ZONE SYSTEM
PROPOSED
Delay Of More Than a Week
Is Expected on Decision;
Opinions Clash at Probe

Aiming at a new and binding
code to govern taxicab problems
In the District, the Public Utili-
ties Commission convened today
to study the record of sugges-
tions, recommendations and testi-
mony compiled at yesterdays
public hearing on the situation.
It is not likely that the COM
mission viii arrive at a decision
in the matter for more than a
week.
Flat Rate Fight Center
The flat-rate zone system en-
ployed by the majority OF cab
companies in the District ap-
peared the bone of contention at
the hearing yesterday. both from
the side Of the cab owners and
operators and the public. Testi-
rnony brought out that there are
no regulation boundaries OF the
verious zones.
Capt. Walter Dunlap, engineer
of the commission, submitted a
number of maps, suggesting
boundaries for the various zones.
These maps will be studied by the
commission with a view Of estab-
lishing standard rates in the zone
system.
Testimony Of a score Of wit
nesses at the taxicab hearing
yesterday revealed that there is
chaos in the Capitals cab in
duStry.
Representatives Of cab com
panies told the commission that
the flat-rate zone system, now in
use by the majority of cab com
panies, did not give them a fair
return on their investment.
Public Is Satisfied
, Representatives Of the cab-rid-
ing public testified, however, that
more persons were riding cabs
today than ever before and the
reason for this was the flat-rate
system.
The zone rate system was
blamed for tie alarming increase
in the number of cabs and driv'
ers. Thirty per cent Of cab drivers
today, it was testified, have EN-
p1oyment in the Government and
other departments during the day
time and have converted their pri
vate cars into cabs for night-hack
ing. Many of these, the commits
sion was told, are hacking in order
to pay for their cars.
There is no way of owners
checking on receipts on cab driv
ers by the zone rate system and
this, it was stated, has caused
widespread dishonesty among the
cab drivers.

Fears RevOlts
In the Orien t

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3-Worried
about the drop in the price of silver
because it would bring in it's train
revolutions and wholesale debt repu-
diations in the colonies and in the
Orient generally, J. F. Darling, di-
rector of the Midland Bank of Lon
don, England, talked before the
Senate Subcommittee on Foreign Re-
lations here yesterday.
"The emergency of this situation
presented by the depressed price of
silver and its effect on the purchas-
ing power of one-half of the human
race in the Orient" said Darling.
"is so clear to me that 1 have taken
it upon myself to come to America
and have visited other countries to
study the feeling towards the pos
sible remedy. If something is not
done we may face disasters which
we have not even contemplated.
The present condition of world
trade and silver depression should
be given immediate attention"

NEW YORK-The scandal of en-
ployers firing old employees and sup
plying their places with lower paid
men secured from the city free en-
ployment agency has become so great
that the committee on unemployment
of the Community Councils of New
York has been forced to go through
the motions Of an investigation. The
certainty that this will be a white
washing is indicated by the continued
decision to mention no names. The
committee at its meeting some days
ago heard open admissions Of this
situation from Frank P. Walsh, chair
man. u ---a
Yesterday the investigation was to
start. The representatives of the
committee are supposed to go to the
heads of the big corporations who are
using the city free employment
agency as a scab office and ask them
politely to fire the new man now
and hire the old one back.
The scandal is increased by the
fact that the employers known to be
using the employment machinery of
the city for wage-cutting purposes
are exactly those who with great dis
play of generosity contributed funds
ito relieve the unemployed" and in
the delicate language Of the commit
tee, urged their employees to con-
