TAXI TAKERS
STRIKE" A new
H0LD-UP TRICK
Martin Clicque Long
SellOut Record
(By a Worker Correspondent

by Worker Correspondent
The taxi misleaders will never
stop figuring out ways and means
to fool the New York taxi drivers.
In 1922 group consisting OF
julius Martel acting as president
and Murphy and Jess Donald and a
few others wanted to. fleece the
hackmen in a legal manner. They
Immediately hired lawyer, Sydney
Lash, and went in for much pub
licity, the result being that they sue
ceedcd in organizing individual hack
men in Greater New York with the
exception of the American Yellow.
This group did their utmost to ex-
tract all the money they could from
the membership.
Hackmen Desert Takers.
In 1924 the hackmen began to
desert the misleaders and their I'M
ion. In order to keep the few that
remained the misleaders called a
recognition of the union. Like all
strike for higher commission and
the rest of the strikes which are led
by such takers the result was that
the group disappeared with all the
funds OF the union which amounted
to several thousands of dollars. The
hackmen were left to their fate.
Within a short while the same
clique financed taxicabs which were
called Royal Martel," after the
president, julius Martel. 1t was not
successful event.
Takers Think Up New Scheme
Then they thought up scheme
to organize the individual cab own
ers Owners of one cab) which meant
charging for a monogram which call
ed itself "White Horse" This also
meant monthly dues for the clique
which would have Melted them a
small fortune, had they succeeded.
Unfortunately for them the police
and big fleet owners did not allow
them to as it meant lowering the
mile rate, (Which is now 20 cents a
mile and would then become Is cents
a mile).
Now they are back with their
tricks to get us hooked. The result
is that they have organized few
hackmen and their demand is raise
in the commission from 40 to As per
cent, and nothing else. Without or
ganizing the men or anything at all,
On Tuesday, Aug. 6, a car with gor-
illas came up to the garage I was
in and notified the men with threats
that they were "out on general
strike"
A Militant Union.
Men, we have militant union,
the Taxicab Chauffeurs Union of
Greater New York, which demands
SIS day wages for day men and Sc
for night, also compensation for in
juries, no discrimination as to color,
sanitary conditions in all garages,
and abolition of police supervision.
Men, do not be fooled by these
takers but join the one militant UNI
ion, which meets at Labor Temple,
243 i. Saith ST., the first and third
Thursday each month.

Jones and Laughlin are giving
indefinite vacations to hundreds Of
its workers here. Needless to say,
the vacations are without pay. An
other point about them is that they
are so indefinite that the workers
never know two days in advance
when they are due back to work.
This keeps them reporting almost
daily, and, seeing the steady stream
of men who have been laid off,
workers fortunate" enough to have
been kept on the job swallow their
protests against the speed-up, the
low wages, and the long hours, for
there are too many men to take
their places to risk a word. Not
for long, though, will they remain
silent. A shop committee is being
formed, a shop bulletin will be is

SAMMY MANDELL
 READY FOR BOUT
Lightweight Champion Not
 Worried Over Go With CanZOneri

Chicago, July S1 P-FortlfieI with the armor of modern cham pions-dazzling speed and deception Mandell isn't worrying about the bone crushing blows of Tony Canzoneri. who will attempt to jar him from his lightweight throne Friday night.
 The champion, apparently as good as ever despite a somewhat extended lay-off from heavy compe- iton. argues that Canzoneri is the same type as Jimmy McLarnin, a dangerous puncher who he soundly defeated yea rago. He believes he is fast enough to outbox Canzoneri and never get him get set for damaging punch.
 II have a great respect for Can zoneri's punches and l have trained harder for him that any fighter I have met since becoming champion
 "I admit l do not expect to knock him out, What l am to do, and will do. is to outbox him. If do that easy enough I ra~ him out enough to land my left for a knock out punch. That's my plan and I have been training for it as I never did before"
 Since he beat McLarnin. Manden physically. is heavier in the shoul- ders and deeper through the chest. But his legs, haven't thickened ani his torso, back and shoulder muscles are as hard as ever. An improvement is noted in his hands. They are harder and during his training he has not experienced his former worry over them.
 Sammy wound up his heavy train trg yesterday and moved into the Loop for a tapering off process to- day.
 Canzoneri worked hard yesterday boxing six rounds with his mates and putting in two rounds with the bags. He planned to finish today with another stiff session, with eight rounds of boxing with partners as the big item.
