CHECK AUTO REPAIR
RAUDSN DISTRICT
Experts Of Owners Society
Detect Cheats by Posing
As Workmen.

Fair treatment and competent work.
manship by repairmen in the District
Of Columbia is assured to automobile
owners by the District of Columbia
division Of the American Automobile
Association as result of its recent
campaign against profiteers and bung-
lers.
The association received 1,214 COM
plants of unfair treatment. which
were used as a guide in sending a
committee Of mechanical experts into
thirty-one shops as workmen to study
conditions. Eleven establishme n 3
were found blameless. Evidence was
compiled against the other twenty and
presented to the managers. In every
instance reforms were obtained with
out the use of threats.
The most Objectionable practice
found was that OF overcharging by al
lowing a mechanics time to run on
one job which he had left to work
on another. In many other cases an
owner unfamiliar with the mechanism
OF his car was induced to pay for un-
necessary repairs. In some cases the
overcharge was attributed TO lack of
business system.
As a result OF the campaign, it Is
reported, some repairmen have reduced
their time charge from $3.50 to S125,
and even 81. an hour. Others who
were in the habit of accepting work
beyond the capacity of their shops
have promised to send such work to
specially equipped establishments
In several hundred cases owners
have been convinced that their COM
plants were unfounded. Several law
suits have been stopped.
The association has obtained 100
questionnaires, which are on file in
its office. showing the capacity and
rates of repairmen. The information
is available to all motorists, whether
members Of the association or not.

GERMAN PEOPLE WANT
PEACE IMMEDIATELY
Hun Government Worried By
Attitude Of POpulace To-
ward Terms.

United Press Staff CorreSp0ndent.l }
Berlin, April s7.-0n the eve Of the
departure Of the main body Of German
delegates for Versailles, the government
today was showing alarm at the grow
ing tendency of powerful industrial and
commercial interests to demand imne-
date peaee-even if the terms are nard-
er than anticipated.
This apparent Inclination Of the con
servative element to adopt the same at
titude as the radicals is understood to
have split the cabinet into two camps,
one in favor of signing the treaty and
the other opposed to it. The latter fac
tion, headed by Foreign Minister brock
dorff -Rsntzau. believes the allies win
''baek down" when confronted by the
danger Of bolshevism in Germany. 1t
is also encouraged BY Italy's withdraw
al from the conference.
The ndustrials consider bolshevism
worse than Indebtedness, and do not
want their business further ruined oy
continuation Of the economic blockade.
"The people demand peace, food and
work Immediately, " declared hugo
