Ask for Recognition Of Union,
Shorter Hours and Bet
ter Pay.
STRIKE is IN COMPLIANCE WITH
ORDERS FROM UNION HEAD
QUARTERS AND Is GENERAL
WHERE BELL COMPANY oPER-
ATEs-sTATEMENTs OF oPPos-
ING FORCES.

In compliance with orders from
headquarters of their union in Allan
ia, the linemen employed here by the
Bell Telephone Company went out on
a striketyesterday morning. The strike
of the linemen is general through
out the states where the Bell Com
pany does business, and is for a rec
Ognition of the union, better pay and
shorter hours.
Eight of the nine men employed
here by the Bell company quit work
yesterday morning. The men in Pen
sacola are under the Jurisdiction OF
the Mobile union. inasmuch as there
is no local union in this city. Or
ders were received by the men from
Mobile telling them to discontinue
work, unless the demands made by
the linemen were granted by the com
pany.
Manager Bache of the Bell Com
pany was seen in reference to the mat
ter yesterday. He stated that he did
not believe the men knew why they
we're striking. He stated that no of
fetal communication had been given
him making any demands. He stat
ed that the men came around as usual
about Z o'clock yesterday morning
but did not go to work They re-
manned until about 10 o'clock, when
he states that he requested them to
go to work Il told the men that l
did not want them to quit work, and
that they had given me no official no.
tice that there was any misundeT-
standing" said Mr. Bache. Finally
l was compelled to tell them that they
must either go to work or quit, and
they quit. We have always tried to
treat our employees with every cour-
tesy."
Mr. Bache said that all the men who
worked for the company were union
men. He said that the foreman. a
man named Montgomery. always EN-
ployed union men whenever possible.
as he believed them the best and ne
desired proficient linemen.
Linemen's Statement.
This question has been under way
for some time" said A. Snyder, one
of the striking linemen. I'VE ask for
a recognition of the union and better
pay and shorter hours. The company
offered to raise first-class linemen to
500 per day in towns of 1000 or
over, but refused to make the agree
ment binding in towns of smaller pop
ulation. The union knows no class
or distinction. Whe We quit we were
getting $3.50 per day and apprentices
from $1.25 up, some going as high as
81 and 1920. There were four jour
neymen and three apprentices work
ing for the Bel Company.
Foreman Montgomery notified us
that if We continued work, that we
would receive 500 per day, but added
that the union would not be recogniz-
ed, and that the scale for apprentice
would be fixed at 81 and upward
"Of course without a recognition OF.
the union We could not accept the.
offer had we desired. We were order
ed out, pending a settlement of the
trouble Our orders come from Mo-
bile, under whose jurisdiction we.
work
I'VE intend to conduct this strike
in an orderly and dignified manner and
anticipate no trouble whatever"
Mr.. Bache paid high tribute 70 The
men out on strike. by stating that all
were sober and honest wOrkmen.

COERCION ACT ILLEGAL
Firms Nay Eract Pledge Not to

The Appellate Division decided yesterday in
favor of the defendant IN the case Of the people
against Harry Marcus. who was convicted of
coercing Hyman steinbaum to enter into writ
ten agreement With the H. Marcus Shirt Com
pany not TO become a member Of any labor or
SANITATION as a condition of obtaining employ
,1ent with that concern. The court orders the
discharge of the defendant. Justice Laughlin
wrote the opinion Presiding Justice OBrien and
Justices Patterson and Ingraham concurring.
The court holds that the section of the Penal
Code under which Marcus was convicted. de-
claring that such act is misdemeanor. IS un-
It has always been supposed, and the decisions
SO holding are numerous, that an employer, SO
long as the contract does not affect the public
health morals or welfare. is at liberty to en-
pIoy or discharge whomsoever he pleases, and TO
refuse TO employ any person without becoming
answerable therefor except for breach or con-
tract for an unjustihable discharge or an en-
ploye; and likewise that an individual may ac-
cent or refuse any employment that he chooses.
or Quit work at will, and that his reason there
for cannot be questioned, and he tncurs thereby
only liability for breach of contract II ne quits
in violation OF his contract
Justice Iaughlin cites many cases and con-
cludes as follows:
II may be that the legislature, under its re-
served power TO alter, amend and repeal the
charters Of corporations and general laws under
which they are formed, might declare 1t unlawful
