TAXI DRIVERS HIT
ASD|SORGAN|zERS
Employers Discharge 18
From Service for Attempt
ing to Form Union.

Efforts Of a group of taxicab drivers
to form a union among employees of
the Black & White and Yellow Cab
Companies has resulted in the dis
charge of 18 drivers for the good Of
the service" it was stated today by

combined companies.
There are always a few trouble
makers in every organization" Brown
explained. 1--WE decided to get rid of
the few in ours. That is ALL"
Denies There Is Taxi War.
Brown denied there was any taxi
war" between his organization and in
dependent drivers. He said he was
having no labor troubles now and that
his firm has as many cabs on the
street as ever. All present employees
appear satisfied with the treatment
they receive from the company, he de-
clared
There were q number of 'disOrgan-
iZers' among our drivers" Brown said.
"and we weeded them out for the good
OF the other men and of the public.

been greatly exaggerated. We have
about a thousand men in our employ.

surprise if a few disloyal men get
into the organization now and then"

ing abolishment of the 5 per cent
bonus system in use by Browns con-
Germ, it is said. Under this plan each

sort of accidents or who were COM
PEELED by circumstances to remain
away from work. They wanted q
guarantee of 81 a day, 35 per cent
commission and 5 per cent bonus, it
