Wellesley, Rival, Support Strikers

Radcliffe Also Demands Abolition Of Drunks, Requests Higher Wages

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

During the past week approximately 30 Harvard undergraduates, assisted by substantial delegations from Wellesley and Radcliffe, have assisted taxi-strikers in their fight for a raise in wages.

Although the strike was instigated by Harvard men, the co-eds were easily whipped into line with the result that representatives from both colleges are now serving on the picket line.

Cabbles Duties Unconstitutional

Wellesley leads the co-ed picket line with six women in active service. On being questioned, one of the more attractive members of the female contingent charged that "the poor cabbles are ever-burdened with the transportation of Harvard drunks. Something must be done to improve the lot of these poor, set-chauffeuring individuals, and I feel it is up to us Wellesley girls to take the first step in remedying this unconstitutional situation."

One of the Radcliffe pickets on questioning seemed to disagree with her compatriot, claiming that "it is up to us Radcliffe girls to take the first step. We will see to it that the poor cabbies will be able to take care of as girls as well in the future after all we need as much help as some of the Harvard men."
