FORCENEGOTIATION
NJ en- Incensed Against
LaCuardia's Trickery
By HARRY RAYMOND

NEW YORK. - Several
thousand striking taxi driv-
ers, at a meeting in st. Mich
olas Arena, 65th st., yester-
day afternoon voted against
accepting Mayor LaGuardia's pro-
posal for a plebiscite to be con-
Quoted Tuesday, after the strike
breaking nature Of the Mayors plan
was revealed.
According to the Mayors plan,
the majority of the drivers in the
city would be denied the right to
vote in the plebiscite. It was
pointed out by Samuel Orner,
President Of the Taxi Drivers Union
of Greater New York, that only
those who were on the payroll Of
Parmelee, Terminal and Radio COM
panies on January Both and 31st
would be allowed to vote. Such a
plan includes only 5000 of the 49,
900 cabs in the city and would
eliminate one half of the drivers.
The striking drivers unanimously
passed a resolution agreeing to hold
plebiscite for the entire industry
and remaining on strike until re-
suits of the plebiscite are accepted
by the operators.
Opening the meeting yesterday
afternoon in st. Nicholas Arena
Herman Goldstein, President of
the Brooklyn local of the Taxi
Drivers Union said: we want a
plebiscite for the whole industry
not for Parmelee. Terminal and
Radio drivers alone"
Samuel Orner, President Of the
union, in his report to the drivers
pointed out that the union bod
gained great victory insofar as
they had forced the feet owners to
sit with them in the same room.
Most of the boys think that this
plebiscite is a wonderful victory"
said Orner, but I have ALWAYS sold
that I will not give nv rnprovol to
anything that snacks OF treacherv.
Every cab driver has a full rioht to
vote in the plebiscite. We will sub
NIT to a vote but we want every
taxi driver in New York to cast his
ballot"
Vote to Continue Strike
The strikers voted unanimously
to continue their militant strike
until they forced the companies to
recognize the union
The drive for relief was intensi-
fled yesterday. A decision was made
by the strike committee that all
garage stewards in the five Dor
oughs are to send delegations to

city to collect funds for the strike.
and get further support of the labor
movement.
The first major victory of the
strike was scored Saturday when the
fleet owners were forced to meet
with the taxi drivers representatives.
Backed by Delegation.
Backed by delegation of 800 strik-
ers, union leaders went to the City
Hall Saturday where they met for
the first time with the feet owners.
Previously the operators had en-
phatically insisted that they would
not meet with the representatives
of the strikers. The militancy of the
strike, the mass picketing and dem
onstrations, however, forced the
feet owners to change their minds.

The construction Of the Pan

it shortened and simplified
transportation between the At

French in the Panama Canal,
which began with a crest boom,
and ended in a period Of de-
preston, further aggravated by

ton of the Panama Canal by
the Government of the United

With all this change and
movement in it's history it is no
wonder that Panama presents
a many-faceted surface to the
visitor there. The great canal
mas, necessarily, a tremendous
influence on the commercial
and economic life of the coun-
try.
In spite of a popular idea that
Panama is all low and flat, it
is, in reality, one of the most
mountainous countries in Amer
lea. Much of the republic en-
joys a cool, high climate, where
the great plateaus 5000 feet
above sea level, make possible
cultivation of all things native
to the temperate zone.
