FLAY La GUARD|A
FOR CAB VIOLENCE
Fleet Operators Blame
Mayor for Rioting in Which
60 Are Injured.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 23-Three
large taxicab fleet owners joined to-
day in a slashing attack on Mayor
F. H. La Guardia, charging him with
responsibility for yesterdays rioting,
in which more than $50 taxicabs were
damaged and 80 working drivers, pas
sengerS, pedestrians and policemen
were injured.
Scores of cabs were damaged,
pedestrians we're bowled over and
working drivers hauled from their
seats and beaten almost insensible
by bands of strikers.
The operators published their
charges in an open letter to the
mayor in full page advertisements in
newspapers, and said:
IF you and the Police Department
find that the riot situation is beyond
your control you should call upon
the Governor of the State for mill
Charge Encouragement.
The letter charged that the mem-
bers of the mobs were for the most
part not taxicab drivers, but agitators
of disorder enrolled for the purpose
from industries other than the taxi
cab industry" and added these
further charges:
That you are negotiating with
leaders of the strike movement, who
advocate and encourage these prac-
ticeS
That by recognizing and negotiat-
ing with them you are encouraging
them to continue.
That the regional Labor Board, as
late as this morning, is trying to force
us to recognize them"
The operators told the mayer that
on the first taxicab strike-the one
over division of receipts of the city S
scent tax on cab rides-the mayor
cloaked the leaders with power and
made an agreement with them,r and
that the operators had signed an
agreement with him "and have@per-
formed it 100 per cent They
charged the leaders, "wto you orig
inally created have not livead up to
the agreement. and continued:
1T is your duty to enforce law and
order and not to close your eyes to
the now daily riots"
The letter charged that the Central
Committee of the TaXicab Drivers
Unions Of Greater New York, "spon-
sored only by the Communist party, -
is trying to force the fleet employees
to join their union "and to pay dues
to support professional agitators of
labor and racketeers.'
The operators told the mayor he
was quoted as having stated I'VE
don't want any company unions in
New York" and "let the American
Federation of Labor come in here"
The letter charged the mayors ref
erence to the American Federation of
Labor was in the face of your posi-
tive knowledge that the federation re-
fuses to recognize the Taxicab Drivers
Union of Greater New York"
The strike situation was compare
lively quiet today and last night fol-
lowing yesterdays serious disturb
ances. Only isolated cases of dis
orders were reported Before dawn a
taXicab was stoned in Harlem and six
men were arrested.
When the rioting Of yesterday aft
ernoon was at its height the mayor
issued instructions to the police that
the disturbances must stop. AS a
consequence a special order was issued
by the police commissioner forbidding
parades, and large forces of police
were modified at strategic points.
