MAY RESUME STRIKE
UNION NOT RECOGNIZED
Gift of $50 900 for Loyal Ph'tddef-
phia Traction Men.
gBy Telegraph to The Tribune. J

PHILADELPHIA June 1T is freely predicted here
tonight that the street railway strike Will De re-
newed as the result of action denying recognition
Of the union taken by the directors OF the Fhlia-
dephia Rapid Transit Company at their regular
monthly meeting to-day.
When the men returned work Saturday they
believed they had won all the points for which theS
had struck except an increase of pay to p cents
an hour and they were especially jubilant over
what they considered a recognition of the uhioh'
the peace agreement having been signed b! ten
members of their organization.
The traction directors. however, in q long state
roent reviewing the strike declared to-day that
there had been 'misstatements' regarding the
settlement The company denies that il has recog-
nised the union that union officials signed the
agreement the way they put it. The dl-
rectors declared that they had the men pract-
cally defeated when "outside influences suggested
arbitration.
Another thing that did bring joy to the
hearts of the former strikers the announce
ment by the Rapid Transit directors that they
would divide $4,000 among the men who remained
at work for extra services during the strike"
The directors also accepted the resignation OF
Vice. President George d. Widener. son of P A b.
Widener, the traction man, and elected to his place
Clarence Wolf the banker and political ally Of the
Republican bosses of the city, who has been one OF
the citvs directors on the Rapid Transit Board.
This change leaves the city with only two repre-
sentatives the board. Mayor Reyburn and VIII
lam II. Carpenter. 1t is expected mat colhcilS
will name A new representative to succeed Wolf
without delay.
In financial circles there has been theory FOR
some time that the big Widener holdings have
been gradually released and that the family so
long identified with the street railway development
of the city is quietly severng its connection with
the system. In addition TO the board changes the
directors announced the refusal TO cooperate with
the committee Of fifteen in the proposed expert
examination into street railway conditions for the
benefit of the public

MAYOR TO VETO TAxIcAB ORDINANCE.
Hears Objections from Chief Of License Bu-
reau Among Others.

Mayor Mcclellan has decided TO veto the Ja1icab
ordinance passed two weeks ago by the aldermen
He gave a hearing on II Yesterday, and heard OBJ
jections from William J. Moran representing the
taxicab interests and F. Y. s. Oliver. chief Of the
license bureau in the Mayors Office.
Mr. Moran said that the license fee exacted by
the proposed ordinance, s25 machine. amounted
to tax as It was entirely OF proportion the
cost of making inspection OF the machine. He
said the aldermen had no right TO impose such
tax and suggested that the license fee be reduced
10 cost of inspection. He objected to the clause
giving the inspectors power TO examine the meters,
asserting that all the public cared for a ride
at an honest rate. He said that the proposed
dinance would make necessary the employment of
a considerable number of inspectors, whose main
tenance must be borne by his clients.
Chief Oliver Of the license bureau objected to
the ordinance because 1t did not contain schedule
Of rates. He drew the ordinance himself, but the
elimination the schedule rates nullihed all the
remedial features aimed at, he said.
The Mayor said at the close of the hearing that
he probably would veto the ordinance to-day and
return IT to the aldermen
