21111 CABIKEAVS STRIKE.

A mass meeting of drivers was held last night in what is
known as the " Waterloo Tap," a place arranged for the
cab-drivers frequenting the South Western Terminus,
with reference to the present strike.
Mr. 81'11.8E8 took the chair, and asked were all present
well contented to abide by what had been done. (Cries
of " Yes.") Let them not believe in failure. It was not
-the character of an Englishman to give up if he got a
" drop down" blow in the first round. (Cheers.) By the
pluck that was inherent in Englishmen which put down the
corn-laws they would accomplish what they wanted, and
that was " free trade and no monopoly." (Cheers.)
Mt. Case (representative of the Cab Proprietors' Asso-
ciation) said it had been suggested to him that he
should move a resolution. He would do no such thine.
He asked them were they resolved ? (Cries of "We
are.") Were they resolved to strike against
, the railway
cab monopoly (Cheers, and cries of • Yes, yes.")
Some cowardly sycophants for filthy lucre had gone
against the great body of the trade, but they had forfeited
all confidence in them. (Cheers.) He did not believe
there would be a non-privileged man who upon Saturday
would take out his cab. (Loud cheers.) He had more
confidence in the men than he bad in the masters. The
treatment they received at railway stations was most
gross. He spoke of having gone to the Great Northern
Railway to try the legal ease of taking a privileged cab
off the platform Maud, and he stated that he received the
most shameful treatment, pails of water having been
thrown over him, and that eventually he was thrown out
of the osb--the cab of a privileged proprietor. (hisses.)
This (holding up his coat, which was split from tail to
collar) was the way in which the pnvileged cabmen
treated him. (Cries of " Shame.") If the men were only
true to themselves the victory would be theirs. Let the
men ray to their fellows, "Give up the whip, we cannot
do it." (Loud chapels.)
Mr. "%Veinier said he had been for many years a driver
at several railway companiee' dation& but ho found there
was a wear and tear of the cabs which counterbalaseed
any profit arising from the privilege.
Several other masters and drivers addressed the meet-
ing, and it s resolved that on Saturday nest al the
unprivileged cabs should be taken of the street' of
London.
