Mine Workers Still Striking Over Cabs

The local strike by the United Mine Workers District 50 against the Checker Cab Company over the firing of three drivers Monday remained unsettled yesterday.

However, a spokesman for the union said last night that he thought that the company would soon be making overtures. The spokesman said that the owner of the cab company had flown back from Florida and that the company was expected to start negotiations.

The union representative added that there had been no violence in Cambridge and that he did not expect any. He asserted that the trouble in Boston was caused by "goon squads" hired by the American Federation of Labor. The Checker Company meanwhile is using a "few drivers" to continue operating.
