Statement From Strikers.

An interview was given out last night
by a committee on behalf of the striking
chauffeurs, giving their side Of the diff
ferences with the Terminal Taxicab Com
pany. which is, in part, as follows:
The true reason for the reduction of
the chauffeur's wages" it is stated, sis
the many high salaries paid to officials
attached to the company'S staff. The
company has many of these big salaries
on its pay roll, and in order to curtail
expenses have cut into US rather than
the other men.
THE company states, we understa nd -
say the chauffeurs, that under the new
rate of pay the chauffeurS can make
more money than under the old scale.

AS evidence of good faith on the
part of the chauffeurs, they agreed to
work for $l.6S day, or $40 a week,
rather than go out on d strike, but this
proposition was refused US, although we
have since understood that many stock
holders of the company were in favor of
granting il.
1T has been charged that under the
present scale of wages and with the tips
received from passengers. the chauffeurs
are able to make good living. Fifty
cents a day is a fair average for tips
and many men do not make this. 1t is
evident that fair living cannot be made
under these circumstances.
