[FRoM THE TRIBUNE BuREAU.l

Washington, March 13.-Charges rejecting on
the integrity of individuals connected with the
subway and elevated road strike In Network
were filed to-day with President Samuel Com
pers of the American Federation of Labor Ac-
cording to the allegations, the strike was engi-
neered for the sole purpose of being broken The
officials of the union, it is declared received or
expected to receive a large reward for making
the strike.
President Gompers refuses to make public
the name of the person who filed the charges
Il will produce the letter. said he to-day
whenever it becomes necessary. In the mean
time I am investigating the charges made by
the. author"
Mr.. Gompers will probably make a journey to
New-York in quest of evidence to bear out or
contradict the charges AS the union is no
longer affiliated with the American Federation
OF Labor. having been expelled for irregularity
by the national association. it is pointed out
that Mr. Gompers has no authority to take ac-
ton. If he should learn that the strike leaders
played their fellow members false he could not
proceed against them officially, for they are no
longer under his jurisdiction.
1t is said, however that the labor president
entertains the hope that if the allegations are
true he can obtain evidence to justify him in
proceeding either civilly criminally against
the men responsible.
Circulars declaring that August Belmont had
engineered and executed the Interborough strike
were distributed last night at meeting in the
strikers headquarters in Marion Hail. They
were the work of who said ne L. s.

them into strike, at the very hour at which
he should be ready, with thousands of strike

Ihere was but one body to which this little
difference that Mr.. Belmont was having with

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Some time ago report was circulated that

that have intention of selling the Deutsch-

to dispose of this ship. which holds the record for

Between the second and third of the

tion Brooklyn, jumped on the step there, and
like the roundsman. held the second woman on.
Subway trains stalled above and below
Bleecker-st at 5:30 o'clock on the local and ex-
press tracks. 1t was said that the press of peo-
pie at the stations above had been such that
the gates could not be closed; that signals had
been misunderstood and that the slow entering
and leaving of stations largely responsible
for the delay.
After the first block at Beecker-st. had been
broken traffic fairly well for half an hour.
Then came another block for similar reasons
with the conditions worse. as the crowds were
greater. Stations at 42d-st 23d-st.. 14th-st. and
Times Square were damned.
Old employees piloted the eight expresses
while the five trains were handled by the
green men.
It was said that the electricians had altered
the controller boxes so that not more than three

safety.
