Officials Point Out

Applications for preference ratings

rooming, boarding or apartment
houses have been denied because of
noncompliance with fire safety reg

eral Housing Administration dis
closed today.
This disclosure followed the report
yesterday that priority applications

faulty, and were returned to the
applicants for corrections. The re-

Taxi Drivers Warned
Of 0vercharges for
Group Riding
Face Suspension, PUG
Head Says in Reporting
Mounting Protests

Taxi drivers were warned today
by James H. Flanagan, chairman of
the Public Utilities Commission, they
face suspension of their hackers
licenses if they charge full fare for
each passenger on group riding
trips.
Granting that the presently sched-
uled fares are difficult to determine
exactly. in some cases involving
more than one party in a cab, Mr.
Flanagan said this was no excuse
for the practice of deliberately
overcharging
Complaints Increase.
Reporting that the PUG is re-
ceiving an increasing number Of
complaints from group-riding pas
sengers, he said cases are referred
to the Board of Revocation and
Review for action whenever suff-
cient evidence is available and that
the board recently suspended the
licenses of number of drivers.
complaints in many instances
state that drivers inform the pas
sengers they are acting under in
structions when they charge such
fulD fares" Mr.. Flanagan said.
This practice is unlawful, and
drivers who are guilty of charging
each passenger in a group the full
fare for the trip are subject to sus-
pension.
Unfortunately" he continued,
many persons have submitted to
being overcharged and have not
taken the trouble to note the num-
Der of the cab or the drivers license
and to report violation of the Com
missions regulations.
Share Costs Equally.
Under the present 30-50-70-90-
cent zone fare system, the Commits
sion rule is that whenever two or
more passengers pay for the trip
the total applicable rate for such
trip shall be divided equally among
"AA PoooSAi6SAo. At dASO P1oNlOCS Glldl
no passenger shall be required to
pay more than the prevailing rate
for his own ride, or more than the
difference between the prevailing
zone rate for the entire trip and the
amounts the driver already has col
lected for the trip.
Because of the difficulties of figur-
ing the apportionment of costs for
group riding under this rule, the
complaints of overcharging and de-
mands for promoting group riding
the PUG has scheduled a public
hearing for May 3, at 10 am.
Earlier this year, the PUG pro-
posed a system of group riding fares
but spokesmen for the OPA said it
would constitute a general increase
in fares and the PUG found another
hearing necessary.

West Coast Air Raids
Feared by Bender
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Representative Bender, Republi-
can, of Ohio suggests new emphasis
on civilian defense with a view to
assuring preparedness for sudden
air attacks.
Saying that interest is tagging,
Mr.. Bender declared, This is just
the moment when care and watch
fulness are most necessary"
This is the danger hour, for
which the enemy waits" he added
in a statement. Right now our
Government Offices reveal that large
airfields not believed possible earlier
are being built on the islands of
the Aleutians chain seized by the
Japanese.
From these fields, once the
weather becomes clear, air raids
may be launched along the Western
Coast. All Of us hope these raids
never come. But it would be fool
hardy to disregard their possibility
or to rely upon reconnaissance and

Laboi Draft Proposal
Assai|ed by Official
OF Railroad Unions
House Committee Is Told
Move Will Not Increase
Nations Monpower
BY JAMES CHINN.

Compulsory draft of men and
women for work in war industries
as provided in the Austin Wads-
worth bill was opposed vigorously
today before the House Military
Affairs Committee by Martin H.
Miller, national legislative repre-
sentative of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen.
The committee was told that labor
opposes the legislation because it
will make no contribution to the
maximum use of the Nations man.
power and carries with it grave
dangers" of interference with that
program.
Mr.. Miller declared that the peo-
pie in this country don't have to
be Threatened" to do their duty,
but only need proper direction as
to what to do.
Compulsion Assailed.
1--WE join with all other Americans
in wanting to win the war" he
said. The most important ques-
ton is: How? Will we win it more
quickly if we impose on every Amer
lean man and woman compulsory
servitude, or will we win it faster
if we have the voluntary efforts
of every one in the good old-fash-
ioned American way of free labor?"
Mr.. Miller expressed the opinion
that drafting of labor might serve
as the opening wedge" to destroy
collective bargaining, seniority
rights and the social gains of the
Roosevelt administration.
Mr.. Miller testified that heads"
of the War Department want con-
scription of labor and at the same
time are training industrialists ito
be ready" Ready for what?" he
asked.
Quotes From Lecture.
Then he quoted from a lecture
said to have been given during a
War Department ''or;Gntation"
course. The quotation he read fol-
lows: The Army may be forced, by
public opinion, to take over the di-
rection of many activities now con-
sidered to be beyond the province
of the military"
Chairman May asked who made
such statement. Mr.. Miller said he
did not know but would find out
Mr.. May replied he would like to
have the officer testify before the
committee.
Faulty directions are causing
manpower problems in many parts
of the country, Mr.. Miller said. He
cited the case of plant in Flint.

UNION DONATES
MOVIES FOR
WAR EFFORT

Hollywood. - Movie-goers all over
the country will have an opportunity
to witness one of labors' many con-
tributions to the war effort-a more
intelligent defense of the home front.
Hollywood cartoonists, members of
Screen Cartoonists Guild Local 852,
AFL, have just turned over to the
Office of War Information a 6-minute
animated cartoon on Point Rationing
of Food" The film was directed, ami
mated, and photographed by union
members on their own time and is now
being shown in movie houses, with a
credit line to Local 852
Cartoonists volunteered to make
the film when they learned that the
OPA had no funds to make a graphic
explanation of point rationing. So
successful is the film that six stills
were reproduced in the Sunday Maga-
zine section of the New York Times
Of Feb. 28
The film, 16 nm. sound, can be
obtained from regular distributors of
Office of War Information films and
from regional offices of the Office of

drawn upon for agricultural and hos
pital work"
The union cited the alleged dissatis-
faction of many conscientious objec-
tors in these camps with the unpro-
ductive character of what is in effect
CCC work." and the reported desire
of large number to be released from
the camps to engage in more active
forms of service consistent with their
conscientious convictions"

RAIL PAY AVERAGE
Low, UNIONS SAY

Chicago (ILNS).-Wage increases
were strongly urged by railroad
unions as Presidential fact-fnding
panel opened hearings on the workers
higher pay movement.
Representative of the Is unions of
incorporating workers submitted sta
tistics to show that more than 100000
workers should get wage increases of
20 cents an hour, with minimum of
70 cents an hour.
The major part of the data pre-
sented to 3-man panel headed by
|. l.. Sharfman was designed to show
that the 73 classes of workers who are
party to the demand receive less
pay on the average than workers in
other industries.
The railroad representatives argued
that statistics did not tell the real
story because many of the workers,
such as track men, worked only part
of the time and that lowered the wage
averages.
Soon after the panel began its in
vestigation, the five chief operating
brotherhoods announced that they had
requested an emergency board of the
National Railway Panel to begin hear
ing their wage demands in Chicago
April l. The request was made by
Alvaney Johnson, representing the
Engineers Brotherhood; D. B. Robert

PAGE EDDIE"
RICKENBACKER

Washington, D. efforts of Capt.
Eddie" Rickenbacker and others to
drive wedge between men in the
trenches and those in factories were
rebuked by Major General Dawson
Olmstead, chief of the army's Signal
Corps.
General Olmstead insisted that
"men who toll on the production line
are doing more to help win the war
than the soldiers in uniform" He
added:
"It is not nations; it is not ammuni-
tion in itself; it is not generals that
are going to win this war. 1t is the
men and women of the country as
whole who are working and producing
everything"
Because the workers are so vital to
the war effort, General Olmstead in
sisted, it should be prime aim of the
Signal Corps procurement officers to
preserve the very best relations with
the men and women who are working
in the factories"
In fairness, it should be stated that
generally officers of both the army
and navy have not participated in the
vicious campaign against workers, di-
rected by selfish interests. On the con-
trary, ranking officers in charge of
combat troops as well as those con-
cerned with keeping the army sup
piled have testified to the grand job"
the nations workers have done.
