New York, Oct. 31.-One OF the
greatest traffic strikes in the history
of New York Is threatened today by
the officials OF the Brotherhood of
Teamsters following a refusal of the
city officials to withdray policemen
riding on the wagons OF various ex-
press companies whose drivers aud
helpers are on strike.
The teamsters' union officials
served an ultimatum on the city au-
thorities today, declaring that unless
the guards were Withdrawn, every
union teamster IN New York would
quit work. Val Hoffman; vice presl-
dent of the International Brother
hood of Teamsters, said that tho
drivers of department store wagons,
coal and ice wagons, drays, trucks
and even of city garbage wagons are
ready to strike at a moments no.
tice.
Thousands OF strikebreakers ar
rived this morning to man the wa
gons of the Wells Fargo, Adams.
American and United States Express
companies. Scores of armed guards
have been hired by the companies TO
protect. the strikebreakers. In addi-
tlon to these the Metropolitan police
force practically has been placed at
the disposition of the companies and
1t was this action that has called
down the condemnation and anger
of the union officials.
In every precinct station of Man
haitian, Jersey City and Hoboken po-
lice reserves are being held in readi-
ness for riot duty. Agents OF the
express companies are urging upon
the state authorities to intervene In
the already serious situation and or
der out militia from the New York
city armorles.
Realizing the menace contained I'm
the threat of the teamsters TO tie up
traffic, the express companies have
appealed TO the city board of health
TO prevent strike among garbage
handlers and among the trades sup
plying the necessities of life TO the
people OF New York.
