ewVacation'
For Taxis Seen
As Possibility
Union Head Charges
Latest PUG Order
Violates Truce

Edwin A. Glenn, president of the
United Taxicab Drivers Association.
asserted today that the question Of
whether taxis will come of the
streets in another vacation strike"
is 80 serious I wouldn't guarantee
you anything from one-haH hour to
the next"
A new impasse in the controversy
of new rate regulations ordered by
the Public Utilities Commission fol-
lowed a series of moves yesterday
which Mr.. Glenn termed a viola
ton" of the truce which halted the
taxi strike last Wednesday.
The House District Committee, in
executive session, tossed the rate
questions back to the PUG for fur
ther study. The House committee
had brought about the truce which
permitted drivers to charge either
the new or old rate scale.
In addition, PUG Chairman Greg
ory Hankin announced that the
city's 5000 taxicab drivers would be
asked to inform the commission
which scale of rates they preferred
to use. Those not filing such a
statement by noon tomorrow. Mr..
Hankin said, would be considered
as voting for the new rate schedule.
Method Called Cheap"
Terming this move a cheap
method" of getting a referendum
on the rate issue in a manner which
classes non-voters as favorable to
the commissions new rate plans,
Mr.. Glenn said he is advising all
drivers who inquire not to register
their opinions.
IF the PUG does one thing to
violate the agreement, if they call
taxi drivers one name, if they re-
woke one license. the taxis will come
off the street." Mr.. Glenn said
The order was issued by the COM
mission yesterday to make OF clear
that the commission Gid not want
the drivers to charge either the old
or the new rates, depending on
which was more profitable for the
particular trip.
Drivers wishing to use the old
rates must file with the commission
in writing their intent to DO so. A
special form has been prepared for
this purpose.
Supporters Not to Vote.
Failure to file such notice with
the commission will mean that the
taxicab is being operated under the
new zones and rates.
Any other rates charged between
tomorrow and such time as a subse-
quent order is issued on the matter
will constitute a violation of yes
terday's order. the commission said.
The order permits any driver filing
for the old rates to revoke it in
writing at any time, but no pro-
vision is made for return to the old
after trial of the new after tomor-
row.
Issuance of the order had been
planned By the commission last
Friday after Chairman Hankin
said reports were received that
some drivers we're charging ac-
cording to the schedule most profit
able for each trip. It was held
over. however, pending yesterdays
hearing at the Capitol. at which a
review of the cab rates by the PUG
was agreed to.

Backs Lega|ization
OF Communist Party
Submission of Committee
Report Tomorrow Likely
To Stir Wide Open Debate

Ry the Associated Press.
OTTAWA, July 22.-The Canadian
House of Commons will receive a
committee report tomorrow recon-
mending restoration of the Com
munist party of Canada to legal
status and a Wide-open debate is
expected on the proposal, which
already has caused the designation
of the chairman of the Committee
on Defense of Canada Regulations.
The Communist party, along with
several other organizations, has been
listed as an illegal organization in
Canada since May Is, 1910, and its
secretary, Tim Buck, is liable to
arrest under a warrant held by the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Buck disappeared at the beginning
of the war and his whereabouts is
unknown although letters have been
received from him by various per-
sons.
Debate on the committee report is
not expected until next week when
its acceptance will be asked. The
recommendation was made over the
objection of Fisheries Minister j. E.
Michaud, chairman, who resigned.
H. B. McKinnon, Ontario Liberal,
was named to succeed him and will
present the report, which also
recommends legal status for the
banned organizations of the Inter-
national Bible Students, Jehovah's
Witnesses and the Ukrainian Labor
Farmer Temple Association.
The Communist party has some
$4,000 members in Canada. Approx
imately rs members have been in
termed under defense of Canada
regulations, but their status would
not be involved in Parliament's &C
ton on the recommendation. They
we're interned on the grounds they
had advocated policies threatening
Canadian institutions.
Since Germany invaded Russia
several manifestos over Bucks sigma
ture have called for an all-out war
effort and conscription of wealth and
manpower.
About the time the Communist
party was banned in 1910, the House
was informed that "a organizations
with total membership of 80,730 had
been declared Illegal the Communist
