On behalf of the gas companies, 1t was
stated that there were no more signs OF a
strike all day yesterday than on Friday
and that the agents Of the Gas Workers
Union did not succeed in getting a single
man to quit. II there were any pickets
near the plants, they had no communica-
ton with the workers.
"The union consists OF a small body OF
men who were discharged" said Robert L.
Livingston, a representative of the Con-
solidated Gas Company, land they have
nothing in common with the workers, who
do not want TO join the union. Regarding
the story Of President Kane of the Gas
Workers Union, who says he was attacked
by gang as he was going to casino
Beach to meet pickets, we have informa-
ton that he was not attacked by gang
He met a man who was going to his work
and tried to get him to quit When he
refused Kane called him bad name
whereupon the maa knocked him down"
The strike committee of the Gas Work
ers Union made a report last night to the
effect that the plant of the Gas Consumers
Company was tied up; that many en-
ployes of the Mutual Company, the Central
Union Company and the Brooklyn Union
Company were out. and that from fifty TO
a hundred men were out in every plant In
the city. BY Wednesday, the committee
said, the strike would be complete. A rep
resentatiye Of the Consolidated Gas Com
