Taxi Protest Caravan,
Due Here Tonight,
Seeks Parking Space

A taxi caravan of about $50 Chi
cago veterans protesting a city
ordinance limiting the number of
cabs in that city to 5000 wound its
way through Ohio and PENNSYLVANIA
today and was scheduled to arrive
today and planned to drive straight
through to Washington without an
other stop for sleep, hoping to reach
here late tonight.
Arthur Dickholtz, vice president
OF the American Cab Drivers Asso-
citation for Discharged Veterans,
said the caravan which started out
with $50 cabs has grown en- route
and may number 200 when it arrives
IN the District.
The irate veterans plan to put
their case before the Justice De-
partment on the grounds that con-
troll by two cab companies consti-
tutes a monopoly, Mr.. Dickholtz
said. He added that the same
monopoly controls cab operations in
20 cities.
Seeks Parking Space.
He plans to confer this afternoon
with police officials on provisions for
parking the cabs. He said the asso-
citation already has received a per-
NIT for 25-cab parade around the
Capitol. Local police have been
very cooperative" Mr.. Dickholtz
observed.
So far, efforts to find housing for
the veterans and their families have
proved futile, he said, and it is ex-
pected that the majority will sleep
In their cabs.
Edgar Sirles, 26-year-old presi-
dent of the association, declared in
Massillon, Ohio, where the caravan
halted last night, that I'VE are going
to camp in Washington until we get
satisfaction"
Hope to Meet Coxey.
Mr.. Sirles said they hoped to meet
IN washington Gen" Jacob S.
Coxey, 90, who attracted attention
o. years ago when he led a group to
the Capital to bring grievances of
the unemployed to Congress atten-
ton. He attempted to speak from
the steps of the Capitol, was ar
rested and charged with trespassing
Gen" Coxey is in Washington
again today attempting to gain at
tention for his proposals for non
1nterest-bearing Government bonds.
and Mr.. Sirles said the cab drivers
would be willing to have him serve
as their spokesman,
Mr.. Sirles said he had been noti-
ned that additional cab drivers
would join the cavalcade when it
passes through Pennsylvania. Con-
dltions in that State, he said, are
the same as in Chicago
The cab drivers and their wives
and children were housed last night
IN three hotels, tourist homes and
the YMCA.

LIbERIAN LABOR STRIKERS
LIST GRIEVANCES

MONROVIA, Jan. 18 (ANP)-
Liberian workers who walked out
of the offices, from the field, and
the camp of the Raymond Concrete
Pile company and the United States
navy, contractors for the building
of port and harbor at Monrovia,
have long list of grievances.
For long time the attention of
the company either directly or in
directly has been called to the made
quate wage scale paid Liberian en-
ployes but no reaction has ever been
forthcoming. The demands brought
forward are:
1. Revision of wages: the con-
tention in this is that the present
interest is only in the welfare of the
scale of the local clerical and techni-
cal members Of the staff as compar-
ed with Americans and foreigners
from other countries should not ex-

flimsiest pretext without notice,
and sometimes without pay. There
is no way of bringing this to the at
tention of anyone. If he is short
paid and makes enquiry at the pay
office, he is fired and payment of
amount due already worked for
denied him.
These are some of the grounds
for the strike Although the labor
ers are exposed to every imaginable
hazard and risk, the wage scale does
not exceed "a cents per day. Their
work includes working under steel
cranes where one slip would mean
the end of their existence; drilling,
preparing dynamite blasts, etc.
Drivers receive no more than S1.25
per day, and this takes in driving
heavy duty trucks of fifteen and
twenty tons. 1t is reported that af-
ter driving one of these trucks for
three days, a Liberian driver took
sick and vomited black, for this was
his compensation for $1.25 per
diem. The same truck driven by
white employees, the rate paid them
is $2.04 per hour.
In the clerical staff, no Liberian
receives higher than 1925 monthly;
the pay ranges from $25 to S125 and
only two Liberians in the clerical
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1946-01-19

overseas services, and an adjust
ment in that light should be effec-
tive as from the first of December
2. Although the laws of Liberia
provide for 48-hour week, yet Ii
berians are required to put in up to
"a hours week with payment over
time. They are made to work on
Sundays and holidays without any
extra consideration. Americans and
other foreigners employed receive
overtime pay regularly in addition
to their fabulous pay.
3. Medical attention: Under the
present system, local personnel who
sustain injuries only on the job are
entitled to medical attention. In the
case of foreign employe, medical
attention-and the best of that's
given for any complaint except ven-
ereal disease. Although a most mod
ern hospital has been erected on the
camp, yet Liberians are refused en-
trance therein, and must confine
themselves to a ward in one of the
hospitals in the city. Hardly any at
tention is given to the complaints
Of the workers by the company's
doctor, for, being a foreigner, his
interest in only in the welfare of the
foreign personnel. Although it was
suggested to the company for pro-
vision to be made in their hospital
for the African staff.
A. Canteen privileges: All sup
plies from the canteen are imported
into Liberia duty free, but sold only
to white employees. This privilege is
denied African workers although
the contract grants the right to all
the employees of the company. For
eign employees of the company have
the advantage of being exempted
from the payment of visas, permit
Of residence, and duty free on all
goods imported into the country. By
denying canteen privileges to Afri-
can workers, they enjoy another
right of purchasing articles at cost
price, whilst other employees have to
get those articles at a higher price
inclusive of duty charges and the
percentage allowed.
5. No insurance coverage is made
for any African employe. Despite
the hazards entailed in a project
which might result in injury or
death at any moment, no African
worker is insured. They work at
their own risk without the hope of a
tomorrow.
6. A foreign employe driving a
Euclid truck is paid S2.08 an hour,
while Liberian performing the
same task receives $1.25 per day,
and that is the maximum he can re-
ceive at any time. The highest paid
Liberian mechanic receives only
S1.50 per day.
7. The unskilled workers suffer a
greater disadvantage for being il
literate, no one pays attention to
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1946-01-19

staff receive a small margin over
500 monthly. No Liberian tech
nician is paid over $500 although an
imported American timekeeper and
general clerk is started with $500
plus overtime and extra privileges;
a foreign timekeeper's income ex-
ceeds that of qualified local tech
nician.
Liberians welcome concessions
and enterprises into their country
at any time, if it would insure to the
good of the masses. This practice of
giving no protection, or considera-
ton to Liberian labor has been
going on with all foreign concerns
here. At Firestone, where the Lii
berian Wage law is not in operation,
workers are treated like chattels by
their would-be white masters. They
utter their complaints but they al
ways fall on deaf ears. The result is
that although hydro-electric plant
is in operation over the entire Fire
stone area, yet African workers are
denied power therefrom. Although
homes(?) are erected for African
employees, yet the worst foreign
occupied home on the plantations is
immeasureably better than the best
home occupied by an African en-
ploye.

Maryland A Squad,
Keep All HopefuIs

Clark Shaughnessy, back at the

and Old Liners, of three complete
teams each, and from these to draw
on his game players.

no further cuts. Wen have a uni

ing to play football here" said
Shaughessy, "and OF course we'll
move the players up and down as
their ability warrants. Every posi-
ton Is wide open and everybody is
going to have a chance to show me
what he's got"
Shaugbnessy arrived yesterday to
take charge Of the Old Line candi-
dates who have been through three
weeks Of intensive preliminary drill
Ing under AL Heagy, and expressed
himself pleased with the good work
already done. "We have a lot of
good material here" he remarked
but it's the same everywhere. Every
team on everybodys schedule is
better than usual, and some are
downright loaded.
This is going to be year of real
good college football. There's no
such thing as a breather, and If
were better than usual we still will
run into lot of trouble"
Shaughnessy plans to continue
twice-a-day practices with an eve
ming skull session until school opens
on September % and will run the
team through scrimmage sessions as
soon as hot weather abates.

Boss Hamilton Warns
Against Navy BuiIdup
BY the Assoeioied Press

ANNAPOLIS. Md, Sept. TO-
They're not crying in their soup at
the Naval Academy these days over
football prospects, but-says Capt.
Tom Hamilton-"anybody that gives
us a buildup this fall is way of
base"
The Navy head coach and his
squad of SO players had just re-
turned from an unprecedented two
weeks training camp at Martha's
Vineyard, Mass, and ran head-on
into sweltering weather for their
first at-home workouts.
After talking to some Of the
other coaches recently and learning
that they have 30 or so lettermen,
you can't be very optimistic, is
Hamiltons view of things. why
man, we've only got nine lettermen
back"
First thing after the return from
the Vineyard. Hamilton trimmed
his varsity squad to 56 players and
sent the other 80 to the junior
varsity.

With Bill Leetch

The Potomac River was in excel
lent shape over the week end al
though the Monocacy was yellow
and low. Small-mouth black bass
fishing is picking up slowly, and if
another week of dry weather oc-
ours, plus a few cool nights, the
sport should be good. The bass are
a little sluggish at this season, and
usually well fed, so that it takes a
good deal of perseverance and
know-how to take even enough for
a good meal.
Rowboat fishermen ip the Patux-
ent and Severn Rivers and for that
matter in most all waters adjacent
to Chesapeake Bay are reaping a
harvest Of trout, spot, white perch
and small rockfish. Bottom fishing
is becoming excellent all around.
especially in the late afternoon and
evening. If you've never tried fish
ing after dark from a small boat
you should by all means. It is the
best time, cool and quiet, and the
fish seem to bite better at night,
especially in relatively shallow
water. You'll want a lantern and
q fiashlight and don't forget a
sweater or wool shirt and a bottle
of insect-repellant.
