WILL REScIND ORDER OF BOYCOTT
That Trades Assembly
VIII Call on boycott Against Shen-
ectady Railway.

Schenectady, n. Z. November lit
would seem from tonight's develop
ments that the trades assembly tomor-
row will rescind the order boycotting
the Schenectady Railway Company.
Forty-two out of 305 members OF the
trades assembly have signed a petition
for a meeting. the call expressly stat
ing that the purpose is to rescind the
action taken last Yesterday when the
boycott was declared. The request or
only five Is needed to have Il
meeting called.
President Jackson stated emphaticaIiy
tonight that the meeting would declare
the boycott off. Later, after an exciting
meeting of the boycott committee, he
was not so emphatic saying that 1t was
probable that such action would be
taken. The sentiment of the members
of many of the unions is strongly
against the boycott and It's failure to-
day was marked. At the meeting Of
the boycott committee, the men APP
pointed to watch the cars reported that
about forty per cent. of the union men
employed in the general electric works
had refused to p~atroniZe the cars today.
This is a much larger percentage than
unprecedented observers are inclined to
allow but the leaders in the movement
were discouraged. They explain mat
tiers. however, by saying that many do
not yet know that a boycott exists.
The vote tomorrow night will not
only decide as to the continuance Of the
boycott, but will be a test OF the rela-
tive influence OF the present leaders
and the more conservative
The refusal of the United Traction en-
ployees to take a hand has also had -
share in preventing the boycott from
being a success.
The plumbers union met tonight and
refused to expel the three members who
belonged to the militia The press COM
mittee OF the trades assembly announc-
ed tonight that the assembly would not
stand sponsor for the execution OF Pot
ter by the painters union.
