HIGH ALLEY PRICE
FOUGHT BY CAPPER
Suggests Commissioners In.
woke General Licensing
Act of 1882.

A suggestion that the Commission
ers invoke the general license law of
1882 to regulate the business Of rent
ing alley houses until they are elimi-
mated was proposed today by Senator
Capper. Republican, Of Kansas. as a
means Of bringing about fair prices
for such property.
Would Balk Unfair Prices.
Discussing the new law Just signed
by President Roosevelt to authorize
the Government to eliminate inhab-
tied alleys, Senator Capper said:
Reports have come to me quite re-
Gently that the owners Of many in
habited alley shacks are planning to
hold their properties at 80 per cent
above the assessed valuation, which is
the maximum allowed for the pur-
chase of such properties under the
alley law. I think it would be very
unfortunate If the Government were
compelled to pay such exorbitant
prices for many of these novels which
are really unfit for human habitation.
Undoubtedly. the owners of such
structures will urge that their proper
ties have rental value and that COM
pensation should be given them on the
basis of such value. AS a matter Of
fact, great many Of these alley
homes have no valid rental value.
Their occupancy by tenants is excus-
able only on the grounds that the Dis
trict has no effective law for the con-
demnation Of insanitary buildings.
The District Government must wait
until these houses are in imminent
danger of crumbling to pieces before
they can be condemned as. unsafe.
believe that another approach should
be made to this problem so that the
Government shall not be compelled
to pay unfairly high prices for the
alley properties acquired under the
law.
Cites Licensing Act Of 1892.
I'm the license act for the District
of Columbia, approved July /, 1882,
the Commissioners are given full au-
thority to license all businesses and
callings, whether or not such under
takings are named specifically In this
license law. The act also gives the
Commissioners ample power to regu-
late these licensed businesses and to
revoke licenses by means of a Board
of Revocation set up by the Commits
sioners consequent to the enactment
OF the license law.
Since the enactment Of this i'm
portant statute, the Commissioners
have availed themselves of the pro-
visions of the law on numerous occa-
sions in revising license rates and in
setting up very comprehensive chap
ter of regulations for dry-cleaning
establishments. see no reason why
the Commissioners cannot license the
local traffic in alley dwellings"
Would Bring Prosecution.
Senator Capper said that in some
cases a person would own only one
or two alley houses, and could not be
considered as being in the renting
business. Further explaining his plan,

i. 5. PROBE ASKED
IN TRUCK STRIKE
Two Sources Claim Inter.
. state Shipping Is Being
Interferred With.

The Department Of Justice has
been asked to investigate a strike
paralyzing interstate trucking between
here and Philadelphia, it was learned
today, coincident with disclosure of
an apparent attempt to dynamite a
Baltimore warehouse.
The appeal for Federal aid in the
serious motor transportation tie-up
came from two sources-the Balti-
more Association Of Commerce and the
Davidson Transfer Il Storage Co.,
whose warehouse apparently was the
objective OF the explosion threat.
The Baltimore merchants organi-
zation sent q telegram to Attorney
General Cummings requesting exer-
else Immediately of available Fed
eral powers" to halt the strike, which
is said to affect approximately TOO
men and thousands of dollars in
goods destined for interstate truck
transportation.
No Action Has Been Taken.
The transfer company's request was
made over long distance telephone
BY Joseph Davidson, vice president
and general manager of the concern,
with headquarters in Baltimore. Otto
Rupert, manager of the local office
OF the firm, said the telephone ap-
peal for aid was made to a special
assistant to the Attorney General.
No action has been taken by the
department on the requests, it was
said by ofiicials there today. An in
vestigation could be made under the
Federal statute making it violation
to interfere with goods in interstate
shipment, trucking officials claim.
Southern district police In Balti-
more revealed two sticks Of dynamite
had been found in building adjoin-
ing the terminal of the Davidson
Transfer Co., one Of two local truck
ing concerns which have suspended
operations as a result Of the strike.
Text Of Telegram.
In telegram to the Attorney Gen.
eral, William II. Meese of the Balti-
more Association Of Commerce de-
clared:
I'VE are informed that activities of
striking truck operators and others
are interfering with interstate COM
merce between Baltimore, the District
of Columbia and Philadelphia and
other interstate points and that
forcible stopping and detention of
trucks on highways endangers persons
and property and has caused complete
cessation of interstate operations.
plus interfering with interstate busi-
ness Of Baltimore. The Baltimore
Association Of Commerce urges imme-
diate exercise of available Federal
powers to prevent interruption Of in
terstate commerce and to protect per-
sons and property. Early action may
prevent spread Of this condition and
more serious Developments"
