W1r Vets Clash With Cab Combine

MED Patrick's charge that his or
ganization exacts a tribute of
around $4,000 a month from the
cabs.
.'The organization is for cab
owners only" Daigre said. mo cab
drivers are admitted nor do they fl
nance the organization by taxa

Along with the illegality of jit-
neying, the renting of stand Ii
censes was found also to be illegal
Most of the 240 stand licenses al
loted to the south side area out of a
total of 5000 in the city are con-
trolled by persons connected with
the syndicate, Westbrook charged
in court. The rental on these license
ranges from $40 to SIS per day, he
said.

JoeLouis To Defend His Title In June

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Midst
flashing bulbs and busy telephones,
the biggest publicity campaign in
prizefight history was launched Of
ficially today as heavyweight cham
pion Joe Louis signed ceremonious-
ly to defend his crown in the rings
richest fight next June
Louis-dapper in tan gabardine
topcoat, green sweater and green
shirt, and sporting wee mustachio
signed at Twenty Century head
quarters to defend his title against
Billy Conn or "any suitable oppo-
nent" to be designated by pro-
mator Mike Jacobs.
The Kicker" clause about any
suitable opponent was inserted to
whip Conn of Pittsburgh into line
when Billy-the-kid goes into a hud-
die with Jacobs on Wednesday or
Thursday about dividing receipts of
the classic-receipts that Jacobs
estimates may range between
$3,00O,O00 and $1O,0O0,OOO
Louis signed alone-probably the
first prominent fighter since the
days of Jim Figg to affix his sigma
ture to such an important contract
without the protective presence of
a manager. Neither of the Brown
Bomber's copilots, John Roxbor-
ough and Julian Black, were pres
ent. Only Nanny Seaman, Joe's
trainer, was on hand. When ques-
toned about the absence of his man.
ayers, Louis evaded by talking golf.
The exact site and date for the
heavyweight extravaganza were not
specified in the contract, which
stated that they would be deter
mined by Jacobs "at least 4 days
prior to the scheduled event." The
date is expected to be about June
26. Louis said he would prefer to
fight in Detroit, his home city; but
Jacobs emphasized there were many
factors to be considered before Sc
lecting the site-seating capacity of
the stadium, television prospects.
With tickets for the fight selling
at 500 tops, Jacobs expects the
gate alone to approximate $3,OOO,-
900. The addition of receipts from
radio, movies and television may
boost the total take between ST ,0O0,-
900 and S10,OO0,O0O. Nothing ever
approximated this in previous box
ing history-not even the two Jack
Dempsey-Gene Tunney classic.

CHICAGO, Oct. 16 (ANP).-
Charges of syndicating the South
side taxicab industry here were
made last week by eight World War
II veterans, men who drove cabs
before they were called into the ma
tons armed forces, in a fight to
operate taxicabs without stand IL
censes.
Organized under the Illinois Cab
Drivers Association for Discharged
veterans, the eight men recently
placed their case before Judge JUS
tin E. Mccarthy in traffic court
where their counsel, Atty. Richard
e. Westbrooks, disclosed that 81
charges of violating city taxicab
ordinances were against them.
Backed by John Patrick, presi-
dent of the war veterans organiza-
ton, Atty. Westbrooks threatened
to exhaust all possible legal ave-
nues, even if it means taking the
cases to the u. S. Supreme court.
He characterized the court fight as
AN attempt by the veterans to re-
gain their former jobs after they
returned from the armed services.
That the local taxicab industry
is a big one was revealed some
years ago when the Ivory and Red
Cab association, an owners organi-
zation, was formed by Atty. Joseph
E. Clayton. This all-Negro owned
business, according to one of their
red-colored handbills, has an an
nual payroll in excess of 81 ,O51 ,367
and pays city, state, county and
federal government more than
$156,00O year in taxes. Congress
man William l.. Dawson serves as
general counsel for the powerful
taxicab organization that controls
a fleet of approximately 240 cabs.
Patrick charges that the all
powerful taxicab combine on the
south side is composed of the Ivory
and Red Cab association, the Man
haitian Auto Casualty company and
the city vehicle commissioners Of
flee. These united forces are un-
beatable, he said, and are suffic-
iently powerful to control all taxi
cabs that roll on south side streets,
an area of approximately the size of
Indianapolis.
The war veteran, a former cab
driver and organizer of the cab
drivers strike here on July 10,
1910, admitted that jitneying, the
act of picking up passengers on the
streets like buses and street cars, is
illegal. City officials and lawyers
also admit that jitneying is viola
tion of city ordinance.
"If others engage in the illegal
business, why can't we?' aPtrick
asked.

Ivory and Red Cab association, de-

The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1945-03-09

ORDINARY MEN, HEROES

The news dispatches have brought us
stories of men who have performed amaz-
ing acts of herosm in battle. The majority
of these fellows may not have been spe-
cially conspicuous at home. Such man
may have hoed corn or tended a machine
in some shop, while his associates never
regarded him as exceptional or different
from themselves.
But out in that hell of fighting, he saw
something to be done that involves danger,
and he did it. He may have led his COM
rades up some slope in the face of machine
gun fire, and have captured that position.
SO the common man becomes in few min
utes hero.
The ranks of our service men are full
of fellows who have performed these sur
prising acts in the face of danger. Ordi
nary life turns out a host of men capable of
great deeds in some emergency.
The ordinary humdrum task at home
has certain power of development, if it
is performed faithfully. 1t is likely to de-
velop powers of endurance. which are not
realized by the person himself or those
who see his work.
The man who does every detail of his
work just right, no matter how tired he
may be, is likely in time of danger to do
something fnie and strong The same fl
deity that kept him going at home tells
him to do his duty in the face of danger. He
conquers obstacles that seemed impossible.
We shall greatly admire these grand fell
lows when thew get home
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1945-03-09
SAFEGUARDS OF HONESTY

The remark by a Citizen Photographer
election. regardless of what precautions
we may take, is to have honest election in
spectors, is true, yet the voting machine
gives dishonest inspectors fewer oppor-
tunities to be crooked than does the bal
lot box
Besides, the machine eliminates en-
tirely crooked reading of ballots after they
are cast, for the machine, mechanically
perfect, does it's own reading.
AS every experienced politician in Key
West knows, only two or three precincts
have been used in the past for dishonest
voting Ter years ago, during the scandal
caused by ballot-box stuffing, only one
precinct was concerned, and in the city
election of 1943, crooked balloting occur
red in only two precincts that is, so far as
was charged.
That condition has manifested itself
frequently ever since elections were held
in Key West for the general run of inspec-
tors have been honest, though it has been
evident that when the slippery boys among
the politicians were bent on putting over
certain candidates, they always were able
to find one or two precincts where the ne
fariohs work could be done.
-, But with voting machines in use and
40 ballots to manipulate, no inspectors,
Who are inclined to be crooked, will be
given an opportunity to tamper with ma
chine if watchers are present during the
time the polls are opened. 'Interference"
stunts, that is, shutting off the ballot box
from the view of watchers while crooked
work is done, will be of no consequence in
the case of a machine, for nobody can en-
ter it to pull lever without watchers see
ing him.
An added protection, as The Citizen
pointed out few days ago. will be the
reregistration of voters. No names then of
dead people or of people who are no longer
residents of Key West will then be on the
qualified list, and anyone will think
good many more times than twice in using
the names of voters to essay to play the re-
peater's racket.
