Allege Discrimination Against
Men Concerned in First One.

a new strike of chauffeurs was threat
ened yesterday on account of alleged dis
ordinations against union men by the
taxicab companies. William II. Ashton
general organizer of the International
Brotherhood Of Teamsters, who made two
visits 20 the Mayor yesterday with COM
plaints on behalf of the chauffeurs, said it
took hard work to keep the chauffeurs
from quitting on Wednesday night and
again yesterday morning.
When Ashton saw the Mayor the first
time Yesterday he told him that independ-
ent of the list of men convicted Of violence
during the strike sent by the Mayor TO the
companies, the companies were refusing 20
re-employ union men against whom there
were no complaints. After his second visit

taken by Mayor Gaynor was that all re-
turning strikers should be taken back ex-
cept those convicted of violence.
Il w8s denied by the companies that they
had been discriminating against men VINO
were in the union. A representative of the
Cab and Taxi Company said:

satisfied. So far from there being any dis
elimination against union men. 1 believe
