NO SYMPATHY STRIKE
FOR TAXICAB DRIVERS
Employees of Big Companies
Said to Be Satisfied.

There will he no sympathy strike OF
the other taNicab drivers with the 60
drivers Of the Black e. White and Fay
Taxicab Companies. II was learned last
night. and the fight which started yes
terday with the walkout OF nearly 900
OF the Black a White Company's en-
playees. including drivers, mechanics and
clerical workers Is merely fight be-
tween the company and the union to
force Lawrence Fay. who recently alb
sorbed the Black & White Company into
his Fay Taxlcab Company, TO pay union
wages to the drivers.
At present the general rate paid
drivers by the yellow. Twentieth Cen
fury, Brown a. White, and Yale COM
panies is one-third of the days re-
ceipts plus any tips the man may make
himself. The Black q White Company
was the only one whose men belonged
TO a union. and the rate paid to them
was forty cents an hour for ten-hour
day When the company became a part
Of Fay's company the latter refused TO
deal with the local union and announced
he intended 10 place the same scale Of
wages In vogue as the other companies
use.
Daniel Coyle. delegate OF the local
union, said Il was impossible for drlv-
ers TO make the usual $3.50 a week or
s24 week for ten-hour day, under the
new pay announced by Fay.
Inquiry by THE New Yonn HERALD
last night. however. disclosed that the
drivers Of tho Yellow Taxicab Company,
the Yale Taxicab Corporation. and the
Twentieth Century Brown & White
Company. the three largest organized
taxi companies, arc able to make much
more than that each week through the
standard one-third rate paid them.

This revolver, the police said, was a
.32 caliber weapon and the defect in its
mechanism was such that when the
trigger was pulled the cylinder moved

the hammer dropped, causing the ham

one that the hammer of a perfect re-

Simon s. Peavy, a lawyer, testified
Yesterday IL the trial of Edward NJ.
Fuller OF Z. NJ. Fuller & Co. bankrupt
stock brokers. charged with bucketing.
that after Franklin L. Link of West
moreland Tenn. had ordered his stock
sold and account closed, Fuller avoided
paying the $4,000 due him until altar
the firm failed.
Peavy said he went to the Fuller
Offices In about the third week of las.
June to collect n draft for Links
money and, when he finally got to
Fuller. the latter told him che didn't
want to be bothered or annoyed by
this matter" Peavy said his insistence
brought from Fuller the statement
that he had sent Link check. where
upon PeGvy suggested that Fuller stop
payment on that check, write another
check and let Peavy have 1t certified.
Fuller replied. he said, that he had had
experience with that sort of thing and
usually found that both checks would
be cashed. The lawyer said he told
Fuller frankly he did not believe the
check had been sent. Fuller asked
him to come back later.
Peavy said he called the next day,
but was unable to see Fuller and. on
the following Monday. called again. only

change, who told on Thursday of an
alleged agreement between himself and
the Fuller house. whereby Braid's
name was used to cover bucketed or
ders for Fuller, was recalled to the
stand. he testified that he had no rec
ord of the stocks handled through the
alleged agreement and did not know
what they were, because he was n,t
supposed to know. The main purpose.
he said, was to use his name on the
Fuller blotters and ledgers so that
skeptical customers OF the Fuller Arm
might be convinced that their orders
were not bucketed.
Albert ]. Veihman. formerly an or
der clerk for Fuller & Co., said he re-
ceived instructions from William f.
MCGEE. Fullers partner to take certain
orders and he would receive name
through which to handle them later.
He said later he received the name Of
Braid from James McCue. another or
der clerk. The witness asserted he
also received the names of Mckenna
and of King. He did not identify those
men and he said he was unable TO tell
whether the orders handled through any
Of those brokers. including Braid were
bucketed or properly executed. He tcs'
titled Wallace West. an eighteen-year-
old blotter clerk. took the envelope con-
tanning the order lists from the Fuller
Office to the Braid Office.
All efforts to obtain an admission
from Veihman that he knew OF any
bucketing or any dummy accounts or
house accounts were In vain.
The trial will continue Monday.
