mess-rooms are supplied with newspapers, and some of them possess small libraries.
In the mess-rooms the following rules are displayed:—
- This Shelter is the property of the Cabmen's Shelter Fund and is for the use of CAB-DRIVERS solely.
- The Drivers of the FIRST TWO CABS on the rank are not to enter the Shelter.
- No bad language, card-playing, betting, or gambling allowed.
- The Attendant in charge is authorised to sell Tea, Coffee, and Bread and Butter to the Drivers using Shelter only, at prices as per Tariff.
- The Attendant is instructed to see that the above Rules are strictly kept.
Any complaints as to attendance, quality of refreshments sold, etc., etc., must be made to the Hon. Sec., and will be at once attended to.
The Committee appeal to the good sense and feeling of the Drivers to help in maintaining the respectability of this Shelter, and by every means in their power to prevent its being damaged.
During one of the recent cab strikes an attempt was made at some shelters to prevent non-strikers from using them. This was, of course, in direct opposition to the rules of the Society, and the strikers were taught that the shelters are for all cab-drivers.
