WAR ON TAXINETER
PLAN Of CABBIES
Chicago Drivers AgainStPro-
posed Use of Fare
indicators.

CHICAGO. oct. I9.-The proposition
10 place taximeters In public cabs 10
protect patrons is not at all 10 the Xix
ing Of the drivers. who number between
800 and 400. business Agent ". J. Glib
bons. of the Cab Drivers Union. said
he was opposed 10 the fare and distance
registers. and his organization probably
will fight the ordinance.
Although JaXimeIers are used on pub
lie cabs I'm London. Paris. Berlin, ana
other cities where their accuracy has
been demonstrated. Gibbons chief argu-
ment against the registers was that
they get out OF order easily. His
statements are not in the slightest
measure borne out by the experience of
years I'm cities where the machines are
in use.
The real concern of the drivers Is the
fear that any device 20 fix She fare de-
nnitcly and beyond dispute would cut
down their income. The experience in
European cities has been that the bust
ness of the drivers has increased with
the defining of their charges, and, as a
matter of fact, more tips are given than
before
II has been found that when odd
amounts are earned in London, such as
eight or nine pence the customers viii

ling According TO municipal statistics
the taXimeters have increased the total
income of the Paris cab trade by from
S2005 600 to S2.5oo,0o0 a year.
Another check on the common ext0r-
tiOn of the "Cabhies' was proposed by
Sergeant James Brennan, a city vehicle
inspector.
Il would raise the license to $50 a
year" he said. A good many 'hoaters'
work only on Saturdays and Sundays
and they make enough by holding up
their fares TO stay drunk the rest Of
the week
Gibbons had much 10 say about the
''hoaters." men who rent a cab for a
night and make what they can They
are not members of the union and the
business agent said he was sure they
had "a monopoly on extortionate prac-
tiCcs. The business agent would forbid
these men-uot members or the union
TO work, and would not raise the IL
cense fee.
