Va. WILL FIGHT
NEW GAS TAX:

CLARENDON. Va, Oct. u Re
plying to statement as published
by Hug Reid. member of the Nir-
Sinia House of Delegates to the
effect that the County Board of
Supervisors of Arlington CSunty
have taken no action to protest
against the contemplated change in
the distribution Of the gasoline tax
money by the State. r. NJ. lledrick,
supervisor from Arlington District
declared today that it is obvious the
SUPERVISORS want no change in the
distribution of the funds and the
passing of resolutions by them
would have no effect.
Our duty is to see that the funds
coming in to the county treasury are
eXpende" properly and it is the duty
of the Representatives in the LeGis-
lature to protect their respective
counties, Hedrick said
Should a plan such as is being
proposed for the distribution of the
gasoline tax become effective Airing
ton County would suffer more than
any county in the state and | feel
confident that our representatives
in the State Legislature will oppose
any such plan as the area, plan now
being discussed" he said.

ED DAYTON'S HOPE OF ESCAPING CHAIR
MANUFACTURER
URGES LOBBY
INQUIRY

NEW YORK, Oct. II
1.N.S.) "A congressional in
vestigation of "the entire
realm of lobbying at the seat
of the National Government"
is welcomed by the National
Association of Manufacturers,
it was asserted this afternoon
by John +. Edgerton, of Nash
vile, Tenn, president of the
organization, in a speech at the
thirty-fourth meeting of the
association
Edcerton maintained that manu-
facturers who have just causes and
are employing honest methods of in
terpreting them to those in public
office" have nothing to fear from
such an inquiry.
Quick and Thorough
"The sooner and more thoroughly
such an investigation is done the
better it will be for orga MIA tons
like ours which represent in proper
and unashamed ways distinct bodies
of opinion on public questions which
have a right and ought to he known
TO the powers of Government, said
Edgerton.
The manufacturing industry has
within it's own constituency all the
strength necessary to the accom-.
plishing for itself in open, legitimate
ways, everything to which justice
entities it, and also TO the defending
of itself successfully against any
vicious attack or imposition"
Edgerton declared the manufac.
turing industry needs no privileges
and requires no favors at the baud
of Government or society," IA
matter of fact. he said the rank
and file of manufacturers through.
out the country want none and are
not asking for any.
All Blamed for Few
But" continued Edserton, tine
indefensihle activities of the fsla-
lively few who operate. at Wash.
ington, either in person or through
privately employed Hobbies. to secure
undeserved considera tions, are zen.
surably responsible for the undis-
eliminating charges Of greed and
selfishness constantly hurled at the
industry in general"
He asserted that "misimpressions"
are thus created and hostilities
aroused which frequently crystalline
into legislation hurtful as much to
the innocent ma jority as to the
guilty minority at which it is lev.
elled. Likewise. because Of the
errors of the few. the many are
sometimes denied that which they
both deserve and need for general
welfare

Washington. are to be considered
at hearing ny the Public Utilities
Commission beginning Wednesday,
October %. at 10 o'clock, it was an

of such busseS entering the city in
crraSeS.
An attempt of the Nevin Lines.
Inc, one of the largest of such
companies, to change it's buss

brought the problem to a head ac-
Cording to the Commission.

HOSTESS
EVIL ST|RS
.. NEW YORK
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN

NEW YORK, Oct. IA
UN.S.). - The rapid and
mushroom like growth" of
speakeasies, night clubs and
dance palaces. where young
girls are employed as Ghost
esses," is blamed for the ac-
celeration Of commercialized
vice in New York in a report
made public today by "the
committee Of a."
Attractive girls lured by Broad.
way" come to New York from small
towns and cities all over the coun-
try and end up by becoming host
esses," an extremely precaricus
position, according to the commit.
tee. OF the hundreds OF "hostesses"
cases investigated, comparatively
few We're found to be native New
York girls.
Clubs Springing UR
"CIandestine clubs are popping
up all over the city. Speakeasies
are multiplying rapidly. More and
more gilded dance halls are spring
ing up. Practically all Of these
places employ hostesses. whose job
it is to entertain male customers
by drinking. dining and dancing
with them.
Certain night clubs are perfectly
respect BILE, as are many hostesses.
But. the committees investigation
OF 392 night clubs and speakeasies
and 99S POSSESSES" disclosed, there Is
an increa singly heavy vice traffic
being carried on and 1t is done so
furtively and shrewdlY it is diff
cult to combat.
Name a Subterfuge
while many places call them
selves 'clubs.'t he name is really
subterfuge," the committee report
SAYS.
II isn't the big butter and egg
men" from the West who support
these clubs. Anent this aspect OF
the situation. the report asserts:
CONTRARY to the idea Of certain
fiction writer's. most OF the patrons
Of these colsed door places are not
wealthy old men who merely want
20 spend money and are satisfied
with the attentions of "gold-di9sers. y
The majority are young men, fire.
| quently of small means"
A certain type of employment
agency contributes its part by pro,
viding hostesses for the clubs.
Eishty-six such agencies were inves-
! tigated. Concerning this phase of
! it's probe. the committee says:
