YELLOW DRIVERS Workers Are Dissatisfied with Conditions NEW YORK, April 21.—That the unionizing of the open shop Yellow Taxi corporation, which is run by a relative of Mayor Hylan is possible, if attempted seriously, is the opinion of many of the workers of that com- pany. The Yellow Taxi corporation, which has over 3,000 chauffeurs on its pay- roll is the lowest paying company in the city. Its men only receive 331-3 per cent of their bookings, while those who work for the independent taxis receive at least 40 per cent. The Union Broke Up. Two years ago the Brotherhood of Taxi Chauffeurs, an independent un- ion, organized all the drivers except those working for the Yellow Taxi corporation, Before the strike they had received 831-3 per cent, but due to their victory they raised it to 40 per cent. Later the union broke up, due to the inefficiency and lack of or- ganizational experience on the part of its leaders. Neither the Brotherhood of Taxi Chauffeurs, or the International Broth- erhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs’ and Helpers’ Union, has ever made a seri- ous attempt to organize the Yellow Taxi corporation in spite of the fact that the men are only waiting for someone to take the lead. Hylan’s Favored Darling. The Yellow Taxi corporation which is the favored darling of the Hylan administration, has all the vanta points thruout the city, is so far as stands are concerned, including the railroad depots, leading hotels, base- ball grounds, ete. The chauffeurs of the Yellow Taxi corporation must work these stands, while the others cruise along any part of the city. At the Union Square stand, of the Yellow Taxi corporation, 14 out of the 15 drivers wanted to know when the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs’ and Helpers’ Union was going to organize them. When interviewing the chauffeurs at the Astor Hotel stand, at 45th St. and Broadway, in the midst of the theatrical district, beween 10 and 11 o’clock, just prior to the home going theater rush, about 45 out of the 60 present, stated that they wanted to be organized into the union. ‘When the day men were going home from the 49th St. and First Ave. gar- age of the Yellow Taxi corporation, one of them said the following: “Well, its about time that those organizers did come down here. Conditions here are terrible. Men aren’t making a liv- ing. The sentiment is strong for a union.” Has Waited Three Years. At 60th St. near First Ave., whe they have two garages, one chauffeur said: “I’ve been a driver and a stock- holder in this company for over three years, and I'm a member of the union at the present time, and I’ve waited for three years for help in organizing the men. I’m willing to do my share, but I don’t receive any co-operation from the union officials.” At the Waldort Hotel stand, 34th St. and Fifth Ave., a new driver had the following story to tell: “This company (the Yellow Taxi corpora- tion) broke me in, helped me get my license, and promised that my com- mission and tips would average about $50.00 a week. But try and get it! {'m damned lucky if I can make $28 to $30 and believe me, I have to work darn hard to make that much.” Men in Receptive Mood, The men are in a receptive mood for organization, and the next step is up to the union officials, who have 4 fertile fleld for work, The workers on the job are willing to do their share.

Great stress was laid on the fact that a good deal of the expulsion policy is due to the open shoppers and employers who have failed in their attempt at the open shop scheme, are + now resorting to control the unions on the class collaboration plan.
