NEW YORK. February 3.-Some of
the city's best people stood at some of
the city's best curbs early today at the
end of an evenings merriment, and
called out into the icy air:
Taxi"
Nothing happened. There were no
taxis. The drivers were still on strike.
Pretty ladies lightly wrapped, shiv
cred and tapped the paper-thin soles
Of their pumps on the iced sidewalks,
while their escorts ran frantically up
and down, one hand protecting their
toppers and the other raised in the
conventional c0me-hither gesture en-
ployed in hailing a public vehicle
1t was the second time within 10
days that the carriage trade had
found itself aggravated by a strike.
On the other occasion walters and
chefs walked out of leading hotel
dining rooms just as diners were tuck
ing napkins under their chins in an
ticipation of savory victuals.
Estimates Of the number of cab
drivers on strike today varied, but the
dearth of vehicles on the main boule-
wards bore out indication that prob
ably IS 900 men were OH holiday. The
leading taxicab concerns said that
about 10000 cabs had been withdrawn
from service because of the strike
Mayor La Cuardia hoped for set
tlement today, but took steps to pre-
vent any violence
The cabmen. who appear to have
struck spontaneously and not by order
Of any union. want the cab concerns
to give them all the money that was
collected as a city tax of cents a
fare under a measure adopted last
September.
Approximately s5OO,OOO was COL
lected before the tax was declared
illegal.
The drivers want the entire amount
returned to them. The companies
offer to split it 60-4O. the drivers to
get the 40. Mayor La Guardia has
expressed himself as favoring paying
the entire sum to the drivers.
The only cabs operating early to-
day were those of owner-operators.
and the number of these was dWin-
ding as the independents joined the
strike.
