PLEAD FOR OLD RATE. City Examines Books and Finds They Can Make a Reasonable Profit. Firiding themeejves engaged in a loving war against the reduced tazi- | cab tariff adopted by the Board of Aldermen at the instance of The Evening World, and upheld by the courts, the officers of the Yellow Taxicab Company have arranged to consolidate their concern with the Madon-Seaman Transportation Com- pany, and thus form a Taxicab Trust. Behind ‘the formation of the trust, which is being engineered by men) yy, akilled tn engineering monopolies, ts masked a project to nullify The Even- ing World's reduced taxicab tariff, restore the old exorbitant rates and revive the abuse of private stands. The Mason-Seaman Company, a $6,000,000 concern, fought the taxicab ordinance until it had sustained sev- eral defeats in the courts. Then the officers announced that they would obey the ordinance. The Yellow Tax- ‘cab Company has never complied with the new law, but has sought to conduct a private cab business by the @elablishment of many branch gar- ages or storage yards, from which cabs were summoned by telephone. PROFITS CUT DOWN BY FIGHT ON NEW LAW. ‘The additional expense imposed by this system, combined with the Im- proved service given by the Inde- pendent Taxicab Owners’ Associa- tion and other companies operating clean, powerful, licensed cabs from public stands, cut into the profits of the Yellow Taxicab Company. Also the Mason-Seaman Compaay, which had under the old order of things monopolized many private hotel atands by the payment of high rentals to hotel owners, also found its ¢e- cetpts cut down, )W. H.
