by members of the Central Federated Union
TO get President Belmont of the Interborough
to re-employ the strikers rear end collision
in the subway which tied up traffic and injured
three persons and the ramming of South
Ferry terminal bumper by an elevated train. by
which four passengers were injured.
The conference between President Belmont
and the committee took place late in the after
noon at the Ashland House IN consenting TO
see the committee Mr.. Belmont did not commit
himself any further than TO saying he would
hear what the committee had to say.
The members of the committee were Herman
Robinson. general organizer Of the American
Federation of Labor; James P. Archibald of the
Brotherhood Of Painters James Daily of the
Dock Builders Union; Morris Brown. of the
Cigarmalers' Union, No IA. and A. ]. Boul
ton, of the Stereotypers' Union.
The committee admitted that the strike was
a mistake and said that the rank and file Of
the strikers acknowledged that they mis-
led and were repentant. 1t argued by the
committee that the company. having broken the
strike quickly, could afford to be magnanimous
The public safety ought to be considered, the
committee said, in view of the large number of
collisions and accidents in the subway and on
the elevated roads, due to inexperienced men
VINO nave Deen running trains since the STRIKE
This could be best done by re-employing the
old men. There was no request for recognition
Of the union.
The committee admitted that the strike was
a violation of agreement and that this was
wrong. The conference was friendly. but no
decision was reached. Mr.. Belmont will con-
suit with Mr. Bryan and Mr.. Hedley before he
gives his answer
It was 6th-ave. elevated train that crashed
into the bumper in one of the rush hours. The
injured persons were ]. c. Sheridan, of No. 800
West 12th-st.; Mrs Mary Luro. of Boston; Anna
Lawson. Of Port Richmond. and ]. Decker, of
Stapeton, Staten Island. The first named had
his back injured and the last three suffered
from shock and injured about the wrists
and legs.
All that could be learned OF the accident by
the police was that a green motorman named
Murray lost control Of the train The passen-
gers were thrown into momentary panic.
Three men were injured seriously and a score
slightly in the end collision between a

MIR. BRYAN's STATEMENTS.

"It was not until to-day that we gave
the motormen on the L full control"
'We believe that majority of the acci-
dents was due to tampering with air
brakes by strikers"
'The FIVE hundred men who came here on
the Northam are as good trainmen as
there are in this country"
During the strike and afterward, until
the men got the complete feel of the road,
we were afraid to let them have full con-
troll of the power"
cts great mistake to think that the
new men brought here to meet the strike
conditions were selected at haphazard."
Mr.. Bryan's estimate of trains run now
is 98.S7 per cent.
