The Tieing Up of Freight Traffic
Threatened II Demands Of
Trainnlen Were Refused.
STATEN ISLAND RI. INCLUDED
Ultimatum Delivered by Acting Head
of Brotherhood of Trainmen OF All
the Railroads Concerned and Even
the Pennsylvania, Which Had
Hitherto Apparently Escaped, Is
Brought Into Trouble for Today.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22:-James
Murdock, fourth vice grand master
of the Brotherhood of Railway Fire.
men, who issued the ultimatum Civ
ing until noon today to the roads to
grant in full the five-cent increase de-
manded by the yardmen, said last
night that unless the increase was
made the strike would go into effect
today.
An ultimatup similar in every way
to that issued bn Thursday was de
livered yesterday to the general man
ager of the Pennsylvania railroad,
which up to that time had not been
included in the negotiations, as the
officials of the road said they had
effected a settlement with their en-
ployes on the basis that they would
grant whatever increase was granted
by the other roads. The Pennsyl-
vania at the last moment offered four
cents increase, which the men refused
TO accept as settlement.
Murdoch said that the coming to
this city of Grand Master Morrissey
of the brotherhood would have alb
solutely no effect on the situation
The managers of all the roads in
volved, after they had received the
ultimatum of the men, sent an ur-
gent message to Morrssey on Thurs
day night, asking him to come here
and hold a conference with them
! They hoped that the chief of the
trainmen, even at the eleventh hour
could avert strike by causing the
yardmen to accept lower rate than
they had named.
Realize Gravity of Situation.
The railroad officials admitted tha
the situation was undoubtedly acute
though they still declined to admit
that they would give in to their EN-
ployes in the slightest particular
They evidently had come to the con
clusion that the men meant what
they had set forth in their final mes
sage, that nothing less than the rat'
of pay given to similar classes of la
Dor in Chicago would satisfy them.
The officials of the Pennsylvania
troad have taken the position thai
they would grant whatever increase
was granted by other roads with ter
minals in Jersey City, but they saie
they had verbal agreements witt
their employees by which even if the
men of other lines went on strike
for higher wages the Pennsylvania
employees would not quit work
The ultimatum sent to the othe
roads on Thursday was sent to th'
Pennsylvania road as soon as thu
four-cent increase was posted, ans
it's ward employees will join the other
If the strike actually goes into effec
today.

Counsel for New Ferry Company
Sent Word That He Could
Not hq Present.
MEET NEXT WEDNESDAY NIGHT
Questions to BE Decided Are Regard
ing the Procedure of Granting u
Lease and the Length of Time for
Which 1t Could BE Granted-Ac-
I ton Expected to BE Taken at Adj
journed Meeting Wednesday Night.

The Board of Aldermen did not
hold a committee meeting last night
as was intended on account of the
inability of the counsel for the new
ferry company, George S. Silzer, to
be present. The meeting was to have
been held so that Mr.. Silzer, City At
torney Hommann and the counsel
could discuss the ferry question, and,
as Mr.. Silzer telephoned that he
would be unable to attend, the coun-
eli held no meeting.
Acting Mayor Pfeiffer said this
morning that although nothing was
done in the matter last night, the
question of granting lease for the
foot of Fayette street to the Perth
Amboy and Staten Island Ferry Com
pany will probably be acted on at the
next meeting of the council, which
will be neld next Wednesday night.
The matter was laid over from
last Manday night. The delay was
on account of a communication pre-
sented by Lawyer James S. Wight,
counsel for number of petitioners
against the granting of the lease
The council decided to get the city
attorneys opinion.
