POLICE CONTINUE
RAIDS ON CABMEN
Several Hundred Are
in New Roundup

A series Of raids on taxi drivers
extending from Columbus Circle to
the Hotel Pennsylvania district and
taking in Times sGuare were con-
Quoted yesterday. In these raids
some two hundred or more drivers
have been stripped because, the re-
ports state, some of these drivers had
failed within the short ten day period
allotted them since January 1st to re-
port their licenses.
Hack Bureau Behind Raids.
The hack bureau which has been
active in other raids recently is said
to have made complete list of those
who have thus far for various rea-
sons, in many cases undoubtedly be-
cause of illness, failed to report.
Drivers are being held up in many
parts of the city, their rate cards TAX
en- from them and ordered to appear
at the hack bureau.
At the offices of the Amalgamated
Taxi Association, 342 West 42nd St.,
the largest association Of driver
owners in the city, it was stated that
perhaps score of its members had
been taken in the raids. Frank Put
nam, secretary of the Amalgamated,
reported that his organization was
warning its members of the situation
and advising them to comply with the
order Immediately. Drivers neglect
to comply with the regulation, it was
announced, because of the short time
allotted and for other justifiable
causes.
Drivers Express Indignation.
Drivers themselves when inter-
viewed expressed themselves in
stronger language, intimating that
the series of raids recently conducted
for one reason or another or for no
reason at all, is part of the program
advocated in certain responsible quar-
ters of cutting down the number of
