Second Taxicab Group
Enters Drive 10 Limit
Licenses in District

The movement of taxicab drivers
to restrict the number of cab
licenses in the District grew today
as a second organization joined the
fight.
Alarmed over a prospective rush
for hacker licenses, since the Office
of Defense Transportation has lifted
a wartime freeze" the United Tax
icab Drivers, Inc, a group of inde-
pendent drivers, began backing q
movement to limit cabs by con-
gressional action.
Nearly 100 members of the UTD,
inactive since its organization in
1912, met last night to hear John R.
Peters, legislative representative,
stress the necessity of legislation to
enable the Public Utilities Commis-
sion to regulate cab licensing.
Union Held Unnecessary.
Andrew N. Richardson, president
of UTD, said the first step would
be a membership drive to build
strength for concerted effort. The
drivers considered themselves small
businessmen" and therefore saw no
advantage in joining an interna-
tional labor union, he said
Some of the drivers favored an
amalgamation with the Associated
Taxicab Operators, a new union
which initiated the taxicab control,
and whether this will be accom-
plished depends on a vote of the
members, Mr.. Richardson said.
E. Erwin Dollar. secretary of the
ALTO, said his organization differed
with the small businessman" the
ory and was going all-out for the
union.
First Group Joins AFL.
1--WE sent $1,000 to the American
Federation of Labor Tuesday and
expect to get our charter next week."
he said. I'VE now have TOO men,
bers and are growing every day."
Mr.. Dollar said the union would
have the backing of every AF'L local
in the District and sounded warn
ing that the drivers aren't going
to operate long unless Congress is
quick to give the PUG power to
limit the number of licenses it
issues"
Mr.. Dollar said some $500 cabs
now are in operation and that $500
drivers are licensed to operate as
soon as they can obtain vehicles.
The drivers are concerned about the
number of part-time cabbies who
now want to 60 into business whole
heartedly, he said
An overcrowding of the field will
so tear down wages that the District
may return to the days when some
cabbies were forced to engage in
unlawful pursuits in order to make
q living" he said.
The ALTO has called a mass meet
Ing for pm. Sunday at 219 Second
street NV. at which a number of
legislators and labor leaders will
outline a course of action.

roneous idea circulates that work
stoppages may do no great harms
Actually, Patterson pointed out,
Army requirements for 1916 are 20
percent higher than the record pro-
duction Of 1914. This, the War De
partment has admitted, will place a
heavy load on labor and industry
throughout the year. Especially urg-
ent needs are for more tanks, guns,
ammunition, tires, trucks, aircraft
and cotton duck.
"In war only one thing matters, .
ne continued, "and that is keeping
up the flow or production to the
fighting fronts and delivering the
goods on time. The finest tank in
the world is Of no use delivered to
a dead soldier the day after battle"
In conclusion, Patterson stated,
"We're fighting hard, bitter and
costly war. 1t will be soon, but it is
not won yet. The winning Of it is the
first and foremost job for everyone
in this nation. Our men fight with all
they have 1t is unthinkable that we
give them less than all we can.

FLORIDA DAILY BACKS
ANTI-PEONAGE FIGHT

Miami 0LNS).-The Miami Daily
News has championed the rights of
Negro workers, some of them AFL
longshoremen, who it is alleged, have
been the victims of mass arrests and
have been fined without trials at the
hands of Sheriff Walter Clark at
nearby Fort Lauderdale.
Gliding a federal grand jury which
recently failed to indict anyone for
the mass arrests which the Workers
Defense League exposed, the News
editorially suggested that a new
grand jury hear the cases:
at is too bad that the federal
grand jury was unable or unwilling
to administer permanent check to
the application of the opposite policy
in Fort Lauderdale. The cases should
not be allowed to rest. 1t will not
do to condone injustice"
The paper, owned by former Ohio
Governor James NJ. Cox, declared that
failure to indict was dangerous lax
ity," and pointed out "the fact that
only Negroes were caught up in the
vagrancy dragnet, that these Negroes
were denied their day in court, and
that the provably innocent were pun
ished with the guilty And that just
isn't justice under the American Con-
stitution and the laws of Florida"

ACLU OFFERS TO TEST
EXCLUSION OF LOYAL
JAPANESE AMERICANS

New York City (ILNS).-Loyal
Japanese Americans who have been
excluded from the West Coast by
Army orders have been offered a
free court test of their exclusion by
the American Civil Liberties Union.
The ACLU said it had become pain
fully evident that the military auth
critics on the west coast have issued
individual exclusion orders against a
great many American citizens of
Japanese ancestry who are by no
reasonable test disloyal, and who
were cleared by the War Relocation
Authority after FBI investigation"
The union specified that it would
defend only japanese Americans who
have not applied for expatriation or
repatriation and who indicated their
loyalty on the QUESTIONABLE filled out
by all the evacuees.
The ACLU said that several cases
challenging the individual exclusion
orders are pending in the Southern
California federal courts, "but these
few cases are not enough to establish
a rule applicable to a wide variety of
persons" 1t was noted that some
japanese Americans resident in other
parts of the United States have
been ordered excluded from the west
coast although they never lived there.

An active field of medical research
at the present time is the study of
cancer, which took a toll of approx
mately 10000 lives in the United
States in 1912, the year for which
complete figures are available. Dis
covery that one of the new B vita
minis may have anti-cancer activity is
now reported by four researchers of
Mount Sinai Hospital. The discovery
was made in studies with mice that
ideal laboratory animal which can act
as a model for human trials. The
vitamin used has been called folic
acid though it is still largely un-
known substance. 1t has not as yet
been applied to cancer in humans but
the group hopes, of course, that the
discovery will turn out to be sug-
gestive in the study of human cancer.
Tiny doses of the substances were
injected daily for four to six weeks
into the veins of 80 mice that had
spontaneous breast cancers. The can

are still living. In the 60 cancerous
mice that did not get the vitamin no
tumor disappeared. Among these IA
developed new tumors and only 20
are living. Only one new tumor was
observed among the mice.
The difficulties in applying this
test to human beings are that only
minute quantities of this substance
are now available and since its struc-
ture is not yet known it cannot be
manufactured synthetically. Natural
sources yield something like one part
of vitamin from 100000 parts of
source material. But one has only to
remember the discouragingly minute
quantities of radium Madam Curie
was able to extract from overwhelm-
ing amounts of source material to
know that this difficulty in time will
be overcome, if the substance will
cure human cancer. At any rate, it is
interesting to note that these same
researchers during the past seven
years have found anti-cancer activity
in a number Of extracts from spleen,
yeast and barley.

Reduction In The Use OF Sweets
A Vital Necessity

Even in these days of sugar ration

as serious food and health problem.
AS is now commonly known, though
not sufficiently practiced, sweets do

diet. They are purified extracts high
in calories but possessing few other
virtues. Filling up on sweets leaves
little appetite or room for other vital

Latest Alabama group to speak out
for state action is the Birmingham

its current bulletin:

Why Not Repeal in 1915?
'Many Alabama teachers are not
voters because they have not had the
spare money for their poll tax (.
since the removal of the tax will come
in Alabama sooner or later, why
should it not be in 1915? Big move
