Cincinnati. June 'J4. (By A. P.)
Fer thu third successive year, the
American Federation of Laber was
placed en record by the action of its
convention here today against recogni
tion of the Soviet Russian Government.
Firends of the Bolshevik! Government
were beaten decisively, failing te force
a roll call vote en their resolution
favoring recognition. The convention
quickly followed this defeat of the rad
ical forces by adopting the resolution
opposing .recoKiiltien.
Matthew Well, a vice president of the
federation, brought the long argument
ever the Russian question te an end
after it had been before the conven
tion for a part of two days. He de
clared tlie Soviet was a dictatorship,

'Judge' Renshaw Frees Them as
Fast as They Appear
Before Him
ORDINANCE MAY END 'WAR7
Superintendent Mills' order, de
signed te bring about "pence" ln the
operation of tnxlcabs at the Bellcvue
Stratfprd, resulted in a steady proces preces
sion of taxlcab drivers te Central Sta
tion this morning.
One after another th,e tnxl drivers
were brought ln, nnd ns fnst as they
could be heard were discharged and
went back te their stands. At least
thirty were freed by Magistrate Ren
shaw, who said they had broken no
law.
Superintendent Mills en the stand
defended his action, referring te nn
ordinance of 11)111 which he said pro
vides no parking en Bread street, sub
ject te police regulations.
Each cab company nnd an Independ
ent driver had been allowed parking
in irent or tne Jjeiievuc-Mtrntreru, ac
cording te Superintendent Mills orders.
Drivers of one company refused te
obey.
As each driver came, Magistrate
Renshnw asked:
"What Is the charge?"
"Breach of a police order," replied
the patrolman who brought him in.
"What did he de?" the magistrate
queried further.
"He refused te leave the curb when
requested," wns the reply.
"Then why ddn't you nrrest all the
tnx drvers who hnd cnbs at the curb?"
asked the mngstratc, and dfcharged
me (it'ienuuni.
Exactly the same nrnensq urn m.

morning when six independent drivers
were oreugnt Delore hml, nfter their
nrrest at the Reading Terminal.
e.Wh,,le,thp '"wings were going en the
City Ilnu courtyard gave the appear
ance of n garage, with as many ns a
dozen or fifteen cabs parked there.
End of "War" Seen
An end of the taxlcab war, however,
is seen in nn ordinance worked out by
Councilman Limeburucr, chairman of
Council's Committee of Public Safety.
The ordinance provides for licensing
by the city anil a special examination
nnd license for nil drivers. It places
in the Department of Public Safety the
right te designate the places known ns
"hack stands." and regulate the con
duct of cabs in these stands.
A meeting of the Committee en Pub
lic Safety has been called for 2:30
o'clock Wednesday afternoon te con
sider the ordinance.
According te the new "taxlcab" or
dinance every cab must obtain a license
from the city in addition te its certifi
cate of public convenience from the
Public Service Commission.
The ordinance abolishes all public
hack stands heretofore designated and
places In the Department of Public
Safety the right te designate space along
the curb where the cabs may sUtnd.
These limitations are te apply te
railroad stations, public parks and
buildings, hotels, steamship decks und
ferries, restaurants, theatres, subway
and "L" entrances, and the center of
the streets where the street Is mere
than thirty feet wide.
All cubs are te be Inspected by De
partment of Public Safety men when
the licenses are granted. They must be
clean, snfe, lit and free from noise,
have a geed appearance and be well
painted nnd varnished. The meters
are also te lie inspected from time te
time and upon the "complaint of any
citizen.
A rigid eiamlnatien is planned by
the new ordinance for the drivers. They
must pay $1 for their licenses nnd fifty
cents a .war for renewals. The cost
of the cab licenses is net fixed by the
iruitisvii iiriuuaiiL'c.

like that person te come forward
and clear up the case."
This was a statement made today
by Captain of Detectives Souder
after discussing the slaying1 of the
Lawndale youth with Lieutenant
Belsbaw, head of the murder squad.
A theory that Fenimore Cooper Law

he surprised stripping stolen motorcars

The body of Lawrence, a distant kin
of James Fenimore Cooper, the novelist.

The flesh around the right- eye of the
young woodsman and botanist was dis
colored nnd his left temple bore n bruise

Three shots were heard at 7 o'clock
Monday night by Mrs. Jehn Boyd,
whose home is near Shady lane nnd
about half a mile from the point where
Lnw-rence's body was found.
While this was regarded as a clue te
the time of the murder it Is offset te
some extent by the condition of the
body. A revolver with ene cartridge
