Governments Manipulate
Prices.

Charging a manipulation Of crude
rubber prices by British colonial gov
ernments, Representative Tilson Of
Connecticut, the Republican leader, to-
DAY introduced a resolution asking for
an investigation by a House commit
tee.

Mr. Tilson asserted United States in
dustries are paying 500. 100000 more
annually for crude rubber than is war
ranted.

with Secretary Hoover before offering

Immediate consideration of the reso-
luton was blocked, pending DISPOSE
ton of the tax reduction bill, and Mr..
Tilson said he would ask for action on
1t tomorrow.
Mr.. Tilson suggested that Henry

Senator Norris replied there is no
room there now.
Senator King of Utah asked Senator
Capper whether the resolution was so
broad that it might dismiss employees
on December Is whose services might
be indispensable for the protection of
property. Senator Capper replied that
the only purpose was to provide pay
ment for per diem employees on that
day.
Senator Hale Of Maine then offered
the amendment to the resolution which
would insure pay for the navy yard
workers for the holiday. With this
amendment the resolution was adopted.
Amendment to Bill.
The amendment to the December IS
holiday bill as reported favorably to
the House today, provides that all
employees Of the United States Govern
ment in the District of Columbia and
bia shall be entitled to pay for this
holiday the same as on other days"
Mr.. Zihlman's report points out that
Saturday, December rs, 1925. is a half
holiday and under the terms of this
bill will be made a legal holiday for
the entire business period. He then
quotes the executive order of Presi-
dent Coolidge dated December IL.
Following this he quotes the language
of the joint resolution adopted by Con-
gress on January 6. 1885, which takes
care of employees of the Navy Yard,
Government Printing Office, Bureau Of
Printing and Engraving and all other
per diem employees Of the Government
to enjoy certain specifically named
holidays.
The report says that the amendment
Is added in order that all employees of
the Federal and District Governments
employed within the District of Column
bia shall be put on the same basis.

Col Mitchell, facetiously registered
his presence on the committee and his
support Of the Rathbone resolution
with a pun by saying that he believed
the price of coffee was sufficient
grounds for the proposed investigation.
Rules Committee Named.
At the suggestion of Chairman Zihl-
man and on motion of Mr.. Underhill,
committee on rules was appointed
TO govern the District committee in
debate. Mr.. Zihlman called attention
that the committee had the reputation
of being rather turbulent and that
the adoption of a set of rules he
believed, would expedite procedure
Mr.. Underhill expressed the belief that
the trouble heretofore has not been
so much with the rules, but that they
have not been observed or enforced
The committee to draft the rules Is
composed of Mr.. Zihlman, Mr.. Keller
and Mr.. Blanton.
The action taken by the commit
zee for disposing of many minor
measures in a bulk by broadening
the power of the District Commits
sioners was taken after Mr. Under
hill and Mr.. Gibson had explained
the situation. Mr.. Underhill insisted
that the time Of the committee had
been unduly taken up with a food
of minor measures and that members
Of the House had been irritated and
that in this way the District COM
p1ittee had lost standing in the House
He described the action taken today
rs q long step in progress which
would relieve the House committee
Of a great volume of routine work.
Rlaufop S,huits Nation
Mr.. Blanton, on account of a previ-
Gus engagement. was not able to at
tend the District committee meeting
today. but submitted a motion which
provided that the Rathbone subcom-
i1littee, which operated in the last
Congress. should be reorganized for
the present Congress with power and
authority to inquire into and report
back to the full committee on ques-
tons of law enforcement, court con-
ditions. traffic conditions. public con-
cessions and general welfare in the
National Capital. On motion of Mr.
Keller, with Mr.. Underhill concurring,
the Blanton motion was held over
until the next meeting of the COM
tnittee in order that Mr.. Blanton
might have an opportunity to argue
in support of his proposition.
Fifteen of the twenty-five members
Of the committee attended the meet
ing today, including all of the new
members, except Mrs. Mary L. Nor
ton of New Jersey. Chairman Zihl-
man announced that Mrs. Isabelle
Price had been appointed clerk,
Daniel r. Smith messenger. and Miss
G. H. Patterson assistant clerk of
the committee.

LA TOILETTE RAPS
COOLIDGE STAND
Senator Sharply Criticizes
Coal Strike Attitude of
Chief Executive.

By the Associated Press.
MADISON, Wis, December 1S.-
President Coolidge is criticized by
Senator Robert La Toilette, jr., Wis
consin, in an editorial In the current
issue of La Follette's magazine. for his
reported attitude toward the suspen-
sion of anthracite coal production.
Another editorial, signed by Sen
ator La Toilette. sets forth a refusal
of the Wisconsin delegation in the
House Ito compromise or to bargain"
with Speaker Longworth or with ANY
other member of the House."
After reviewing the anthracite sit
uation briefly, Senator La Toilette
writes:
"In the meantime the possibility of
a soft coal strike hangs over the
country. President Lewis has writ
ten President Coolidge a letter couch
ed in strong but respectful terms call
ing his attention TO the critical situa.
ton that has been created in the soft
coal fields by the violation of the So
called Jacksonville agreement by
many of the largest bitunlinous coal
operators.
Says Request Proper.
The Coolidge administration has
repeatedly proclaimed the Jackson
vile agreement as one of the greatest
achievements Mr.. Lewis properly
asks the President whether he will
use his influence to maintain the
validity of this contract for which his
administration was in a large measure
responsible or whether the coal miners
are to be forced to take such steps
as lie within their power to secure
its enforcement.
president Coolidge has not answer
ed. Through the mysterious White
House spokesman 1t is announced
that the President is terribly insulted
that he should be asked this en-
barrassing question. 1t Is announced
fuence the maintenance of the Jack

PREDICTS MERGER
OF ALL D. c. LINES
CoveII Expects Consolidation
of Entire Transportation
System of City.
n Of all of Washington's

Consolidation of all Of Washington 8
transportation systems-street rail-
way and bus lines-is confidently ex-
pected in the near future by Public
Utilities Commission experts as a re-
suit of the acquisition by the North
American Co. of New York Of a ma
jority of the capital stock of the
Washington Rapid Transit Co.
Maj. w. F.. r. Covell. assistant en-
gineer commissioner, assigned to pub
lie utilities work, predicted today that
the merger undoubtedly would come,
but when is a matter for conjecture
1T may come in day or 1t may be
two years" he said. but the purchase
of the controlling interest in the bus
company by the North American Co.
is the most hopeful sign l have yet
seen in the direction Of a merger.
The news Of a merger probably will
come just as sudden as the announce
ment of the North American Co.'S
acquisition Of the bus company's CAPT
tai stock"
Commissions Approval.
Any consolidation plan proposed by
the North American Co. will have to
be approved by the utilities commits
sion sa well as Congress, Maj. Covell
pointed out These two hurdles" will
be made easy, he indicated. If the
plan is evolved in the Interest Of the
public.
The direct effect Of a merger. Maj.
Covell declared prophetically. would
be the establishment Of universal
transfers, operation of the various
transportation systems under single
control, and a general rerouting of
the bus and street car lines. The bus
companies. he said, may be merged
into one division of the operating
company and placed under separate
control. The busses. however. in his
opinion, would all be kept In one
garage. thus reducing a large item of
overhead.
Transfer Privilege.
AS Maj. Covell emissions Washing
ton under unified transportation
system, the riding public will have
the privilege of transferring from the
lines of the Capital Traction Co. to
those of the Washington Railway and
Electric Co. free of charge.
While free transfers may be issued
from the bus lines to the street cars
Maj Covell believes that it will only
be done on payment of a cash fare
Passengers using tokens, in his opin-
Ion, may be required to pay for such
transfers, but bus to bus transfers
would be issued free.
