PROBE OF HACKING
.LHWSND. c. URGED
ZihIman Offers Resolution Pro-
Wding Investigating Com
mittee of Seven.

Congressman Frederick n. Zihlman
Of Maryland has offered in the house
a resolution providing for an investi-
cation by a select committee Of seven
members OF the alleged arbitrary
hacking laws" now in existence in the
District Of Columbia.
The resolution sets forth that for a
considerable period, and particularly
at the present time, there has been
and Is widespread complaint on the
part OF the public vehicle chauffeurs
Of the city. It is charged that the
private corporations or the District
are granted special privileges to the
detriment Of the individual driver.
Mr.. Zihlman says information has
come TO him that the powerful taxi
cab companies here, particularly those
doing business at the Terminal Sta
ton, have made IL almost impossible
for an individual hacker TO do busi-
ness.
Several members OF Congress have
called attention TO the alleged mo-
nopoly which they claim the taxi CON-
pany enjoys at the Terminal Station.
manded BY Congressman Treadway,
and the Zihlman resolution would
carry this provision.
The investigating committee under
the provisions Of the resolution would
be named by the Speaker of the
House. An appropriation Of $1,000 is
authorized to cover actual and neces
sary expenses that may arise.
