Of the Brotherhood OF Painters, has am
nounced that, at a conference In which
every branch except the motormen, who
are members Of the Brotherhood Of Lo-
comative engineers, was represented, II
was agreed that unless the Inter urban
company granted a conference with the
painters and put them back 10 work by
next Tuesday general strike would be
ordered
Frank Hedley. general superintendent
Of the Inter-urban company, declares
that the painters were not locked out
and that they have no real grievance.
I'VE laid or our painters last Satur-
day." he said, because there was no
work for them at present. The cars we
intended to have renainted we have
obliged TO put Into service on account
OF q heavy rush OF traffic, and as soon
as we can get TO II, probably within 30
days, the painters viii be put back TO
work, These are the exact facts IN the
matter"
Mr.. Archibald insists, however, that
the men were locked out and that 1t
was done for the purpose, OF destroying
their union,
I'VE do not ask for more wages or
shorter hours" said he, but we shall
Insist that General Manager Bryan take
the matter in hand and receive COM
mittee Of our union. II he refuses the
