Checker cabs returned to the Square in full force this morning for the first time in five days. The strike, which was due to the firing of three drivers by the Checker company, also served as a test to determine whether the American Federation of Labor, or the United Mine Workers should represent the cabbies in disputes.
Although the three men were not rehired, and won't be, a U.M.W. spokesman stated that the strike had served its purpose, because the drivers "showed a determination to rid themselves of the A.F. of L., and be represented by the District 50, U.M.W."
Checker president Frank Sawyer last night termed the strike "ill-conceived and unwarranted," but added that he held "no grudge against the drivers, who were misled by District 50, and they are welcome back to work."
