9Th Avenue Bus Head
Does Not Fear Strike

Richard W. Meade, president and
general manager of the Fifth Avenue
Coach Company, which operates motor
buses, said yesterday afternoon that
he had little fear of a sympathetic
strike by the company's chauffeurs and
conductors. despite efforts of officials
of the Amalgamated Association of
Electric Street Railway Employees 70
sign the men up as members of that
organization.
at is possible the union officials may
induce few of our men TO 90 out
he continued, "but we do not believe
they can get enough Of them TO quit
TO injure the company. We have tried
TO be fair TO the men. and owing to the
increased work thrown upon them by
the strike are paying them time and
"A half and also for overtime.
Eve are always willing to discuss
with the men any grievance they may
have. but we have no intention of rec
ognizing the street car union. | do not
believe that under their charter they
have the right TO enroll our men,"
Union officials yesterday declared
that more than half of the $50 en-
ployes of the Coach company had joined
them. Every one of twenty-five men
questioned yesterday by a Tribune re-
porter, however, said he had no in
tention of joining the union or of en-
gaging in a strike.
ave heard only one or two OF the
new men talking about it," said one
veteran conductor. 81 don't believe
they can pull out more than fifteen
men. We are making more now than we
have ever made with this company, and
I, for one, do not favor a strike. We
are paid ordinarily from $500 70 81
day, and with the time and a half and
the overtime many of the men are
making as high as SO and $40 a day"
Union organizers have made three
attempts 70 hold meetings TO organize
the Coach company's employees. Only
four men attended the first meeting,
ten the next, and about twenty were at
a gathering in East S6th Street Tues
day night Some Of these said yester-
day they attended "just TO see what
was going on" and that they would OBJ
ject 20 strike. at least so long as
wages were at the present rate.
