tieup of taXicab service in London was
effected today when the drivers car
ried out the strike they voted last
night II was estimated that 5000
taNicabs stood idle in their garages
during the day, the only ones running
being the few owned by Individual
drivers. All of the taxicab companies
from the largest to the smallest, We're
affected, although they declared they
had the names of many strike break
ers who would relieve the situation
soon.
The trouble is largely due to the in
ability of the companies, as they claim
to make the taxicab business profitable
When the vehicles first appeared. the
larger companies reaped u great har-
vest of profits. but lately few of the
companies have been able to pay divi-
dends. On the other hand the drivers
complain they are unable to make q
living under the agreement. that they
furnish their own petrol. An advance
in the price of petrol from to 13 pence
to the drivers they declared they woulG
not pay.
