UP TO THE COMPANIES.
New York Merchants Call on Express
People to Settle the Strike.

New York, Nov. 1.-Strong pressure to,
end the express strike which has so Sc
riously hampered business, was brought
to bear late today on the six trans CONT
mental express companies involved, by the
Merchants Association of New York.
Protesting that the position of the COM
panies is unreasonable and prevents a
settlement, the association in letter de-
mands that they recede from this atti-
tude. This action followed the sympa-
thetic strike by 1000 chauffeurs and cab
drivers to aid the express employees.
Copies of the letter were sent to the
officers of the companies, who have been
in charge of the strike situation while
the same appeal was made to every trus-
tee and director of the corporations con-
cerned. The letter quotes the statement
of Mayor Gaynor that the negotiations
for settlement failed on one point
only, namely, the companies would not
acQuiesce in the request of the men that
none of them should be discharged for
the reason that he had joined the union.
While talk of a general strike was
heard freely today, the strike leaders
would give no intimation that such'a
least.
The strike of chauffeurs brought many
of the employees hurrying to headquarters
to effect settlements and nearly half OF
the men returned to work before night.
Attacks on taXicabs We're frequent, how
eyer.
The question of licenses for drivers was
brought to the fore today when Francis
W. Magstadt, an escaped patient from
the Middletown State Hospital for the In
sane, was arrested while acting as
strkebreaker. A 2-foot club was found
hidden in the leg of his trousers. When
Magistrate O'Connor, before whom Mag
stadt was arraigned, heard the circum-
stances he expressed great indignation.
And this is the kind of men we allow
on the streets as a guard" he exclaimed.
I'm hold you in $500 bail for general ses-
sions.' The asylum authorities have
been notified of the mans arrest
Fears of serious trouble tomorrow,
when practically the entire police force
will be engaged in election duties, were
allayed today by the announcement OF
the companies that theywill not attempt
to operate wagons.
