j. s. HOTEL FOR
WOMEN IS
PLANNED
Proposal to Get Hearing Be-
fore Senate District Com
mittee Friday.

A proposal to establish a co.
operative hotel for women employees
Of the Federal Government will be
the subject Of hearing before the
Senate District Committee Friday.
Mrs. ]. H. Boggs, Peter Drury,
president Of the Merchants Bank,
and others are said to be interested
in the project, which involves a loan
Of considerable proportions from the
Federal Treasury.
The plan includes the cooperative
ownership and management of the
hotel by the employees who VIII &C.
cupy it. The money borrowed from
the Government will be paid back
at the current interest rate. Details
Of the proposition are said to have
been perfected and will be an.
nounced to the Senate committee at
the hearing.
While the general opinion in Con.
gressional circles Is that loans for
proposals of this type will be diff
cult to obtain in the future. because
Of Congressional opposition, the
Senate District Committee intends
to analyZe the plan and find out
whether It is workable. II is
pointed out that hotels Of this type
might have considerable influence
in relieving the housing shortage.
Another hearing upon the Nc
Kellar scent fare resolution will he
held by the Senate District Commit
tee tomorrow morning.
The regular committee meeting
slated for today was postponed.

10 7 FIGHT
PRECEDE5
VOTE
Fitzgerald Measure Will Be
Reported to House, District
Committee Decides.

After a bitter fight, during which
charges and counter-charges flew
thick and fast, the House District
Committee today voted to favor
ably report to the House the Fitz-
gerald bill providing workmen's
compensation for the District of
Columbia.
The final vote on reporting the
bill was 8 to A. The ayes were
Congressman Sullivan, Lampert,
Keller, Fitzgerald, Gibson, Rath-
bone, Gasque, O'Brien, and Ham,
mer, and the hayes Congressman
Underhill, Blanton, Gilbert, and
Kunz.
Bill Long DeadlOcked.
The measure was reported from
subcommittee by it's author, Con-
+. gresham Roy G., Fitzgerald, of
Ohio. The bill has been in sub
committee for more than three
months and has been deadlocked for
several weeks.
When the report was made to
the full committee, Congressman
Stanley H. Kunz of Illinois. re-
Quested that q day be set aside at
which the full committee might take
up the bill for amendments.
This motion was opposed by Con-
gressan Fitzgerald, who declared
that the bill has been given more
careful consideration than any piece
Of District legislation ever pre-
sented. He declared that a cam
paign has been carried on for months
in magazines and newspapers
throughout the country, and that
the measure has been given the
fullest publicity
Kunz Motion Beaten.
The Kunz motion was then voted
down, to 6.
Congressman Fitzgerald charged
that opponents of the bill, in re-
Questing that the report be delayed
were INDUCING in dilatory tactics.
The only point Of contention, he
stated, was over the plan to make
the compensation fund an exclusive
Government administered fund. The
opponents of the measure wish to
have private insurance companies
empowered to handle this form of
insurance.
The bill was the subject Of a bit
ter fight on the floor of the House
at the last session Of Congress as a
result Of which a number of pieces
Of important District legislation
failed of enactment.

IN EFFECT
50 DAYS
HENCE
Final Plea by Commissioner
in Letter Ignored-ProVis-
ions Hard on Owners.

The gasoline tax bill, passed by
Congress over the opposition Of
the District Commissioners and
numerous business and civic Or
CARNATIONS of Washington, be-
came law today through the ap-
pendage thereto of the Presidents
signature.
President Coolidge signed the
measure as one of the first acts
of his official day. The gas tax
provision Of the bill will 60 into
effect in thirty days.
Commissioners Ignored.
A letter in which the Commits
sioners reiterated their opposition
to the bill as. finally drafted and
stated the Objectionable features
found in the measure by District
organizations was placed in the
Presidents hands last night upon
his return to the White House from
New York.
The gasoline tax bill was drawn
originally by the Commissioners
early this year, and was designed
to effect automobile reciprocity with
the State Of Maryland.
The bill as passed by Congress
and signed by the President, pro-
vides a tax Of 2 cents a gallon on
all gasoline in the District, a per-
sonal property tax of $1.2O on 800
on the value of all cars and the
payment of an automobile tag Ii
cense Of 81 a year.
Property Tax Added.
AS originally drawn the personal
property tax was not included in
the bill.
The receipts from the tax pro.
visions of the measure, which esd.
rates have put at 100000 q year,
will be used in maintaining and re-
pairing the District streets and
lights.
Through the passage Of the meas
ure, reciprocity is effected with
Maryland, and District motorists
will not be required to purchase
tags of that State before driving
their cars on Maryland roads.
Objectionable Features Cited.
In the letter of the Commission
ers to the President commenting
upon the measure as passed, it
was declared that the bill contains
many Objectionable features.
These Objectionable features out
lined by the business organizations
CT the District consisted chiefly in
the belief that the measure would
compel the District to pay for
much street construction that the
United States would under other
conditions be required to finance.
Although the President was not
asked to veto the bill, the Commits.
sioners made 1t clear that such
action would not be displeaSing to
them.
The gasoline tax bill as a means
toward obtaining reciprocity with
Maryland has been the storm cen
ter of opposing interests since the
question was first acted upon in
January.
Aided by Governor.
On the first day of the year Gov.
ernor Richie of Maryland, at the
request of the District Commission
ers, temporarily set aside the regu.
lations requiring District motorists
to purchase Maryland tags until
Congress should pass a bill which
would impose gasoline tax equal
to that of Maryland.
The bill was introduced in Con.
gress, and after heated delibera-
ton, during which it was altered
and realtered, it finally passed both
houses in an amended form.
