slowed a double benefit-upon blacks
and upon whites Lincoln had some
such plan in mind and once broached
it; but with his death it died. And so
the Negro was cut adrift; left without
anchorage or a chart by which to sail.
The thing to be marveled at is not that
he has survived and advanced, but
that he did not fulfill the direct prophe-
cieS of his detractors and go down
and under.
The only social wisdom manifested
in the situation was shown not by
statesmen, but by missionaries, men
and women from the North, who, fol-
lowing quickly behind the victorious
Union armies, went into the South and
set up schools. The direct result of
their efforts was the establishment of

LIABILITY
BILL PASSED
BY SENATE

Unexpectedly called up in the
Senate late yesterday by Senator
William H. King CD Of Utah.
chairman of the Senate District
Committee, the bill requiring
taxicab liability insurance in the
District was unanimously passed
and sent to the House, where
favorable action is expected with
in the next week.
File Bond or Quit
AS passed by the Senate the
bill would require owners and
drivers of taxicabs here to file
bonds with the public Utilities
Commission, or discontinue opera
ton.
Bonds of $500 for property in
demnity, $4,000 for injury to one
passenger, and $4,000 for injury
to two passengers are required,
and the measure specifies that
only bona fide insurance COM
panies may write the insurance
and such companies must main
tain a reserve fund of $50,OOO
with which to meet claims.
House Reserve Lower
A measure already pending
before the House, having been
approved by it's District Commit
tee, differs from the Senate bill
mainly in the fact that it would
compel the insurance companies
to maintain only a $4,000 re-
serve.
Senator King urged passage OF
the bill out of order yesterday by
the Senate because Of the many
automobile accidents in the Dis
trict recently.

WORKERS GIVEN
PROTEST RIGHT

Jail sentences and fines for
employers who dismiss workers
complaining to NRA authorities
were made possible yesterday by
President Roosevelt in an execu-
tive order.
The President ruled that any
employer who acted against dis
satisfied employees for protesting
or giving evidence Of code viola
ton would be subject to six
months imprisonment and $500
fine.
His order resulted from numer.
Gus complaints from workers in
cases before the National Labor
Board that they were penalized
for bringing to light code viola
tions. It has long been the policy
Of NRA to withhold from en-
ployers the names Of workers voic-
ing criticism.
