CHAUFFEURS' UNIONDISTRICT TO HAVE WANTS EVEN SCALE Local Orgamzatlon ‘Hopes to Interest Congress in Uni- form Cab Rate. Plans to interest Congress in & uniform taxicab rate for the Dis- trict, based upon a “living wage” for the driver, were lald at a mass meeting of union taxicab drivers at the head- quarters of the local Chauffeurs’ Union, 500 H street, last night. The plan to appeal for & uniform rate was adopted as the.best means for combating the recent growth of 35- cent “city proper” taxicabs, which are operating on a percentage of pay for their drivers lower than that demanded in union agreements with meter cab operatars. E. C. Rayford, business agent of the Chauffeurs’ Union, today reported Sen- ator Capper, chairman of the Senate District committee, as “interested” in the union’s plan for a uniform taxicab rate. Bills are pending in both houses of Congress, Rayford said, which would give the Public Utilities Commission lu- thority to fix a standard rate aff thorough investigation of the taxi b situation here. Meanwhile one of the 35-cent cab companies today reported that it has abandoned its original plan of paying its drivers 30 per cent of the fares taken in, against the 40 per cent de- manded for drivers by the union, and has instituted a system of renting the cars to drivers at 6 cents a mile, and supplying call service for them. The operator of this firm this morning de- clared men must make at least 10 cents a mile to return a profit on their efforts, but many are averaging considerably more than that. Another of the 35-cent cab companies today reported that five of its cabs have been rented to drivers on the basis of 5 cents a mile, without the benefit of calls. These cabs will be operated as hacking machines. The plan is an ex- periment, and if it proves profitable others of the firm's machines will be placed on this basis. SEVEN PERSONS HURT IN FILM EXPLOSION Plate-Glass Window in Theater Broken—Total Damage Is Estimated at $3,500. By the Associated Press. ATHENS, Ohio, April 9.—Seven per- sons were injured when an explosion of projecting films broke a plate glass window in the second story of the Co- lumbia Theater here last night. The injured persons were cut by flying glass as they reached the street after hurrying from the theater. Fire which followed the blast was confined to the projecting room. Damage was estimated at _$3,500. Five of the injured are students at Ohio University. The condition of none is serious. About 300 persons were in the theater at the time of the explosion. They did not learn of the impending danger immediately, as burning of the films did not affect the talking mechan- ism of the movie, although the picture itself vanished from the screen. Walter Bobo, operator, was unable to determine what caused the explosion, but it was believed to “have resulted from short-circuited wires.

ITS DAY IN HOUSE Tilson Assures McLeod Local Bills Will at Last Be Taken Up Monday. If nothing unforeseen interferes, the District will have its long-awaited day in the House next Monday. This was the assurance given today to Acting Chairman McLeod of the Dis- trict committee of the House by Repre- sentative Tilson of Connecticut, major- ity leader. McLeod impressed upon Til- son the need for time on the floor for consideration of an accumulation of bills reported favorably by the District com- mittee. “Mr. Tilson has assured mec,” McLeod told the District committee today, “that the House will devote next Monday to local legislation, providing nothing un- foreseen develops to warrant postpone- ment of action.” There are approximately 15 District bills on the House calendar at present. A number of these are of major char- acter. Among these are the bills to re*uhu sale of dnngerous weapons, the icemen and firemen's pay increase bm the amateur boxing bill and the measure to change the method of ap- pointing members of the Board of Pub- ltc Welfare. —— For several centuries before Christ up to the present day there has existed a sect of men in India who, by practising a series of self-tortures, have succeeded in making themselves regarded as holy.
