office. of order: Frank Beckwith, North Side and Apex taxicab com- ' panies, admits that approximately +150 bootleg taxicabs are cruising ' the city streets. This situation has developed, he claims, because of * inability to get franchises, He contends that his companies, for example, have a prior ¢laim to 20 franchises. These, he believes, have been granted to other persons. " Red Cab Leads An examination of records In City Controller Roy Hickman's . office shows that Red Cab holds 272 of the 480 licenses; United Cab + has 103; Yellow, 21; City Cab, 6. "No less confusing is the legal picture. An original basic taxicab law passed by city council in 1935 was amended in 1936, 1942 and 1943, In 1038, city council said the ‘safety board was to investigate applicants for taxicab licenses, subject to city council approval, Actual license was to be issued by city controller. Law Changed Again In 1042, the total number of cabs authorized was raised to 420, with the provision that at least .20 of this number be granted to Negro operators. The following year, an amend. ment authorized the city controller to grant or refuse franchise accord. ing to conditions fixed by the safety board. No mention was made of city council approval. The situation finds 16 franchises left of the total number authorized, North Side has made an applica‘tion ‘for an unspecified number. Apex has not applied yet, records

BIG 5 STALLED OVER BALKANS

Observers Expect Issue Will Be Postponed.

LONDON, Sept. 20 (U. P).—~ Hopes of ending the Balkan dead lock at the current Big Five con« ference faded today. The foreign ministers conferred again until a late hour this afternoon with little apparent success. Inforced observers looked for ade

journment Monday or Tuesday without agreement on peace treaties for southeast Europe. Only an 11th hour concession by Russia or France can reopen the Balkan talks, informants said, Rus« sia insists that France and China be excluded from the treaty talks, China is willing, but France ree fuses. British Foreign Secretary Emest Bevin gave the tipoff on the stale. mate last night in addressing a political meeting in Wandsworth. Protocol Problem

“It is better to adjourn for consideration than to quarrel” he sald. British diplomatic correspondents were told to expect the conference to break up Monday or Tuesday with the final meetings devoted to the ticklish problem of agreeing on protocol and the wording of the final communique, These tasks already were before the foreign ministers’ ceuncil for today's session, but their completion easily may take several days inasmuch as agreements must be reachéd unanimously.

activity in the nation’s largest city since Monday. Accepts Suggestion

Sullivan telegraphed Dewey that the union’s executive board had accepted his suggestion for appointment of an arbitrator and would call immediately upon all members to return to work when advised fhat owner representatives also had accepted the proposal. He was informed that Arthur Gordon Merritt, attorney for the owners, already had accepted the governor's proposal. The prospective termination of the crippling elevator strike which virtually paralyzed the cty's commercial activity and cost garment workers and manufacturers more than $50,000,000 came within a few hours after Dewey stepped into the dispute. The decision to return to work came also a few minutes before noon—the time Dewey had set for an answer to his suggestion that an arbitrator be appointed to settle the wage and hour dispute between the union and employers,

Dewey Informed

Dewey had been informed by telephone within a few minutes after the decision by the union and owners. Meanwhile, secretary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach was re<iported to have asked major ofl companies and the CO. I. O. Oil Workers union to settlé their dispute as quickly as possible for the safety and welfare-of the nation and its military position: Schwellenbach, faced with a twin problem of bringing quick peace to coal and oil elds to assure the winter fuel supply of the nation, heard brief summations by both sides at the opening of the oil conference in Washington, He said the conference, which was moved from Chicago earlier this week, is the “most important meeting in the world today.” Lewis Insistent United Mine Workers Chief John L. Lewis renewed his demand for a conference with coal operators to end the dispute over recognition of supervisory mine employees. Lewis telegraphed Ezra Van Horn, Cleveland, operators representative and chairman of the national bituminous negotiating committee: “I fear greatly that your insolent attitude will have a highly provocative effect on the minds of your disappointed foremen and supervisors,” Lewis said. “We deplore these circumstances and again ask you to join us in a calm approach in joint conference to a solution of the controversy.”

In his telegram Lewis accused Van Horn of “many misstatements” in the operators’ message refusing the union's first conference invitation. He said that the “so-called loyal managers and technicians” were weary of the operators” persistent denial of thelr rights and studied abuse by many coal companies” and that consequently they were “quitting work.” The U. M. W, head continued that because the mines were not inspectLed according to law, the mine works fers. “cannot, legally work.” “The responsibility for this condition, Lewis told Van Horn, “is clearly your own.”

Westinghouse Row Ends

At Pittsburgh, Leo F. Bollens, {president of a striking white collar union at Westinghouse Electric Corp.. was confident today that the 11,000 workers will return to their Jobs Monday pending resumption of negotiations with the company. The union reached agreement last night looking toward settlement of the three-week walkout, which has

Put Blockade

and cut off Westinghouse production estimated at $5,500,000 a week. The agreement must be approved in special meetings by the members of Bollens’ Federation of Westinghouse Independent Salaried Unions. “I am ‘sure they will vote to return to work,” Bollens said. “We feel we have gotten what we struck for.” The strike, which began Sept. 10, resulted from the {federation’s demand for bonus payments to salaried workers similar to those of hourly-pald employees. At East Alton, Ill, picket lines would not permit time keepers and accountants to enter the Western Cartridge Co. plant here ‘with the result that 5000 men can't get their pay checks, officials of the firm said today. It was reported that C. I, O. President Philip Murray would not permit the oil workers union to accept

any compromise on their demand

for a 30 per cent wage increase for fear of weakening the national C. I, O. drive for similar increases in the automobile, steel, rubber, meat packing and electrical manufacturing industries. Labor strife in the automotive industry, which has idled 80,000 workers in Detroit alone, seemed no nearer solution. Strikers at the Kelsey-Hayes Wheel Co. booed top union officers last night and left a mass meeting without making a decision whether to return to their Jobs, Bows to Lumber Strikers In the Pacific northwest lumber area, the Siler Mills Co, of Seattle was the first to capitulate to union demands for a $1.10 minimum wage. The company, bowing to a six-day-old A. F. of L. lumber workers walkout, announced a new wage scale last night, raising the basic pay from 75 cents to $1.10. Employees of the Toledo, Peoria and Western railroad voted to leave their jobs Monday, when the gov ernment, is scheduled to return the seized road to private management. Along the eastern seaboard, 68,000 dye workers ignored a back-to-work order from the national union. Workers were out in New Jersey, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Virginia, North and South «Carolina plants. They asked a 15 cents an hour wage increase,

could resume distribution of the suppressed editions at 1:30 p. m.

Government May Quit

MacArthur's rebuff heightened speculation that Premier Prince

ment soon may be forced to resign. Today's edition of the English~ language Nippon Times attacked the government for its “misjudgment and incompetence” during the past few days. “The general public is far in ad-

| vance of government leaders in un-

derstanding what the nation must do at this time,” the editorial said. MacArthur's anti-censorship directive actually was drafted Thursday, but was not announced until after the government's suspension of the three Tokyo newspapers. Lt. Gen. Richard K. Sutherland, chief of staff to MacArthur, said the occupation commander's order completed the machinery for establishment of a free press in Japan.

Ends Other Censorship

MacArthur's order also directed the government to end censorship of mall, telegrams, radio broadcasts, transoceanic telephone calls, cables, internal telephones and motion pictures, “Only such restrictions As specifically approved by the supreme commander will be permitted,” the order said. It also provided that: 1. The power of the government to revoke permission to publish, to arrest without prior approval of the supreme commander, to-impose fines on publications and to curtail paper supplies as punishment for editorial comment shall not be exercised. 2. Compulsory organizations of publishers and writers will’ be discontinued and voluntary organizations will be encouraged. 3. No press bans will be issued by any government agency and no pressure, direct or indirect, will be exerted on any medium to compel it to-conform to any editorial policy. No Imperial Objection The ban on the three newspapers had been ordered by the Japanese home ministry despite the fact that the imperial household ministry said it had no objections to publication of the interviews. T. Urabe, secretary of the Japanese board. of information, said the board had no objection. to the Baillie interview, but .almost unanimously opposed local publication of the Kluckhehn interview. He said Kluckhohn's . dispatch made it appear that Hirohito had accused former Premier Gen. Hideki Tojo of misusing the imperial war rescript at the time of Pear] Harbor. In fairness to Kluckhohon, he said, Baillle’s interview also was banned. “It is, traditional,” Urabe said, that the emperor never accuses any individual personally. Wheén public accusation is necessary, the task falls to the prime minister and other public officials. “The emperor is above making such accusations. The board believes the Japanese people might think the emperor himself accused Tojo. This might have led to publice disturbances.”

Presents ‘Exact’ Copy

Urabe produced what he said was an exact copy of the written ques tions and answers in the Kluckhohn interview, The disputed question was phrased: “Was it his majesty’s Intention that the war rescript should be used as Gen. Tojo used it?” Hirohito’s reply was: “As to strategic details of the war, such as disposition of military and naval forces and the time, place and manner of the attack, the emperor was not generally consulted, these being decided almost exclusively by the high command. “At any rate, it was his majesty’s intention to issue a formal declaration of war before the commencement of hostilities.” (Kluckhohn’s interview, .as published in the New York Times of Sept. 2), sald Hirohito “asserted he had no intention o having his war rescript employed as former Premier Hideki Tojo used it when Japan launched her sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. He sald that he expected Tojo to declare war in the usual, formal manner, if necessary.”) Ordered Repeal Sept. 24 The law under which the home ministry acted was among those which MacArthur had ordered repealed in his Sept. 24 directive to the Japanese government, but on which action had not been taken. Only 24 hours earlier, Japanese police halted sales of the newspaper Tokyo Shimbun containing a large photograph of Hirohito and MacArthur standing together in the American embassy. The homé office's censorship department explained that the edition was banned because the photograph was an “unclear print.”
