Express Gains Sharp
On United Air Lines

A gain of 158 per cent in war pro-
.duction and other air express car
goes was reported today by United
Air Lines for August as compared
with the same month year ago.
According to c, P. Graddick, di-
rector of Uniteds express-mail-
freight department, express pound
miles flown in August totaled ap-
proXimately 745 ,956 900, as against
289, ,296944 for August, 194l. He
declared that rush shipments linked
with war production have been a
major factor in that increase.
For the first eight months of this
year, United recorded an increase
of 155 per cent in express pound
miles flown, as compared with the
corresponding period of 194l with
an estimated total of 4.7l0,549 .537
express pound miles, as against

on to act in the current dispute, has
indicated definitely it would take no
action. Mr.. Glenn had asked the
PUG to reconsider its order which
established the new zone and sub
zone rates about six months ago.
The taxi vacation" June "a was an
outgroWth of the PUC's refusal to
give new consideration to the rate
schedule, at that time opposed by
almost all Washington drivers.
Many Satisfied.
Today, however, most cab opera
tors have become accustomed to the
new zone rates. A number of them
have expressed their satisfaction
with the operation of the new sys-
tenn and most of the other drivers
are not as opposed to the new zone
rates as they were last June.
A vigorous campaign against Mr..
Glenn has been conducted by other
elements within the cab industry to
prevent a strike. The Taxicab
Driver, a newspaper of which G. E
Bowley is editor, devoted nearly its
entire front page in a Monday
extra" to a denunciation of the pro-
posed strike. The front-page edi-
torial charges that "all he GLENN
has done is make trouble for the cab
drivers of this city,
Two Main Points Cited.
Mr.. Glenn pointed out several
weeks ago that tonight's strike, if
called, would be based on two es-
sential points:
/. The lack of rubber for the
wheels of District cabs.
2. The refusal of the PUG to re-
consider its order of last spring, es-
tablishing the new zone base.
Assurances that the tire situation
has been satisfactorily adjusted have
come from both the OPA and the
ODT. The issue tonight, then, if
the strike is carried through, will
revolve around the PUC's attitude
toward the new zone rates.
Representative Schultz, Democrat
of Indiana, member of the House
District Committee, indicated yes
terday that striking cab drivers
would have their licenses revoked
or would be denied means of OBJ
tanning tires in the future. He did
not indicate, however, how these
measures would be enacted.

Enemies Of Private
Enterprise Stymied,
Schrdm Declares
Exchange Chief Says
Patriotic Effort Has
Confounded Foes
BY the Associated Press.

ST. PAUL, Sept. Is Emil
Schram, president of the New York
Stock Exchange, said in an address
here last night that the perform
ance of American industry, busi-
ness and finance in the war effort
has completely confounded the en-
emies" of our enterprise system.
Speaking at dinner given by the
st, Paul Chamber of Commerce for
the governors of the Association of
Stock Exchange Firms, Schram
said:
we have had an inspiring exhi-
bition recently in the application of
mass production techniques.
This conversion, mind you, was &C
complished without Government
dictation, although all units of our
system have willingly become the
servant of the Government in this
emergency.
L venture the prediction that
when this war has ended the dena-
gogue will have lost a large part of
his stock in trade. I can also see
the more adroit enemies of our eco
nomlc system being deprived of
much OF their ammunition.
Schram asserted that the MANY
millions of security holders who sup
Piled capital for the development of
industrial enterprises, along with
other Americans, were impatient
over the evidence which they see of
confusion, inefficiency, timidity, ir-
resolution and lack of co-oroina-
ton.
These security holders of our in
oustr1al companies ask for no spe-
cial consideration" he continued.
but they have a right to expect
equality of treatment. Contrary to
the impression which many people
have, they are not sharing in the
war prosperity. -
Let me say that these millions
OF small security owners of whom !
speak are also entitled-but no more
SO than the rest of the people-to a
prompt and clear definition of tax
policy. There is no reluctance on
their part to meet the tax bill, no
matter how large.
They are naturally disturbed,
however, over the fact that. after
months of delay, they still have no
definite picture of what their tax
obligations are. And they face the
prospect of still further uncertainty
In view OF the fact that the tax
schedules which are now being pre-
pared will soon have to be reWrit-
