great deal more yesterday about the mud

he said. IF we get the support Of the
unions and work outside of the subway
we NAV succeed. We will not succeed
without such support.
Delegate Quinlan of the Pine Calkers

the prevailing rate of wages. but the union
had agreed that the demand for pay on
the subway at that rate should be held over
till July L.

gard to overtime. He asked that letter
be written to Alderman Gaffney, ex-senator
Featherson and Jack Murphy. brother of
Leader Charles F. Murphy of Tammany,
who are contractors. asking why they had
locked ont their teamsters. The request
was granted before he had time to explain
WHY the teamsters were locked out.
