CAB COMPANY HEAD
DENIES RATE SLASH
Diamond President Brands RumorS
of Cut False-New Forces
to Be Considered.

Branding as false reports that his
company had under consideration a
definite plan for lowering cab rates in
Washington. Harry c. Davis president
and manager Of the Diamond Cab Co..
said today no immediate change in
prices was contemplated
The denial was made after repre-
sentatiVes of the Pro-TtX-U Cab Co.
said last night at a conference of the
Central Labor Union that their organ
ization would set a fiat 10-cent rate in
the city proper if the Diamond organ
ization adopted the three-zone system
rumored to have been accepted. The
scheme which was reported to have
been drawn up by Diamond officials di-
vided the city into a 20-cent area, COM
parable to the present 35-cent terri
tory: Accent district and a 60-cent
division to include points encircling the
city.
Mr.. Davis asserted that this plan had
received no more attention than anv
other in the monthly meetings of the
Independent Cab Owners Association
operators of the Diamond Cab Co.
The Diamond head added that at a
special meeting tonight the problem
might again be examined, but he did
not name any particular figures which
would be mentioned.
The Pro-TeXU Co. was formed here
several months ago, following a rift be-
tween the chaufTeurS branch of the
Central Labor Union and Diamond Of
