Wife Pleads For
Fair Deal

To the Editor Of The Times:
Why all this shooting at the
poor downtrodden t axicab
drivers? I married one and I
know just how poor and just
how badly beaten down they
are.
They can't get a square deal
from the police. They can't get
q fair break from the passen-
gers. They can't get decent
treatment from the men from
whom they are trying to buy
their automobiles.
Still, although they are hit by
all of these interests, they are
struggling valiantly to EARN
their living, instead of going
on the dole. My husband works
IS or 16 hours every day. And
he really works. Even with
that, however, the returns are
so small that it is almost i'm
possible for him to support him
self, me and our two children.
Now they are fighting him
and trying to take his cab
away because he would like to
increase the rates just a little.
It simply isn't right.

singing song of revolt.

That's - what do they call it9-a

But what's the trouble?"
Mitani draws him back behind plaster.
Other people come to the bridge in order to see
the crowd below. They do not observe Cabal
and Mitani.
Mitani, in a low tone: THAT is the outcome
of Theotocopulos. He ought not to have been
allowed to talk on television."

to stir up lot of the lazy people in the towns.
They hate this endless exploration and ex-

It's sort of envy they feel. 1t wounds their

selves. but they cannot suffer anyone else
to do it. -

The Struggle for the Space Gun
The scene is an anteroom to the dining
alcove where Cabal, Passworthy, Catherine
and Maurice are to dine The alcove is a sort
of glazed balcony projecting over one of the
great City Ways. When the glass is closed, it
is quite silent. When it is opened, sounds
come up from below. On a couch Maurice
and Catherine sit close together and very
content with each other. They look up as if
through the transparent ceiling at something
in the air and then stand up as Passworthy
appears through small door that leads from
above.

A considerable number of people dining

NEW YORK, January 21.-The i'm
provement which started in the paper
industry in 1888 was extended and
amplified during 1884, according to a
survey by Dun g. Bradstreet, Inc.
Influenced by the changed indus
trial conditions. production and distri-
button were substantially in excess Of
the volume recorded for the year pre-
ceding, in spite of numerous Interrupt
tions TO progress, particularly during
the third quarter.
With the trend in both of these di-
visions now strongly upward, a long
step toward complete recovery is eX-
pected to be made during 1884, as
overproduction and price-cutting ap-
pear to have been brought definitely
to an end, and the year has opened
with cheerfulneSS more widespread
than at any time since 1928.
With the distance covered since
the all-time low levels were touched in
1882 estimated at 80 to 40 per cent,
profits are becoming more general and
some firms were out of the red in 1884
for the first time since 1890 Stabilized
prices under code regulations were
factors which strengthened profit
margins, while other favorable con-
ditions were reduced credit losses
and general improvement in collec-
tionS.
"The leading paper mills throughout
the country showed steady improve
ment during 1884, with employment
fairly good in most districts and gen.
eral pay rolls the highest since 1881.
Most of the factories are starting the
new year with low warehouse stocks
and well-filled order files and with
demand expanding for nearly all
grades produced.
Production at most mills showed
substantial increase during the last

definitely by the fact that many mills
