the committee under a five-minute
rule.
A motion by Mr.. Blanton held over
from the orga MIA ton meeting before
the Christmas holidays was brought
up. This proposed continuing the So
called law and order subcommittee
that operated in the Sixty-eighth Con
gress, under the chairma nship OF
Representative Henry r. Rathbone.
Republican n. of Illinois. In explaining
some of the constructive legislation
that this subcommittee had intended
to frame. Mr.. Bla nton hit hard at
the practice of Washington hotels in
selling to certain taxicsb compa MES
exclusive right to the use Of public
streets at the hotel entrances.
He also attacked a similar policy
at Union Station and that of the
Office Of public buildings and grounds
in granting exclusive right to one
bus line In Potomac Park and to one
individual for concessions at the pub
lie golf courses. This provoked con-
sidera BILE discussion with emphatic
declarations by old and new members
Of the committee that such practices
should cease. When Mr.. BIanton was
questioned by Mr.. Hammer, Isn't
there a corpora ton counsel to advise
the District Commissioners on such
matters?' Mr.. Bla nton replied: There

said that you've said about all
Asks Dance Hall Control.
Mr. Gibson pOipted out anot her
objective Of this subcommittee for
control of dance halls, and he cited
"one near Thomas Circle which ought
to be brought under the law"
This discussion ended. Mr.. Blanton
withdrew his motion, saying that he
was able to protect his views on
these subjects in minority reports
and on the floor of the House, since
there seemed TO be opposition in the
cofnmitte.
Mr.. Blanton brought up the scent
csrfare bill. urging that If the com
mittee would report 1t out it could
be pa ssed by the House on Monday
He emphatically declared that the
street railway compa MES are robbing
the people OF the District under an
scent carfare allowed by the Public
Utilities Commission. and that they
should be forced to operate within
their charter, and tnat 1t was the
duty Of Congress particularly to pro-
tect ss, 900 Government employees from
being "gouged.' The entire street
railway situation was vigorously dis
cussed.
Delay Is Argued.
On the suggestion of Mr.. Gilbert,
who said he was in sympathy with the
Blanton bill, action was delayed for
q month In order that the committee
might be thoroughly informed to de
fend it's position when this legislation
was brought up in the House. MIR.
Keller announced that he will rein
troduce his bill for Government owner

tional Capital as the only ultimate
solution Of the problem.
