known that the strike OF the chauffeurs OF the
New York Taxicab Company was planned py 'he
Chauffeurs and Hack Drivers Association Or
rather the Liberty Dawn aggregation IN IT, as
a sort Of feeler to see Just how strong ths
union was At the meeting of the Liberty Dawn
Association October %, when big sums TOT
the relief of the striking chauffeurs were voted
IL became known that the receipts from these
assessments were even then more than 5000
week in excess Of the relief moneys paid out.
This S.ul-and there was already about SlS'UoO
IN the rreasury-it was reported was to be put
into big strike fund, and as soon as that sum
was sufficiently, large the teansters would IN
sist on their demands for a closed shop Before
this It was reported that the Hbery stable own
ers had determined to fight the demands OF the
union, and each member had been bonded IN a
large amount 20 prevent any possibility OF de-
sertion from the stand Of the organization
The police are particularly unhappy over the
possibility Of a general strike. Many Of them
lost their vacations because Of the continuous
duty that they had to perform during the chauf-
feurs strike. Many Of them, too, arc still smart
ing under the criticism which was directed at
them because OF the numerous acts OF violence
which marked the other strike. With general
strike coming on at the holiday season, and with
prospect Of long hours Of duty in inclement
weather they are all in mood which promises
the quick suppression Of all attempted violence,
If the strike should spread.
In his Saturday talk to the inspectors Of the
Police Department Commissioner Bingham
made reference to the strike, and said emphati-
cally that there must be no more scenes such
as accompanied the strike OF the taxicab chauf-
feurs. The Commissioner told the inspectors
that IL the strikers were permitted to get under
way with their acts of violence the whole po-
lice force would soon he tied up, reserves would
have to be kept constantly hand, and the
men would not only lose their days off, but
those on vacation would be called in.
He directed his remarks particularly TO In
spector Walsh, in charge of the middle West
Side, and Inspector Dillon, in charge of the
East Side.
A meeting ot Inc local branch Of the state
bureau Of mediation and arbitration was held
IN the forenoon at No. ia East 2Sth street NJ
J. Reagan, industrial arbitrator, had been In
touch before the strike with the officers of the
union and had been led to believe that until
an attempt was made to arbitrate no strike
would be ordered. After the meeting he sent
letter to President Lexow Of the Livery Stable
Keepers Association and Secretary Treasurer
Gould Of the Liberty Dawn Association recon-
nending that the subject in dispute be again
taken up for adjustment by the representatives,
of the two associations directly concerned, and
in the event of failure to agree the questions
or matters still in dispute be referred to some
form Of arbitration. preferably local and expert
in character.

Alderman Brown Believes Ordinance I
Needed-Declares Charges Excessive.

Alderman B. ". B. Brown, the leader of the
Republican minority in the Board OF Aldermen
said Yesterday that he framing ordi-
nance designed TO regulate more fully the rates
Of fare Of the taxicab companies. Mr.. Brown has
discovered that one Of the cab companies is making
at least 100 per cent dividends, and he believes
that the company is exaCting excessive fares.
4 know OF a case said he, in which man
rode from SD street on Broadway to 44th street.
and the taximeter showed charge of s. so Ac-
cording to the published rate Of one company the
charge should have been 70 cents and according to
30 cents.
Here is another case: A ride in cab from Tooth
street and Broadway to the Waldorf cost s. 50, Se-
cording 10 the taximeter, but the ride back in an
other cab Of the same company cost s. 20. All Of
which convinced the patron that there some
thing seriously wrong with the taXimeter, that
Il was manipulated in some mysterious way"

Now Herrick Is the approved man for the job.
Tba selaction OF Knox as Secretary OF State Is Of

most OF the men in the Cabinet who have
figured as great Roosevelt supporters. Will lose out
in the final framing Of the personnel OF the Taft

more than the advice Of any other man. This Is
taken to mean that the chances OF Pinchot being
