis will act before the deadline to prevent a mass walkout of 400,000 United Mine Workers,

They based their belief on the fact that the U. M. 'W. chieftain must do something soon to free himself of liability to contempt action. Such action is possible if he defies a federal court order that he call off he ghreatened shutdown. - Some support for the viewpoint of government officials was seen in a report that Mr. Lewis was in huddle with U. M. W. attorneys to decide what to do.
