Iho Transit Company Refuses the Proposition
Made to Them.
(Dy the Associated PresS.)

St. Louis, Mo, June 16..War to the
knife was the slogan adopted by the Strik-
ing employees of The st. Louis Transit
Company today. This extreme action
was decided this afternoon when the prop
ositiGn adopted by the striking street car
men yesterday looking to a settlement
of the strike was turned down by the
TRANSIT Company. Samuel Gompers, Pres
ident Of the American Federation Of La
Dor announced that negotiations between
the st. Louis Transit Company and the
Union looking to a settlement Of the
strike on the basis proposed by the Union
N mass meeting Friday were off.
This announcement was made at the
conclusion Of q conference between Com
pers, representing the Union. and Presi-
uent Edward Whitaker and Director G..
ID. Mcclure, representing the Transit
Company.
MIR. Whitaker said at the conclusion
Of the conference that he had no state
ment to make.
President Gompers made this statement
regarding the failure to reach an agree
ment:
After three hours and a half discus
sion with President Whitaker l am
sorry to have to announce that the com
ianv has declined to submit the question
u ti' ltih9iiltlliou III Ol the nlCntO 9rtitra-
ton"
President Mahon, OF the international
Association of Amalganated Street Rail
way Employees, when asked what his as
aOciatiOn would do in the premises said.
This is now a fight TO the finish. Pres
dent Gompers told me this afternoon
tilat lie proposes to turn the entire nOwpr
or the American Federation of L,ahor
with its membership Of two million
against the Transit Company. and fight
the issue out if it takes four years to
do it.
THE American Federation Of labor
regards the attitude of the ST. Louis
Transit Company as a direct stab at tho
vital principles of uniOnism.
The boycott to be declared will ann,v
not only to the st. Louis Transit Com
pany, but to every person, every busi-
ness man, every association and in fact
every corporation or individual fayorina
them in any way"
