(5y Anna !. Palola, Worker
Correspondent


PORTLAND, Oregon, Sept. s.-The
taxicab drivers strike has been go
ing on for more than six weeks now,
and one of the companies, The Red
Top Co., is ready 10 settle. However,
as the managers of the Black and
White, and the Yellow Cab Co. still
refuse to yield, there will be a contin-
uation OF the strike.
The Black & White, and the Yellow
Cab companies think they can win
by being persistent and by hiring
scabs. In many of the daily papers
advertisements have been published
that more taxicab drivers are needed
and that wages are good. OF course,
they want scabs, but the articles in
the papers do not say so.
One point, however, is Ito the adj
vantage of the strikers. They have
established a taxicab company OF
their own, called the Union Taxicab
Co. All the drivers are union mem
bers. The fare charged ds the same
as that on the other lines, that is,
twenty-five cents for the first third of
a mile and ten cents each for the fol
lowing thirds. Besides this. the com
pany is able to pay living wage to
the drivers.
