Fingerprints Snag
Drivers Denial of
Previous Arrests
Man Fined $25 as
Judges Suspicious of
Story PrOve Correct.

Apprehended through the finger
printing system recently installed in
Police Court, Walter Tate, colored,
who has appeared under two aliases
in his seven brushes with the law,
was fined $25 by Judge Edward M.
Curran yesterday for driving without
q permit.
Arraigned in Police Court under
the name of Edgar Dugan, the de-
fendant said he had never been ar
rested before. Judge Curran believed
otherwise, however. and ordered the
mans fingerprints taken.
The hunch proved correct, with
the return of the Justice Depart
ment's report. It was shown Tate
had been arrested seven times before,
and a month previous had been re-
leased on personal bond by Judge
Curran. The fingerprint system was
tnaugurated to prevent defendants
from appearing under an assumed
name to escape the heavier penalties
Imposed on frequent Offenders.

TOWNSEND ACTION
SPEED IS URGED
House Leaders Fear Pension
Advocates Will Capitalize
on Delay.
BY JOHN C. HENRY.

Anticipating that Townsend pension
leaders will attempt to capitalize on
any delay in the contempt actions now
pending, House leaders today were
hopeful that United States Attorney
Leslie C. Garnett will be able to in
itiate speedy action before the grand
jury.
The House. through Speaker Byrns,
yesterday certified to Garnett's Office
all the information in the cases
against DR.. Francis E. Townsend, Rev.
Clinton L. Wunder and John B.
Kiefer. Garnett announced later that
the cases will be brought before the
grand jury next week by Assistant
United States Attorney Charles B.
Murray.
During the comparative quiet OF
yesterday, Representative Young, DEM
ocrat, of Ohio attacked the Townsend
ties and their leaders on the House
floor He called DR.. Townsend "a
charlatan, a faker, racketeer and a
fraud"
"Conscienceless agitators and dema-
gogic politicians may thrive momen-
tarily by espousing this phantasma-
goric plan claiming to give 5000 per
month. to every elderly person" he
claimed, but their ascendancy will be
brief and their downfall sudden and
certain"
The investigating committee was
planning to resume on Monday with
Charles M Hawks, Massachusetts,
organizer of the Townsend forces, on
the stand. Hawks resigned last Sat-
urday after being served with sub
poena to testify.
Sheridan Downey. attorney for
Townsend, who informed the commit
tee last week that he would not honor
their subpoena, left today for Chicago
and California. He is opening a CAM
paign for election to Congress from

ARLINGTON N-ALExANDRIA
RULES START MONDAY
Highland Farms Petition Hits
Former Hearing as Being
Arbitrary"
Ry the Associated Press.

61 llC ASoONldtCu EICoos
RICHMOND, Va. May 30-Fed-
eral District Judge Robert N. Pollard
yesterday denied the petition Of the
Highland Farms Dairy, Inc, and
Luther w. High of Washington for
a temporary injunction to restrain
the Virginia Milk Commission from
applying its regulations in the Arling-
ton-Alexandria market.
The regulations for that market are
scheduled to go into effect Monday.
Judge Pollard said he would not
issue an injunction against the COM
mission if its regulations affected
only intraState commerce. Assistant
Attorney General Edwin H. Gibson
assured the court in his argument
that the regulations would not affect
interstate commerce.
Hearing Called Arbitrary.
The bill of complaint alleged that
High purchases the output of the
Highland Farms Dairy in Washing
ton, but is prohibited from selling
milk on the Virginia market below
the minimum price set by the State
commission and that a hearing by
the agency was "insuficiently and
arbitrarily conducted"
The bill sought a restraining order
pending hearing and determination Of
the application for the injunction.
Service was made on Gov. Peery, At
Gnnnrol SfaT1IaS I
Agnew, chairman of the State Milk
Commission. and Kone Brugh and T.
S. Snaveley, his associates
The petition charged that no in
vestigation was made.
Constitutionality Is Attacked.
The constitutionality of the act was
attacked on nine different points
charging the depriving of the plaintiff
of property without due process OF
law, denying equal protection under
the law and undue restraint of inter
state commerce as involved in the
delivery and sale of washington and
Maryland milk in Virginia.
The petitioners asked that the Milk
Commission be prohibited from en-
forcing regulations in the Arlington
Alexandria market, promulgating rules
for that area or fixing minimum prices
and that the act be declared uncon-
stitutional under article /. section s.
of the fourteenth amendment to the
United States Constitution.
The bill of complaint was signed by
C. Y. Stephens on the part Of the
dairy corporation and by High.
Twenty days are allowed for an
swering the bill Of complaint.

STRIKE BREAKER
PLAN IS OPPOSED
Consumers Council Head
Says Lives at Stake in
Vehicle Repairs.

With the automobile mechanics
strike now spread to II shops. Mrs.
John Boyle. jr., chairman of the Con-
sumers' Council, issued a statement
last night in which she expressed
fear" for the safety and property Of
automobile owners and warned against
importation OF strike breakers.
Mrs. Boyle said a special committee
of the Consumers Council met yeSter-
day and obtained information from
David Kaplan of the international
Association of Machinists concerning
the strike situation, which will be
studied by the committee.
r. j. Murphy, manager of the Wash
ington Automotive Trade Association,
in answer to an invitation to appear
before the committee. wrote Mrs. Boyle
that 1t was impossible to have repre-
sentative at the meeting yesterday, as
the matter would have to be taken up
with the associations board.
Sees Peril in Course.
Explaining that the council has
given serious consideration to the strlk-
ers. effect on automobile owners, Mrs.
Boyle said:
In most strikes, 1t has been the
policy of the employer to hire strike
breakers. The council at this time
desires to warn against such a pro-
cedure for two reasons-safety to the
public and protection to the consumer,
who is the automobile owner.
Agencies which furnish strike
breakers usually employ disreputable
characters without investigation. Such
agencies, as shown from the records
of the recent building service strikes
in New York. profit at the expense OF
the public. This must not occur In
this situation.
Life Held at Stake.
THE life and property OF the
automobile owner Is dependent upon
the reliability and competency OF
the mechanic who makes repairs and
adjustments.
The meeting Of the Consumers
Council, which had been set for
Tuesday, has been postponed un-
til Friday, Mrs. Boyle said, to re-
ceive a more complete report from
its committee on the strike situation.
The latest shops involved in the
strike are the Sullivan Motor Co..
Fifth and New York avenue, and all
branches of the Cherner Motor Co.

Explains Working.

Succinctly, the plan, Mrs. Greenway
pointed out, would work in about the
following manner:
An employer would agree to hire
one or more additional men or women
who are unemployed and pay them In
certificates of 81 denomination in
stead of in currency. The certificates
would be issued under strict regula-
tions of the Commissioners or their
agent without cost to the employer.
If the employe spent the certificates
before the date on which the weekly
2-cent stamp falls due, he would get
full value for them. Each week that
he held them, however, he would have
to add 2-cent stamp and thus deduct
his earnings by per cent.
The employer who paid his workers
in certificates would, of course, have
to accept them in payment for the
products he sells.
Mrs. Greenway said strict policing
