UNITED STATES MAIL
.CHAUFFEURS STRIKE
Entire Section South of
Forty-Fifth Street, New
York, Affected


New York. October 27.-Seventy chaut-
feurs employed to transport United states
mail ON motor trucks went on strike
without warning tonight. The entire Sec
ton south of Forty-fifth street was af-
fected. This district includes the gen.
eral postoffice and branches at railroad
terminals and steamship piers.
The men are employed by the Postal
Transfer Service company, which has the
contract TO carry the mail. John Masten,
superintendent, said the men struck be-
cause their union had not been recognized
The companys contract forbids this,
Masten said.
The drivers, in discussing the strike
complained that they were compelled to
drive through the streets at high speed
In order to make trains. They said
they understood that Police Commits
sioner Waldo, as a result of recent acci-
dents, had instructed his men to arrest
mail automobile drivers If found speeders.
Mayor Kline today recommended to the
board of aldermen the passage of city
ordinance regulating the speed of mail
trucks. Eight persons have been killed
by these vehicles this year.
