Vote on Strike Today

The Taxicab Operators Local 935
(AFL) today characterized as more
stalling" an announcement by the

has under consideration the unions
rate and zone change proposal.
The union called q meeting for

ing on the matter.

November 26, that it was "very COM
lplex" and requires considerable
study to protect interests of the
public as well as cab drivers.
"It's too bad Mr.. Flanagan doesn't
think more of the Washington pub
lie than to inconvenience them over
a very simple matter" Mr.. Glat-
felter commented.
A hearing on an increase in group
riding rates has been. sought since
last April, according to the union.
| Mr.. Flanagan said the commission
would announce its action "as soon
as possible"
The unions rate plan would main
tain prevailing rates for single pas
sengers but apply to this rate a de-
crease Of 10 cents for each zone the
passenger rides in a group.
An increase from $3.50 to $500 an
hour in the hourly rate and a STEP
up from so to rs cents for each Is

sought in addition to a hike in the
10 cent charge for each five min
ute waiting period and the extra fee

Plantation Owners
Forcing Slave Wage
On Cotton Pickers

Washington, D. G. (NNPA)
Cotton plantation owners in
the South, looking forward to
a surplus of farm labor return
ing with the closing down of
war industries and the dis
charge of soldiers from the
armed services, are seeking to
force the Secretary of Agricul-
ture to set a wage ceiling of
So per 100 pounds for cotton
picking, through an undemo-
cratic referendum conducted in
Mississippi, Arkansas and Mis-
souri,, according to H. L. Nit
chell, president of the Southern
Tenant Farmers Union.
Mitchell was in Washington
last week to protest to the De-
partment of Agriculture the vir-
tual peonage such a wage cell
ing would produce for some
100000 farm workers, most of
whom are Negroes.
According to Mitchell, only
producers were eligible to vote
in the referendum. Cotton pick
ers whose wages were to be set
were not permitted to partici-
pate in the voting.
