out the city decided to continue
he strike for 100 per cent of
the nickel tax.
Besides this the strikers demand
recognition of the independent union,
which is being formed through the
amalgamation Of all the four unions
involved in the strike.
1t was reported last night that
Willow cabs were operating with
>olice protection on West End Ave.
nd upper Broadway, in the Bronx.
When this was reported to the meet
ng Of over 1000 strikers at Hunts
Point Palace, the drivers surged into
he street to stop the cabs.
LaGuardia's proposal, which the
men fatty refuse to accept and which
was presented by Morris L. Ernst,
liberal lawyer who recently demanded
free speech for the New York Nazis,
was for a division of the nickel among
The riders, operators and drivers,
Joseph Gilbert, organizer of the
Taxi Workers Union and member OF

on the men to carry on the strike

mo settlement to be made by
the united strike committee without
the approval of the men.
5-Recognition of a united indie
pendent haclSmen's union.
The majority Of the strikers have
agreed to carry on the struggle for
these demands.
Ernst Would Get Cabs Rolling
Morris L. Ernst, speaking for the
Mayor to a group of strikers yester-
day, clearly revealed his purpose in
connection with the strike.
Hurry up" said Ernst. II want to
get the cabs rolling"
A new attempt on the part of the
taxi owners to break the strike came
to light yesterday when a group OF
about so taxi drivers came to 285
Madison Ave, where Mr.. Ernst's off,
ces are located, secured the use Of
room on the sixth floor of the
building, called for Mr. Ernst and told
him that they represented 10000
drivers and wanted to return to work,
Upon questioning the men, how
ever, it was learned that they were
not elected by their garages and rep
resented no labor organization. The
men were obviously sent by the fleet
owners to disrupt the strike. They
represented no masses of strikers.

US. DEPOR TEE
COMING Home
FROM GERMANY.
Nightmares of Prison Days
as Alleged Spy Keep
Memories Fresh
BY EDWARD BEATTIE
Copyright 1884 by United Press)

ABOARD S. S. PRESIDENT
HARDING AT SEA, Dec. 10
(UP)-One form of "torture" in
flicted upon Miss Lillian Isobel
Steele, deported from Germany
as a spy, was revealed by the
young woman from Hollywood
last night.
She said after repeated re-
quests she finally got a package
of cigarettes, forbidden her when
she first was thrown into Jail
here. She asked the matron for
permission to smoke. The matron
said, go ahead-but you'll need
match" And refused to give
her one.
Miss Steele said she carried the
cigarettes in her pocket for two
weeks and finally gave them to
another prisoner.
Homeward bound after months
in German prisons where she was
held as a spy, Miss Steele, of Hol-
lywood, revealed yesterday that
while in the "death cell" she con-
sidered suicide.
Restless and still nervous, Miss
Steele hesitatede to reveal the full
story of her ordeal. She said her
cell had been marked with a cross,
indicating she was destined for
death, and the memory silenced
her tongue, even though she had
left Germany behind, deported
Tuesday at midnight by her jail
erS. =.
Her first free night since last
summer was plagued by night
mares recalling her imprisonment.
81 kept awakening and imagin-
ing someone had come to take me
back to Germany" she said.
She discussed her adventures
with reserve, still fearing to break
the seal Of silence put on her by
German authorities as condition
of her deportation instead of trial
by the stern peoples court.
Miss Steele spent four months
in German prisons. She was ar
rested on unspecified charges and
released finally under orders of
deportation, only after strenuous
efforts on her behalf by U. s.
consular authorities. The Germans
declared she was guilty of espi-
onage although they admitted
Miss Steele obviously was not
professional spy.
She gained composure slowly
as the liner drew further from
Germany. Complaining of the
food, she remembered especially
"those great chunks of bread with
nothing on them"
Of her activities in Germany,
however, Miss Steele remained
reticent. She insisted she was in
nocent of any crime. but added
81 can't talk until 1 receive a
certain letter from New York, for
fear of hurting many others"
When she was transferred from
Moabite to the Alexanderplatz
prison, Miss Steele said she was
asked to pay for taxi, but plead
ed she was penniless. She was
obliged then to go in an omnibus
in her summer clothing, despite
the cold.
Miss Steele, who hopes to be
home in Hollywood before Christ
mas with her family, said her
plans were uncertain.
