He charged that their movement
has been fomented by "racketeers
and chiselers."
Police Commissioner John F.
Organ announced last night, fol-
lowing a meeting with all ranking
police officials in the city, that
the rights of the strikers would
be respected but that any depre-
dations would be put down with
force. The streets. he said, must
be kept clear for traffic.
The drivers are on strike for
recognition of their union. Rela-
tions between the drivers and OPP
orators became strained several
months ago when the courts in
validated five-cent cab fare tax
which the city had imposed. The
drivers demanded they be given
the extra nickel and the compan-
les insisted it go to them. The
drivers struck and union organic
ers made great gains among the
strikers.
This controversy was mediated
by Mayor LaGuardia and the in
validated tax was divided among
the drivers, companies and the
riding public. the latter receiving
special discounts on Monday as
their share.
Conflict between the companies
and their drivers smouldered un-
til about 10 days ago when drivers
of the Parmalee system walked
out. The strike quickly spread tc
drivers for all the major compan,
les.
