D. c. LABOR BILL
HELD UP IN
SENATE
Two Compensation Proposals
Discussed In Committee
Without Result.

The Senate District Committee
today discussed the Underhill work
mems compensation act. but action
upon 1t was postponed until the
committee meeting next week.
Congressman Underhill appeared
before the committee advocating
his measure, He said there was
no adequate compensation law in
washington and that legislation
was urgently required.
Labor interests favor the Fits
gerald bill because It provided for
Government compensation insurance,
while the Underhill bill provides
for insurance by private companies.
A hearing upon the measure will
be held by the Senate District
Committee at 2 o'clock next Tues
day.
The District Committee reported
today favorably two minor bills
one providing for the widening of
First street northeast to a width
of sixty feet and the other closing

AUTOHORNONCE
OPPOSED BY
LAWS
First Manufacturer Uses
100000 in Educational
Campaign.

From the days of Moses there
have been laws enacted to restrict
the use of new inventions under the
misguided impression that such laws
were for the public good.
There was such legislative objec-
tion against the early motor driven
automobile horns by many of the
most progressive States. These same
States have since then legislated to
enforce the use of horns with sharp,
harsh, penetrating notes.
The Klaxon company, which put
the first motor driven automobile
horn on the market in 1908, was
forced to spend more than 100000
in an educational campaign to over
come public opinion and legislative
measures against the use OF the In
strument itself. .
The first type Of hand operated
automobile horn was a kind OF reed
and bulb instrument, working some
what on the principle Of the organ.
The vibration was produced by
means of a metal strip. The sound
lacked penetration and had no con-
tinuous volume. This was before
the days OF the lead storage battery.
The second type of horn was of
the buzzer variety-electrical
