Birmingham. Ala. May 81. The
Birmingham Trades Council, at a
huge meeting Wednesday night, is
sued an ultimatum to the Birming-
ham Railway, Light and Power COM
pany to reinstate the lockoa out mo-
tormen and conductors by IL O'clock
Monday morning or every man in the
district carrying a card will be called
out at that time.
The meeting was supposed TO be
made up OF the executive committees
OF all Of the various union organiza-
tons in the district and no one was
admitted who did not present a union
card at the door. There has been
strong movement In favor of SYM
pathetic strike for several days, which
had its elimination in the action OF
the meeting. Numerous resolutions
forbldding members to ride on the
street cars or to use gas or electrici-
", this step being taken with the
object ia view OF Gripping the Bir-
mingham Railway, Lg6t and Power
company.
II all Of the union men IN the dis
trict obey the orders Of the Trades
Council, something over IS 900 men
will quit work Monday. It is un-
dorstood, however, that a number OF
unions are not in sympathy with such
drastic action and will not fall In
line. Notable among these is the
Typographical union, which received
orders from the International union
not to take part in the sympathetic
strike
