the same sort of thing to them as leaping down

Rider show two or three years ago. rushing out
on the arena by classes and capturing the Dead
wood stage coach. while the cowboys
rushed" TO their dressing rooms. It was mere
love for something exciting that sent most of
the undergraduates down 10 State and Chapel
SITS TO help out the local business firms whose
truckmen had struck. But the striking truck
men did not see il that way. The result was a

CAB DRIVERS IRE DISMISSED

eiIher FORCED TO join the hackmen's association
On the spot or be discharged by the liveryman
VINO employed him. Dozens of these incidents
nave ma peen witnessed in all parts of the city.
Inc result has beer that relatives of the de-
ceased have besought the undertakers to be
sure that no non-union men have hacks-a cul-
mination of the hackmens labors that has
greatly pleased them.
Following the hackEnen's strike came that OF
the horseshoers and truckmen, and both Of these
strikes have made great trouble for the business
men of the city. The hackmen have attempted
a form of boycott Of the business men who have
even boarded their horses at non-union stables.
A laughable incident occurred the result of
this one prominent BUSINESS who en-
ploys union help was requested to take his
horses from stable which had refused to rec
oguiZe the hacklnen's union. He had kept them
at this stable for years and did not want TO
change, but his own business relations made 1t
wise for him TO accept the suggestion. The
transfer began all right until the horses became
aware that they were being driven into g stable
where they did not belong. That broke up the
boycott. The horses refused to enter the strange
stable under any conditions, and finally had to
be taken back where they came from

When the Columbia shell arrived preliminary
TO the Yale-C Columbia freshman race on Lake
Whitney a week ago there occurred the only
trouble resulting from the Yale men driving
trucks. The Columbia shell carried out
through the station by non-uaion men, and the
union truckmen outside refused to carry il up
through the town. There was some parley, the
strikers refusing carry the smell at the END or

10 greet the NeW-fork college men Ited the
boat into a truck and carted il up MeddoW-st

alongside There was some trouble in getting
under way. the union strikers throwing stones
al the college men. but the police stopped TINS
and the students carried the shell in triumph 10
the lake.
In the first excitement among the undergrad
yates over the sport several Wen known
students went down for orders from Peek d
Bishop. Their names were kept on slips OF paper
in the Office with the Italians who had Volun-
teered, and each man had his record OF WORK
and pay received opposite his name. Among
them was W. j Mcmahon. a freshman IN the
