|Taxicab WaIkoui Ends
By Order From Head
OF Teamsfers' Council

The 39-hour walkout by an esti-
mated 1,750 AFL cab drivers here
ended at o'clock last night at the
order of Robert Lester, president of
the parent organization, the Team
sters Joint Council.
The drivers union was stirred to
action at $50 o'clock last night by
an earlier announcement by Mr..
Lester that his executive board had
instructed members of Local Union
935 to return to work" after inves-
tigating the walkout, which started
Iat 6 am. Monday. >
Immediately on receiving word Of
the Lester statement, official of the
Taxicab Operators, Drivers and Ca
rage Employees local called a closed
meeting at union headquarters, 800
NJ street NE, and the men voted
to lend their demonstration Of
strength"
The strike had been called in pro-
test against the failure of the Public
Utilities Commission to hold hear
ings on union-proposed revisions in
rates and zones.
Police Alerted for Violence.
The order ending the holiday
came as special police details roamed
the streets to prevent further vio-
lence which famed yesterday with
threats and damage to working cabs
by unidentified gangs
In ordering termination Of the
walkout, Mr.. Lester said his union
acted in the belief it was "in the
best interests of everybody for the
strike to end. The holiday impaired
but did not halt service The union
represents less than one third of the
city's approximately 5000 drivers.
Meanwhile, John Peters, presi-
dent of independent United Taxi
cab Drivers, Inc, which opposed
the walkout, lashed out at James
H. Flanagan, chairman of the PUG,
demanding his removal from office
because he assumes an arbitrary
and unjudicial attitude"
Flanagan Maintains Stand.
Several hours before the return
to-work order was issued Mr.. Flan-
agan said the return of the men
to their cabs would not necessarily
result in further PUG action, since
the agency's answer to the unions
petition for hearing had been
given long ago. Previously, Mr..
Flanagan declared present zones
and rates are fair and reasonable"
Mr.. Lester said the teamsters'
executive council had decided that
pressure brought to bear on the PUG
by the strength demonstration" was
putting the commission in a position
where it might not do anything for
! the union.
1T does not seem good policy"
I Mr.. Lester declared, TO take public
officials and stand them in a corner.
The teamsters will do what they can
to get hearing after the drivers
return to work"
Police are still following leads
which may bring them to apprehen-
sion of the persons responsible for
overturning the taxicab owned by
E. Erwin Dollar, 43. of 6406 Eighth
street NV, early yesterday. Mr..
Dollar, secretary Of the Washington
Taxicab Advisory Council-an indie
pendent nouunion group which op-
posed the Strike-told police he saw
two cabs, filled with about 10 men,
pull away from the front of his
house Immediately after the vehicle
was damaged

Free Enterprise On Trial
(Rocky Mountain NeWS)

trol is being hailed victory for the freeenteprlSe system. And so, we think, 1t is
 But that system has a battle, not the
 The war will be only if, and when, free enter prise proves to the American people that 1t and will, serve them better than government planning and management of the economy
 The opportunity for proof is coming and more fully than seemed possible until the last few weeks and it had better not be mued If it is lost this time, it may not come again.
 In the next few weeks, we believe enterprise will be given freedom than has had for many years We welcome that prospect But freedom also has price, and an obligation The time is when business no longer and easily can blame the government when things go wrong Increasingly, from now on if things go wrong, business will be blamed. Since MT. Truman ended meat controls we have talked with good many plain citiZens-among them taxi driver, elevator man, an apartment anitor cook, restaurant waiter, telephone operator
 Most of them approved the Presidents decision. The meat famine had confirmed their suspicion that OPAI doing harm than good. They expected meat prices to rise sharply for while. But they voiced touching faith that forces of which they had heard read-conpettion and the law of supply and demand-I would bring them down again. We say that any businessman who knowingly does anything to betray such faith among such people is al traitor to the free-enterprise system. That goes whether he heads great corporation runs neghborhood store raises livestock And it is truer than before.
 For free enterprise has not won final vindcation I has only been granted trial. meat prces any, prices stay higher longer than they clearly justified in staying, the public easily and will forget that meat disappeared under OPA ceilings and remember only that government tried to hold the prices down
 Free enterprise faces its trial under condtonsI still, in many respects, adverse Infationary pressures remain strong Shortages will continue interfere with normal operation of supply and demand, and tempt chiselers and profiteers.
 Future wages uncertain quantity. And indus try business and agriculture have every right and duty to fair profits, if they can.
 But the trial here and free enterprise has asked for it. The least that any enterprser do safely and hon. Orably is to seek unfair profit to charge sary high price, to practice vigorous and honest petition to take selfish advantages of the withdrawal of government controls.
 Almost everywhere else in the world the trend still toward more and more government management of ec- onomc life That trend carries with grave threat to- political and all other freedoms.
 In America free enterprise is getting another chance to prove it's superior worth It will be tragedy it may be calamity if through sefishness greed lack of vision, this chance is thrown away.
