FINAL TOUCH
ON TODAY

Following brief session this
morning, the House and Senate
cOnferees on the DaIe-LehIbach
retirement measure decided to
postpone any further confer
ences until early next week,
owing to the press Of other
legislative issues upon them.
Probabilities today were that
the Dale-Lehlbach civil service re-
tirement bill, liberalizing the
existing retirement laws, will 60
to the White House for sigma
ture by the President before the
end of this week.
The House conferees on the
bill, which was slightly amended
by the Civil Service Committee,
were designated by Speaker Long
worth, and, it is believed that
only one meeting of the Senate
and House conference committee
Will be necessary. The Senate
conferees are expected to accept
the House amendments, and after
adoption of the conference re-
port, the perfected bill will be
sent to President Hoover.
Representative Robert II. Clancy
Of Michigan, a member of the
House Civil Service Committee.
asserted at the time of the pas
sage of the bill in the lower
chamber that he understood the
amended bill "is satisfactory to
Senator Dale and that it will be
signed by the President"
Conferees who will represent
the House are Chairman Lehl-
bach, of the Civil Service COM
mittee, and Representatives Addi-
son T. Smith, Idaho, and Lamar

are Senators Dale Of Vermont,

TAXI RATE WAR
F|NDSP.U. c.
HELPLESS

The imminent taxicab war, as
the result Of cabs operating any
where in the city proper for IS
cents, finds the Public Utilities
Commission in a position that
amounts to having its official
hands tied.
At least this is the general
opinion at the District Building,
where an effort is being made to
find some law under which the
commission may operate to bring
the independent mountaineering
taxicabs within the scope of its
power.
200 Cabs Operate
Approximately 200 cabs are be-
ing operated now by the cut-rate
companies and 1t is rumored that
new company to be operated
on the same plan Is preparing to
place 100 additional cabs on the
street.
All the Few cabs are Icing
operated under l. tags and as a
result can procure licenses for 81
and are under the supe vision of
the District Commissioner and
not the Public Utilities Commits
sion.
One suggestion has been put
forward, but one that will not
have the support of the companies,
and that Is to force all taxicabs
to operate under H" tags. This
would remove a number of "L"
tags from cabs now operating.
Court Action Seen
The only way to settle the
question of what constitutes a
livery vehicle and the definition Of
a hacker is to go to court. in the
opinion of utilities officials.
Recently the Commission issued
an order in which cognizance was
taken of the rates charged by a
local taxicab company which has
denied the commissions right to
enforce any order regulating its
operations. A test case will no
t.9ubt be made If the company
in question introduces a "jitney"
service, as has been rumored.
