Urges Cash Bond
AS Protection in
Cab Accidents

A plan providing for a cash bond
of $4,000 to be filed with the
Public Utilities Commission instead
of requiring liability insurance for
each cab owner was advocated by
Harry c. Davis, manager Of the
Diamond Cab Company, at q spe.
ciaI hearing before a House Dis
trict subcommittee yesterday.
Speaking against a proposed bill
that would require a minimum liza
bility policy. Davis said that pro-
hibitive insurance premiums made
his plan more feasible in as much
as claims could be filed against
the fund in case Of any disability.
In the event judgments were
rendered above the amount of the
policy carried by individual cab
drivers, the company would still
have to provide an additional fund
to satisfy the judgment, Davis
added.
Further hearings on the measure
will be continued Thursday morn
ing at $3.50 O'Clock.

The tumult and the shouting

street car and bus rate hearings
After two weeks and a day of
impassioned pleas on the part Of
citizens for either lower fares or
a. status quo, matched by the cold

Capital Transit Company for an
increase in token fare to four
tokens for IS cents, the entire pro-
ceedings became a matter Of rec.
ord.
On one extreme during the
hearings was the transit company,
whose representatives pointed out
that the company needed more
revenue, more money, if it was to
buy new equipment.
On the other were representa-

CAPITAL FACES
PRICE INCREASE

While support came today from
the Washington League Of Women
Shoppers for the 400 workers,
whose walkout last week closed 13
wholesale dry cleaning establish
ments, the employers decided the
price Of dry cleaning in Washing
ton must go up If the demands OF
the strikers are to be met.
The owners and operators Of Is
cleaning establishments met in the
Mayflower Hotel with Samuel
Rubenstein as chairman. The
operators decided the price raise
was inevitable if the strikers de-
mands are to be met and promised
a public statement soon.
Meanwhile the League Of
Women Shoppers made known its
sentiments at a union meeting in
the Murray Casino. Speaking for
the league, Mrs. Edward Hollander
said an investigation including in
tervieWs of both workers and en-
ployerS by the league had been
made. She said: .-....
eve are shocked at the low
rate of pay, the long hours and
the uHASanitary conditions in
most shops. Employers tell us
cut-thrOat competition makes it
impossible to raise wages. Then,
employers should raise prices"
The league, he said, found
wages for unskilled workers range
from SO to $12 weekly, but a sys-
tenn of fines and "kickbackS" fur
ther reduces wages. Because Of the
seasonal nature of the industry,
many employees are laid off from
Thanksgiving until April, she said.
