delegation from the Central Labor
Union, consisting of Milford Spohn. Will
1ian Marsh, John Wolf. Frank Mace. and
II. W. Szegedy, called upon the District
Commissioners yesterday afternoon in the
interest OF the union cab drivers of the
city. II will be remembered that ever
since the establishment Of the special cab
Service Of the Pennsylvania Railroad in
this city the local jehus have been alleg-
ing official discrimination in favor of the
corporation cabmen.
Mr.. Spohn acted as spokesman Of the
party and stated that the delegation had
been authorized by the Central Labor
Union TO appear in behalf of the cab
men and endeavor to bring about an ami
sable agreement OF some kind. He said
The cabmen believed discrimination had
been made against them by the Commits
sioners in three ways. First. the railroad
cabmen were permitted TO charge IS cents
Tor each trunk hauled on their vehicles
while other cabmen were compelled to
carry them free of charge; second, the
railroad company had been permitted TO
erect a box-ofiice on the sidewalk in
front Of the depot against the regulations,
and third, the drivers of the railway cabs
we're permitted TO solicit patronage on the
Sidewalk in front OF the station. while
other cabnen were deprived of that ad-
vantage. In conclusion, Mr.. Spohn asked

that the cabmen of the railway company
and the independent local jehus be placed
on the same basis and granted equal rights.
Commissioner Wight replied that by a
regulation passed by the Commissioners
October 20 last. all local cabmen were per-
mitted 10 make a charge of % cents for
trunks hauled, and that public cabmen
might avail themselves of the regulation
as well as the railway drivers AS far as
the solicitation of trade in front of the
station was concerned Commissioner
Wight informed the delegation that Meth
er the men Of the railway company nor the
drivers of public vehicles were permitted
to seek patronage in that manner, and that
if any such thing was being done it was
contrary to police regulations.
In conclusion Mr.. Wight explained. with
reference TO the cabbox erected by the
railway company for the use Of its cab
service. that the Commissioners had grant
ed permit for the erection of the struc-
ture under authority granted them by an
act OF Congress which allows them to per-

MORE WORK FOR MR.. MURPHY

Col Theodore A. Bingham, Superintend-

Gently asked the District Commissioners If
II were possible for the contractor of the
Tiber Greek sewer to begin the restoration
of that portion Of Lincoln Park crossed by
the sewer. Upon receipt of the communi
cation Mr.. Murphy, the contractor, was
notified to restore the surface of the park
to its original condition.
The contractor began the work under
the direction OF the park authorities, but
after few days concluded that he was
being put to an unnecessary expense, not
fully covered by the terms OF his contract.
He notified the Sewer Department that he
would do nothing further until the matter
had been fully settled. The sewer has now
been completed six months and the Sewer
Department officials think the time has
arrived for some action on the part of the
contractor in regard to the restoration OF
the surface along the line of the sewer
across the park. By order OF the Commits
soners the contractor has been notified to
that effect.
