bers, be set up to arbitrate the
strike.
Reject Strikebreaking Plans
such a plan is designed to break
the strike" said Joseph Gilbert, or
ganizer of the union. 1T would
throw the whole question of our
struggle against company unions
into the hands of the feet owners
and company union officials. The
company would always have a ma
jority vote in such committee. We
will never accept such strike
breaking proposal"
The second plan, which was in
troduced by the Regional Labor
Board and was also turned down by
the strikers, suggested that three
commissions be set up; one for the
Parmelee, one for the Terminal and
one for the United Taxicab Board
of Trade. The commission for the
Parmelee and Terminal systems
were to consist of two members ap-
pointed by the Mayor, one repre-
sentative from the employers, one
from the company union and one
from the Taxi Drivers Union. For
the United Taxicab Board Of Trade,
the plan proposes that three mem
bers of the commission would be
appointed by the Mayor and that
one would represent the operators
and one the Taxi Drivers Union.
Union leaders in commenting on
the second plan pointed out that the
second plan was not one iota better
than the first. In both plans union
representation was in the minority.
Irving Robbins, president of the
Psrmelee company union, sent a
telegram to Mayor LaGuardia yes
terday afternoon, stating that he
would give the Mayor 80 hours to
settle the strike, or he (Robbins)
would take the situation in his own
hands.
Students of the New York Uni
versity declared their support Of the
strike of the taxi drivers in a meet
ing which was held at the school
yesterday afternoon, which was adj
dressed by Robert Gessner, an in
structor in the university, and strik-
ing hackmen.
Strengthen Mass Picketing
The strikers exerted the utmost
energy throughout the day in
strengthening the mass picketing
The hackmen are picketing two
abreast at both entrances to the
Psrmelee. Terminal and Radio Cab
companies. The spirit and militancy
of the men is as high now as at
any time during the course of the
strike.
Aiding the taxi drivers in the task
of picketing the garages, workers
from other industries, such as
transportation, metal, food and
other unions, are helping in the
organization of the picket lines and
are marching side by side with the
hackmen at the garages.
Taxi drivers are still fiocking into
the Taxi Drivers Union and taking
out books.
Hackmen Determined to Win
Dark rings under the eyes of a
majority of the strikers show that
they have gone through many long
sleepless night to maintain firm
picket lines. But the men do not
show in any way that they are tired
The strikers are holding together
now more than ever before, deter
mined to win out despite all odds.
Relief continues to be distributed
at the 10th st. and Third Ave. strike
hall by the Strikers Relief Commit
tee and the Workers International
Relief. Warm meals are being given
to the strikers twice day. Food
such as sandwiches and coffee can
always be had at the relief station
by the pickets when they return
from duty.
Following a check-up of all the
East Side Manhattan garages yes
terday, it was revealed that all ga
RACES in this section of the city are
struck nearly 100 per cent.
