CHURCH VOTES 11
COMMANDMENTS
Episcopalians Would Add "Leve
One Anether" te Prayer
Boek
Portland. Ore., Sept. 20. If action
takei by the IIouse of Bishops even
tually is validated, the Protestant Epis
copal Church will have eleven Instead
of ten commandments in it prayer
book. The bishops voted in general
convention here te add n "new com
mandment," that embracing Christ's
admonition te -love etic another." It
was said this will be printed with the
Ten Commandments. The text adopted
is this:
"Again He said. 'A new command
ment I give you, that ye leve me as I
have loved you, that ye also love one
another.' "
Turkish brutalities in the Near ICust
were condemned in a resolution offered
by William T. Manning, nishep of
New Yerk, and unnnimeusly adopted
by the Heuse of Bishops. The sig
nificant feature of the resolution was
that it pledged the support of the Epis
copal Church te the Government of the
United States "in- any effort, diplo
matic, naval or military, that may be
made toward the establishment of jus
tlce, . mercy nnd peace In the Near
Kant." A similar resolution in the
Heuse of Deputies was placed upon the
calendar. .
The Bishops amended the action of
the Heuse of Deputies by requiring that
where baptism is administered by lay
men In an emergency such laymen must
themselves have been baptized.
Beth houses have agreed te eliminate
the rubric forbidding the saying of the
burial office in case of the unbapttzed
and suicides. The prevision new finally
removed' has been in the prayer book
since the sixteenth century.
Women will be licensed te serve as
lay readers in the. Church and will be
permitted te make addresses and read
nermens wearing a cassock and sur
plice. A sharp debate ensued en tbe amend
ment te the constitution, which would
permit BIMieps te ordain ministers of
ether churches without requiring them
te be confirmed and te make the premise
of conformity te the doctrine, discipline
and worship of the Episcopal Church.
That amendment would govern the pro
posed concordat with congregational
ministers. Vete wns taken by dioceses
and orders, and the amendment was
adopted by n, constitutional majority.
The Heu&e of Bishops having alto ap
proved . the nraendatat bow' it inally

Exclusive Philadelphia Distributors of Hart, Schaffner & Marx Clethes
Again Trying te Strangle
Competition and Make
Yeu Pay the Bill!
t
"Small Town Stuff!"
On July 6th, an Ordinance, suppos
edly te regulate the cab business was placed
before City Council. This Ordinance contained a "Jeker"
which would enable property owners at congested '
traffic points, such as railroad stations and hotels, te.
sell te certain cab operators the use of the city streets,
The purpose was te compel' you te use the cab of the
company which had bought the privilege and no ether.
YELLOW CAB CO. squarely set forth its
position in paid advertisements in all Philadelphia
Newspapers under the caption "The Shee is Pinching
the Taxi-cab Trust," and we said.
"If any competitor of YELLOW "CAB CO.
wants your business, why net come out in the Open
and fight for it? Why net lower rates? Why net
improve, its service?" 7
The Public knows what happened hew the
Ordinance was withdrawn and placed back in commit
tee. Then came the se-called "Taxicab War." Yeu
read in the papers hew taxi-cabs were dashing madly
for certain positions at favored stands, bumping com
petitors out of the way.,
This, then was the Taxi Trust's answer te our
invitation te come out and fight for your business in
the open. But they fought net by Lowering Rates
net by improving their service but byXawless Methods 1
YELLOW CAB CO. again went before the
public with an advertisement headed" We Stand for Law
and Order." We told you that every YELLOW CAB
driver had been instructed te obey without question the
orders of the Police Department. Nearly two hundred
cab drivers were arrested for disobeying police orders
but net one YELLOW CABMriVa. Yeu can
draw your own conclusions.
Fer many years Philadelphia was the only
large American city utterly lacking in-real taxicab serv
ice. Cabs were filthy, Rates were exorbitant.
Chauffeurs were indifferent and discourteous. The
number of cabs was wholly inadequate. New Yerk
had 12,000 taxicabs; Chicago 6,000; Philadelphia only
a few hundred.
YELLOW CAB CO. en March 21, 1921, set
out te remedy this condition. We began with only 26
cabs ; but these cabs were clean and driven by courteous,
decent chauffeurs. We reduced the prevailing rates
25 per cent and have since made three Rate Reductions.
The Public appreciated our effort We have
been compelled by growing patronage te operate mere
and mere cabs until today we have in service 232,
mere than any company ever operated 'in Philadelphia,
When we began te give you real taxicab serv
ice, competitors had contracts with certain hotels and
railroads giving them the exclusive right te solicit
business en the city streets in front of their properties.
iWe insisted that the streets belong te the publicand
that it was our privilege te offer YELLOW CAB
service at every" point where cabs are needed. The
Police Department realized the justice of this position
and established cab stand regulations treating all cab
operators alike.
This was the straw that broke the Monopoly's
backl Hence the re-appearance of the Ordinance in an
effort te restore Monopoly, and make you pay the bill.
This is "Small Town Stuff 'net worthy of
Philadelphia. New Yerk, Chicago and all ether large
cities have encouraged the improvement of taxicab
facilities by maintaining open cab stands everywhere.
The Taxi-cab Trust is net willing te seek your
business in open competition. It is afraid! It prefers
te hide behind a Monopoly Ordinance and attempt te
club you into its cabs.
Why net be modern? Why net employ legit
imate business methods? Why net give you Better
Service, Mere Courteous Chauffeurs, Lewer Rates?

YELLOW CAB CO. believes in getting your
business by giving you the BEST SERVICE at the
LOWEST RATES. .Net Jy Monopoly! Net W
Cempujsiqn! "
