TRAFFIC LAW CHECK
ON MESSENGER BOYS
Riders of Bicycles Will Be Re-
quired by Police to Obey D. G.
Regulations.

Messenger boys, on bicycles, who
have been enjoying apparent freedom
from official censorship in violating
traffic regulations in the past, riding
against "stop signs" and on the
wrong side of the street to the amazed
envy of motorists, are going to be
checked up by the police.
An echo came to the District build

where it was pointed out during a
debate on traffic regulations that the
messengers apparently enjoyed i'm
munity from arrest for transgres-
sions, and the result was an order
issued to the force by Maj. e. B.

Complaint is again made relative
to the failure of boys on bicycles,
especially messenger boys, to com
ply with the traffic regulations. Mem
bers of the force are again advised
that traffic regulations apply to bi-
cycles as well as to other vehicles
and it is specifically directed that
such regulations be rigidly enforced" Z"

TRADE BOD|ESH|T
FITZGERALD BILL
Invasion of Right of Contract
objection Cited-Unions
for Measure.

United opposition to the Fitzgerald
Workmen's compensation bill and sup
port of the Underhill workmen' s
compensation bill for the District was
expressed today in communications to
Congress from the Washington Board
OF Trade, the Washington Chamber
of Commerce and the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association.
The Central Labor Union, however,
which represents all union workers
in the District, and many thousands
of Government clerks have expressed
their opposition to the Underhill bill
and their support of the Fitzgerald
bill.
The Underhill bill allows employ
ers to place their insurance with prl-
Nate companies, while the Fitzgerald
bill creates a Government fund for
this insurance. The trade bodies argue
that they should be allowed to place
their insurance with any good solvent
company they desire. and declared
that the fund would be another step
toward Government in business.
The Central Labor Union, on the
other hand. is backing the Govern
ment fund because they feel that they
would be more sure of their inSur-
ance compensation. They state that
their experience with private insur-
ance companies constantly places
them in the position of having 10 col
leCt their compensation through the
courts and having their insurance
compensation materially reduced. y
Government fund, they feel, would in
sure prompter payment Of their
claims.
The Board of Trade insists in its
letter that the Fitzgerald bill violates
The freedom of contract and the prin-
ciple that competition is the life of

Old Problem Leaves

arguments Of all Investigators and
comparing the bewllderlng array OF
statistics gathered In many countries

Many statistlclans and other investi.
gntors who may qualify as experts on
the subject hold views Numerically
opposed to one another.
The answer TO this question has
Il general and far-reachlng influence
If II Is established that the chances
