Capital Transit Protests.
Commissioner Hazen received from
the Capital Transit Co. yesterday a
protest against application of the pro-
posed motor vehicles weight tax to
the BUSES OF the company if the pres
ent bus mileage tax is to be continued
in force.
Hazen said the petition, which was
filed for the company by E. Barrett
Prettyman, former corporation coun-
sci, would be given consideration by
the Commissioners Tax Committee.
During the past year the transit
company paid slightly more than
$4,000 to the District under the bus
mileage tax This was in addition
to $4,000 paid in gasoline tax. Hazen
said the company's argument was
that if the weight tax is to be adopted
and applied to the buses, the COM
pany should be exempt from the pres
y1oiloopo a At
would be two taxes on the same oper-
ations, in addition to the gasoline
levy
Keneipp Denies Auto Tax Lowest.
George E. Keneipp, manager of the
Keystone Automobile Club, meanwhile
declared that official statistics do not
support contention of advocates Of
higher taxes on motor vehicles that
District motorists are taxed less than
those of any States.
Keneipp pointed out that the aver
age motor vehicle tax collections per
vehicle in Washington in 1885, the
latest year for which complete COM
parative statistics are available, were
1923 During the same period the
average paid in California was $49l.
in Georgia $3.17 and in Nebraska
1892. He obtained his figures, Ke-
neipp said, from the reports of State
motor vehicle officials to the Federal
Bureau of Public Roads.
Keneipp said he did not believe Dis
trict automobile owners would OBJ
ject to paying slightly increased taxes
If the revenues were used to provide
some OF the proposed highway i'm
provements. He mentioned specifically
the redesign of Scott and Thomas
Circles: underpasses for street cars at
Dupont Circle and an elevated high
way over K street from Twenty-sev-
enth street to Key Bridge. Any di-
version of motor vehicle taxes to the
city's general revenues will be bitterly
opposed, Keneipp said.

CHICAGO, May 8.-Dean Lloyd

Of the National Labor Relations
Board, condemned Shutdown strikes In
An address today and suggested new
experiment. in labor injunction laws.
Discussing the Wisconsin labor re-
lstaons act before the Chicago chap
hsr OF the National Lawyers Guild,
Garrison said:
Ingenious arguments have been
made - to the legality Of sit-down
strikes, but I am stupid enough not
10 be able to appreciate their validity.
! think We should 90 very slowly in
nv move to legahze them.
despite spectacular success Of sit
downs here and there, see q danger
that relatively small and sometimes
Irresponsible groups could tie up an
industry and break down union disci-
pline and authority. AS I see 1t.
these groups could easily damage the
whole union movement.
Il have had in mind an extremely
tentative suggestion that I would like
10 see attempted as an experiment
IN State law, in connection with State
labor relations board statutes. This
would be to permit labor boards to
investigate labor disputes and make
available their information to any
court in which an injunction petition
IL filed. The judge would be en-
powered 70 stay the injunction until
he learned the facts; as it is now he
frequently must rule on injunction
petitions without full information.
Garrison predicted the Wagner act
decision would bring about a funda-
mental change in the relationships
between capital and labor.

The Commissioners also are said to
be considering suggesting certain
; changes In their novel plan for taxing
business. Only an outline Of this pro-
posal has been given the House SUBJ
, committee. The details are to be put
into the form of a bill and formally
, presented Tuesday.
Information given the subcommit-
tee WAS that such = tax at the rate

produce about $6,0o0,0 based on
An estimate that there was about

In the District last year. But the
rate Of taxation on gross receipts most
likely was said to be one-haf Of /

On that basis, the estimated yield
from such . tax has been placed 1T

Although the commissioners have
SHE'D away from an income tax ever
since the inception Of the tax study,
they are said to have taken it under
