DRIVERS Of TAiIS
DESE2T MACHINES
Seven Hundred ChauffeurS
Join Ranks of Striking
Expressmen.

NEW YORK, Nov. THE first step
toward a general strike that will stop
every vehicle In the city unless the
express companies yield to arbitration
was taken today when 100 chauffeurs
went on strike and crippled the taxicab
service. They declared their action was
in sympathy with the striking express
men.
Detectives raided the headquarters Of
the striking taxicab drivers at noon to-
day in a search for firearms. Closets
and other places were ransacked. but
no arrests were made. Following the
raid 200 more chaufeurs struck making
800 out now.
The chauffeurs decided o walk out
after an all night meetin OF local No.
267, of the Chauners an, Cab Drivers
Union, which is allied with the Inter
national Brotherhood Of Transfers.
The meeting was followed by a con-
ference Of officials of the international
brotherhood.
Il was said that this conference was
held for the purpose Of discussing plans
for calling out every teamster in New
York with the exception of union men
who drive wagons carrying Good to the
public.
The chauffeurs who walked out to-
day were employed by the New York
Auto and Livery Company. which con-
trolls the New York Cab Company. the
New York TaXicab Company. and the
TaXicab Service Company
Most Of the employees OF the New York
TaXicab Company are non-union men
so that only a few taxi drivers walked
out there.
Though the chaufeurs struck In syn
PATTY with the express men who are
out, they made a demand for more
wages as the technical basis for their
strike. There are 22e0 men in the
Chauneurs and Cab Drivers Unior and
most Of them We're expected 20 walk
out before nightfall.
Trouble all over the city followed
the taxicab strike.

band
Such is the brief description given
of the meeting Of Samuel Stevens and
his wife. from whose presence he had
disappeared four years before.
The story of the Stevenses is like
a chapter from a novel. Four years
ago they were living together and
had seven children. The husband and
father was a laborer. The family is
said to have gotten along as well and
lived as comfortably as the average
family Of a laboring man and the fam.
ily relations were pleasant. Then. one
day. after some little upset over one
of the children, the punishment by
him Of a daughter, It is said. neigh.
bors made a complaint, and a war
rant is declared to have been issued
for his arrest lie disappeared from
his home. His wife expected that he
would soon return.
As time wos oa she found the
struggle alone OF trying TO provide for
the large family too hard battle.
She made a brave effort, but the
handicap was great. She could not
get steady work and sickness now
and then invaded the little home.
Then she allowed three of the chill
dren to be taken away. she keeping
the youngest. Through the day she
toiled for her children, and continued
to hope for her husbands return. She
was confident that he would come
back and believed that he was doing
the best he could and what he thought
was right
Then one day grocer brought the
| news that her husband was dead. He
had received letter. he said. in
which II was stated that Sam Stevens
had been victim of yellow fever at
/ Oswego, Miss.
She lost heart and gave up the re-
naming children except the youngest
Harry. with only one child to care
for she found It little easier to get
along. Neighbors helped and time
