' STREET CARS ARE GUARDED‘; Utilities Headsj Hear Complaints of Drivers. BULLETIN The Public Utilities Com- mission at 3 o'clock granted striking taxicab drivers per- mission to file a schedule of | new rates immediately and | promised they would act on it | at once, waiving the custom- i | ! | ary 10 days’ notice. The taxi drivers immediate- ly took the question of con- tinuing the strike under ad- visement. Striking taxicab drivers crowded the | Public Utilities Commission offices this | afternoon in an attempt to gain de- mands that caused the walkout this morning of 4,000 drivers. The strike was called at 3:30 am. after a mass meeting called to protest what they described as the “unfair” warning of People’s Counsel William A. Roberts ta Shriners to be wary of excessive cab charges. At once District transporiation fa- cilities became seriously crippled as vanguards of the great crowds of the Shrine convention began to arrive. i Crowds jammed street car platforms and vainly hailed cabs that refused to =top. Reports of minor violence drib- bied into police headquarters. Union drivers were to meet at 3 o'clock this afternoon at 423 G street to decide whether to continue the strike, originally called for 12-hour duration. Harry Davis, president of the In- dependent Taxicab Owners’ Associa- tion. Diamond operators and his com- pany’s counsel, Ringgold Hart. led the driver-representatives to the Utilities Commission. The strike order was issued by Adolph Hohensee, business agent of the Cab Drivers’ Protective Associa- tion. after 2,000 drivers voted a 12- hour walkout. at the rally at First and M streets northeast. the parking lot of the Diamond Cab Co., operator of 1.500 cars. Retraction Demanded. The strikers demand retraction of Roberts' statement: permission to charge hourly rates during the Shrine | convention; removal of 350 General | Motors cars brought here to furnish | transportation to Shrine leaders, and an increase in zoned rates. Public Utilities Commission Chair- | man Riley E. Elgin at noon promised | an early decision on the drivers’ de- mands. Roberts refused to retract his statement, but made a statement which Strike Manager Hohensee de- ! clared was satisfactory. He said: | “If anything has been attributed to me reflecting on the character of the taxicab drivers. I am sorry and | desire to state that they are a selected | and licensed group equal to that in | any other city.” | Drivers of two associations, the | Diamond and Consolidated, were first ta strike Soon other companies fell in line when their cabs were forced | by strikers to curbs and made to dis- | charge their passengers under thre: | By noon 16 drivers had been ar-| rested.

Shriners Manage To Travel Despite Taxi Driver Strike With no taxicabs to greet them Shriners arriving at Union Station this morning resorted to street cars, busses and their own feet to reach their hotels. Busses holding 40 people were chartered at $4 per bus for some of the groups. Almas Temple guides offered information on street car schedules to their brethren from far places. A fleet of 350 special Shrine cars carried high officials from the depot. Potentate Smith, Shrine chair- man, was at the station greeting nobles and assuring them the con- vention was not responsible for the strike. THREE D. C. BILLS PASSED IN HOUSE | Approval Given Measure In-| creasing Scale of Fees by Recorder of Deeds. A Senate-approved bill increasing the scale of fees charged by the office of the recorder of deeds was passed today by the House. It was the first of nine District bills on the House calendar called up by Acting Chair- man Palmisano of the District Com- mittee for District day. Two Other Bills Passed. Without debate, the House passed next in rapid succession two other Senate-approved bills—one creating a new misdemeanor of ‘negligent homi- cide” and the other authorizing the Commissioners to pay an award of $1.316 to Lyman C. Drake for injuries received in the District service. Six other bills were on the calendar. Legislation charged by ihe recorder of deeds had been recommended to place the office on a self-sustaining basis. The bill increases the cost of each certificate and seal from 25 to 50 cents. the fee for filing and indexing or for making a certified copy of any instrument containing 200 words or less from 50 cents to $1.50.

Outstanding among the six other bills are those creating a special com- mission fo fix and control rentals as well as a commission to select a site | for the long-proposed municipal air- port.

R. A. in skeleton form. The resolution was received from the House at the opening of the Sen- ate seasion, but Harrison made no im- mediate move to call it up. N. R. A, foes said they would oppose it. N. R. A. critics were ready to ask that the resolution be referred to the | Finance Committee in an effort to| have it amended to restore the anti- trust laws. Whether Harrison would agree to this depended on the attitude of his committee. Opponents of N. R A. contended the House resolution would continue the authority for relaxing the anti-trust laws under agreements between busi- | ness leaders for regulation of trade practices. Tries to Halt Opposition. Harrison tried to avert opposition by contending the snti-trust suspen- | sion was eliminated, and that. anyway. | the administration had no intention | of using it. But he made little head- way. Senators Borah, Republican, of Idaho and others wanting restoration ' of the anti-trust laws contended they | had the votes to send the resolution | to committee for study. | Senator Long, Democrat, of Louisiana | returned to the Senate today from Louisiana, augmenting the opposition forces. If the legislation should hot be pass- ed this week, the remnants of the re- | covery law which the Supreme Court left when it struck down the vast code structure would automatically expire next Sunday at midnight. Then the leaders would have to start all over again by drafting a new law in lieu of the present legis- lation. which is merely a resolution repealing some parts of the old | N. L. R. A. and continuing others. Coal Strike Impends. A twin worry for administration leaders, in addition to N. R. A, was the soft coal crisis, in which a strike call to 450,000 men is impending for next Monday, unless the problem is solved. However, leaders saw hope of a solution in an announcement by Charles O'Neill, chairman of the Bituminous Coal Producers’ Legisla- tive Committee, that the committee had reached an accord with the United Mine Workers on & proposed revision of the Guffey coal stabilization bill. ‘This measure, permitting price-fix- ing, embodies regulation which has been likened to a “little N. R. A.” its backers say it would aim to give the producers sufficient income to pay the wages and provide for the hours de- manded by the union. | Readers’ Guide Page. .B-16 .B-12 .B-12 .A-10 -17-18-19 ...A-11 Amusements ..

June 10— State employes will have a “pay- less payday” this week unless the Legislature enacts the general appropriations bill—one of a group of measures potent with dispute to be settled within the remaining (wo weeks of the session. Ordinarily thousands of em- ployes would receive checks Fri- day, but Senator Clark, chairman of the " Senate Appropriations Committee, says his group has not completed study on the bill which allots $147,000,000 for the general expenses of the govern- ment in the two years which be- gan June 1, When the bill is brought from committee it must be passed three times on different days and if amendments are made the House must approve them.

By the Associated Press. Restoration of the old 4 per cent interest rate on P. W. A. loans to States and communities under the $4,000,000.000 work program was an- nounced today by Secretary Ickes. who said the change was designed to attract private capital to finance the expenditures not donated by the Fed- eral Government. The rate was lowered to 3 per cent | on May 24, at the same time the Ped- eral donation on non-Federal P. W. A. projects was raised from 30 to 45 per cent. Ickes said the change made today was recommended to President Roose- velt by the Advisory Committee on | Allotments. This committee assembled today for an important session at the White House. It is studying ways of spend- ing the $4,000,000,000 works fund. President Approves. Ickes also said the President had given permission to continue the old P. W. A. policy of making grants only where States and cities were able to supply the remaining cost from their own funds or by borrowing pri- vately. | He explained the changes were made to encourage communities with good credit to apply for grants only. “In many instances,” he added. “this 3 per cent rate made it inad- visable for communities with rea- sonably good credit resources to utilize such credit outside the Federal Gov- ernment.” “The adjustment of terms,” Ickes said, “is made in an endeavor to re- duce the share of the cost borne by the Pederal Government of re-employ- ing men in the work-relief program by making it possible to loan more money instead of making 100 per cent grants to achieve re-employment ob- jectives, and also to permit communi- ties to supplement the Federal grants only through utilization of their own funds or credit resources, opening sources of private capital without re- course to Federal loans. “The sdjusted terms were estab- lished in the desire to place the Gov- ernment in a position where it eould cause a dollar’s worth of re-employ- ment construction by an expenditure of 45 cents of the emergency relief appropriation of 1935.” Indiana Posse Kills Fugitive.
