their North St. Asaph street stand.
Alexandria yellow Cab drivers today
operated their cabs as usual, al
though the stand was closed at noon
yesterday. They received calls from
the main office by telephoning In

The closing of the stand yesterday
came after months of controversy,
during which several extensions
were given to operate the stand
after the permit was revoked by the
City Council January H.
The official closing of the stand
May brought two-day strike and
resulted in another extension by
the Traffic Board because the ILL

ton for decentralized two-cab
stands.
Unsuccessful in their attempts to
secure permission of property own
ers on the block to retain the st.
Asaph street stand, the drivers will
operate on a temporary basis, using
their present office until permanent
arrangements can be made.

ing of the Traffic Board Frans

as soon as the board approves loca-

Is Effective Monday
BY the Associated Press.


BALTIMORE, May 9.-War Man
power Commission regulations plac-
ing a ceiling on the number Of
workers an individual employer may
hire will become effective Monday
in the Baltimore area.
Grafton L. Brown, assistant State
VINO director, said the regulation
would tend to force workers from
nonessential to essential jobs and
would allow the Federal agency to
weed out" employees of overstaffed
plants and take away workers from
plants not making efficient use of
personnel
IF essential industries were in
dire need of men, we could lower
the labor ceilings on nonessential
industries and the excess labor
would be forced to take higher pri-
ority jobs" he explained
In the past a worker who was
given certificate of availability by
his empyorer could seek new work
in any war plant he chose. After
Monday, he will have to take his
availability certificate to the United
States Employment Service, where
he will be directed to the plant
which has the greatest need for his
particular skill.
The labor ceilings. pending re-
ductions or increases for individual
concerns, will be based on the high
est level of employment at each
plant between April Is and May l.
