GHAUFFEURSW WILL
FIGHT MONOPOLY
Say Hacking stand Privileges
Are Nearly 400 Grabbed BY
Large TaxlCab Companies.

The recently organised public
chauffeurs' unions OF washington are
planning to night the alleged mo
nopoly on public thoroughfares
which. spokesmen for the unions
state, are now held By the large tax
ieab companies OF Washington.
Part OF the fiEht already has been
begun By the introduction Of resolu-
ton IN the House by Congressman
zIhlman, Of Maryland. The resolu-
tion provides for an investigation Of
the charges made BY the members Of
the unions against the taxicab com
panieS.
II is alleged that the tazicab com
panies "crowd out" the trade Of the
private chauffeurs By not allowing
them use Of certain streets on which
to solicit their trade. At Unlon Sta
tion the situation is said 20 be par
ticularlV bad for the owners Of public
vehicles and even Of private automo-
biles.
Public Vehicle Chauffeurs' Unions,
B25 and 654, were organized lately
with a combined membership Of ap-
proximateiy 500 white and colOred
chauffeufs.
A statement OF the fight about to
be launched against the corporations,
made by L. A. Sterne, an organizer
for the American Federation Of La
Dor, follows:
Public Vehicle Chauffeurs' Unions,
Nos. 025 and 654. were organized BY
me, the white local union now hav.
ing almost 500 members and the col
OrSd organisation about $50 members.
These workers have been collecting
data which % now on file, showing
cOnelusively that they are continually
being Disseminated against BY the
police department In enforcing the
hacking laws, and that when cases
are brought to the attention OF the
officials On charge, the statement Is
always made that corporations have
special privileges for the occupation
OF certain spaces. Yet the public
hacker paying q license IN the Dis
trict OF Columbia Is not allowed this
privilege.
Especially are conditions deplor-
able at the Union Station and at the
various large hotels IN this city. The
Public Vehicle Chauffeurs' Unions
have the support Of the Washington
central Labor Union and the Mary
land State and District OF Columbia
Federation OF Labor IN their fight to
improve conditions, and every effort
IS going to be made to convince the
House OF Representatives that this
resolution ought to be adopted and
an investigation asked"

ter may yet Be peaceably adjusted,

from the House.
stFenuous WsFlE.
During the war the coast guard per-
formed services Identical with those
OF the navy. The loss Of the coast
guard cutter Tampa Ga the Bristol
channel on September 20, 1913, cost
the lives OF 112 oRieers and enlisted
men. Except for the lCss OF the naval
vessel Cyciops, no such war parallel
h found in the naval history.
And IN peace the coast guard win
have more strenuous and dangerous
work 20 perform than the navy. Their
work only begins with peace. q isI
said, while the. work OF the navy con-
sists only % keeping Itself ready for
''the next war"
These are some Of the arguments
upon which the coast guard "gobsn
are basihg their plea for equal

An enlisted man in the United
States coast guard can live In wash
ington for $3.50 a month!

food and quarters on what It cost to
merely exist In the Nations Capital
in the golden days Of yOre, when pie
was selling for cents q slice and q
bowl Of Irish stew Ould be had for
a dime.
Times have changed. and so have,
prices. But the demand OF the hu-
man being for food and sleeping
quarters hasn't. So the United States
coast guard has taken the matter
to Congress, hoping the members Of
the Capitol Hi community will at-
just matters.
The coast guard, IN time OF peace,
is under the Treasury Department.
And Allowances for the men, when
stationed ashore On q city like Wash

nues. or what was once its original own
er's Eden farm, was ordered sold at auc-
ton In judgment OF partition granted

The order followed the report of a
referee to whom had been submitted the
question OF SO disposing Of the property
al to satisfy the claims of about forty
heirs The property consists Of a num-
Der Of parcels SO various in size and
character that II would not be practical
to allot 1t without first turning It into

The proceeds OF the sale will be d.
videc into $50 shares of which the va
rious heirs will receive large or little
atotments, according to their degrees of
klnship to William Backhouse Aston

Washington, Aug. 2l-Presi-
dent Wilson has no power to de-
clare peace by proclamation nor
could he consent to take such ac-
ton prior to ratification of the
formal treaty of peace by the
Senate, he so wrote to Senator
Fall, in answer to one of 20 ques-
tions the Senator presented at
the White House conference
Tuesday. AS to the question OF
when normal conditions will be
restored, he said he could only
express the confident opinion that
immediate ratification of the
treaty and acceptance OF the Lea
que of Nations covenant would
Certainly within the near fu-
ture reduce the cost of living
both here and abroad, through
restoration of production and
commerce to normal. TO ques-
ton relating to disposition of the
Germans possessions, he said
the treaty conveyed no title to
the allied powers, but merely
entrusts disposition of the terri
ory in question to their decision
