711 E CABMEN'S STRIKE.--/THIS 1).11-.)

At a meeting of the Amalgamated Hackney Car-
riage Proprietors' Association, held to-day at the offices,
the following resolution was unanimously adopted:—
" That, as the railway companies still deny the nght of
all hackney carriages to enter their stations to bring
away fares we, the non-privileged proprietors and drivers,
refuse to enter the stations to take there any fare what-
ever ; and we hereby pledge ourselves to withdraw our
cabs from the stands on Saturday morning, Sep-
tember 3, and to keep them so withdrawn every
day afterwards (subject only to a bare compliance with
the requirements of the act) until the railway companies
shall have thrown open their stations to all cabs
subject to proper regulations." An immense meeting of
drivers was held this morning at the Orange Tree,
Artillery-row, Westminster. Resolutions in favour of a
complete strike Were passed. At midnight the cab-
drivers met at Bones-yard, Earl-street, Edgware-
road, and continued deliberating until 3 o clock.
Iter,olutions in favour of a strike were plowed. ASI aggre-
gate meeting of the trade is about to be held on Primrose-
hill. An excursion train having left King's-eroas
this morning, almost all the excursionists had to carry
their luggage, or get it earned, to the terminus. The
utmost unanimity exists between the unprivileged masters
and men, and there can Le little doubt that to-morrow
Loudon will be cublees.
