PHILADELPHIA, December 22
This city is faced with a general transportation “tie up,’’ (as 17,000 taxi drivers and draymen struck early this morning “in defence of the N.R.A.”
They urged the Transit Union to join in stopping the street car and underground lines, as well. The unions have promised to make deliveries of food and coal to the hospitals and the welfare agencies, but have otherwise ordered a complete stoppage of such necessities. The N.R.A. Labour Board, from Washington, made a last minute appeal to the workers to withhold action, but the strike leaders declared that the taxi industry, had defied the N.R.A. Board m the strike negotiations, and Labour had thus nothing to do but to defend 'its rights through a united strike.
