JAPANESE CHAUFFEURS
REDUCE TARIFFS TO
COMPETE WITH TAxlS

A movement which is believed will
result in a rate war was made last
night when the chauffeurs having cars
at the several Japanese automobile
stands met and, after considerable de-
bate, voted a cut in their present
schedule of tariffs which, says. the
Hawaii HOchi, will make the rates
which they will charge in the future
on d much lower basis than those
now in use by the hackdriVers.
The Japanese Chauffeurs, says the
HOchi, by thus reducing their rates,
will endeayOr to give the taXis stiff
fight in the securing OF fares. The
HOchi also points out that. on account
of the low rates now being charged
by the taXicab company. the hack driy-
ers steadily are being forced out OF
business, and that many Of them are
offering 10 sell their outfits at re-
markaDIy low price.
