Hoover Gang Cuts Workers
Pay Tammany in Pay Grab
Less Than Sops for the
Jobless From Woods
Committee

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. "a
Nothing has been done for the I'M
employed by Hoover's starvation
board, headed by ex-Police Commits
sioner Wood of New York. Nor is
anything definitely proposed except
that the shipping board, having
fired thousands during the last six
months, now announces that 500
more (office employees these) whom
it intended to let go will be kept
for a time. Political observers
say-until after election day.
Postmaster General Brown has
announced that a few new places
will be found for part-time work.
ers in his department through re-
duction of hours of work for those
now employed.
And that is all, except that all
employers are urged to put the men
still at work on part-time! Even
the proposal of William Gibbs Nc
Adoo, that the unemployed, lacking
the ice cream Mayor Walker advises
them to eat, can chew wheat, is i'm
mediately rejected There is $751;
100000 worth of wheat being held
in storage by the Farm Board to
raise the price of bread. Alexander
Legge, chairman of the Farm Board,
yesterday hurried to answer Nc
Adoo, and declare that the wheat
will not be turned over to the job
less. He says to do that would be
against the law.
An Election Promise.
Creaking along and making plen-
ty of noise-at least until after
election-puffing out plenty of hot
air but doing nothing for the job
less, the starvation committee gives
an impression of action, but does
not result in action. 1t also gives
a strong impression based upon
current facts that it will confine
itself after the election to wage
cutting-the Hoover stagger sys-
tenn. 1t spent its meeting yester-
day and the, day before hearing tes-
timony from employers who mini
mixed the unemployment crisis.
Prominent among these was DR..
Charles F. Abbott, executive direc-
tor of the American Institute of
Steel Construction, who told, in de-
fiance of facts, the story that there
is no unemployment in the struc-
tural steel trades.
The workers must apply more
pressure, more organization of the
jobless, more organization in. the
shops to strike against wage cuts, a
big Communist vote to show the
rulers they have decided to fight!
No wage cuts! No "stagger sys-
tenn! Real insurance for the I'M
employed!

1t names the over-production of coffee in Brazil
OF sugar in Cuba, and of wheat in Canada, Argen-
tina and Australia, and the over-supply of silver
which "parayzed the buying power" of China, as
factors in the shrinkage of American trade.
'The effect is even greater than unemployment"
"Under the stress of economic strain revo-
lutionary activities have developed in large part
of South America, in China and in India. Other
governments menaced by Communism and die
tatorships. Over half of the world is in state
Of revolution at this time. This disturbed state in

the anxiety of foreign relations and the entire
economic and political fabric of the world is SUBJ

OBJECTS TO WOMEN
AS GRAND JURORS
Attorney Mackey, in Court
Plea, Holds They Are In
eligible for Service.

Special emphasis Is laid on the ineli-
gibility of women to serve as grand
jurors in a plea In abatement filed by
Attorney Crandal Mackey on behalf
of Policeman Ardie SwortZell and John
Elgin, who, with James CrottS, we've
recently indicted for an alleged con-
spiracy to extort' money from two
women.
The lawyer claims that the act giving
women the right to sit on petit juries
did not include grand jury service and
points to State laws which specifically
provide for grand jury service for wom-
en- in addition to trial jury service.
In the absence of such special legis-
lation, he asserts, women have been
held by State courts to be ineligible
for grand Jury service.
The point was raised In the appel
late court in the murder appeal Of
Malcolm Howard, but was disregarded
because not raised before the conviction
of Howard.
A number of other objections are
contained in the plea in abatement in
Guiding the presence In the grand Jury
room during the taking of testimony of
a deputy United States marshal.
A similar motion has been filed by
Attorney Raymond Neudecker on be-
half of CrottS, who was shot by s. F.
Gravelly, a detective of the third pre-
cinct, in front of the home of one of
the women whom he Is said to have
been attempting to shake down."

.KEECH WILL OPPOSE
MOVE TO RESTRICT
NUMBER OF TAX|S
Peoples Counsel Declares
Limitation Would Serve to
StifIe Competition.
REGARDS PLAN AS BAR
| TO NEW COMPANIES
Proposed Amendment Il Termed
Unfair to Public as Well as
Cab Operators.

Plans to oppose strenuously proposed
legislation which would authorize the
Public Utilities Commission to limit the
number of taxicabs in the District were
announced today by Richmond B.
Keech, peoples counsel.
An amendment to an act Of February
4, 1918, creating the commission, EN-"
bodying the suggested broadening in its
power will be considered by the Senate
District committee at a public hearing
next week. Members of the commission
have indicated they would endeavor to
have the committee take favorable &C
ton. The hearing, set for yesterday,
was postponed.
The proposed legislation, known as
"the public convenience and necessity"
amendment, follows:
mo vehicle included within the terms
Of paragraph ga shall hereinafter OPP
crate in said service without first having
obtained from the commission a Ger
tif1cate that public convenience and
necessity require such operation, but q
certificate shall be granted when it ap-
pears to the satisfaction of the commits
sion that the owner or operator Of any
such vehicle or vehicles was actually
operating in good faith such a service
on -, 1880, and had complied as Of
that date with all lawful orders of the
commission in regulating such service"
Fears Stified Competition.
Mr.. Keech declared he was afraid
such legislation might stifie compete
ton. He pointed out that under its
provisions the commission would be
able to prevent new companies from
operating taxicabs He said this might
result in serious situation from the
standpoint of the public.
MY attitude" Mr.. Keech explained
is that any person or company capa-
BILE OF and willing to obey reasonable
regulations should be permitted to start
taxicab service at any time. The more
cabs we have the lower rates the public
will get because of keen competition.
There Is absolutely no necessity for thus
amendment. It would be unfair to the
public as well as to those who engage
IN the taxicab business"
FavOrs Requiring Responsibility.
Mr.. Keech added he was in favor of
the general plan Of the commission to
require all taxicab companies to be A.
nancially responsible In case of acci-
dents. He said he had studied various
plans suggested, but had not decided
on which specific proposal he would
support
He said he favored another amend
ment sponsored by the commission
which would give the body power to
regulate the routes of buses operating
within the District. This amendment
also will be considered at an early
meeting Of the Senate District COM
mittee.
