A Threat to Tie Up the Subway, Elevated
and Surface Car Lines of New York

To the People of New York:
New York is again threatened with street railroad
strike, this time involving every subway, elevated and
surface car line in the city. 1t important that the
public know now the issues involved
Officers of the Union have been empowered to call
an immediate strike unless the Subway and Elevated
agree to cancel contracts made with 5000 of
their Employees:
Organizer W. B. Fitzgerald, of the Amaga-
mated Union, in Sundays newspapers publicly
avowed pupose-fang compliance with his
demands-to
"Paralyze the transit of New York as it
has never been paralyzed before"
We have agreed to meet this morning commit
tee headed by Amagamated Union officers, but repre-
sentng only minority of our The overwhelming
majority of our men have already formed Brotherhood
of their
At the meeting this morning shall repeat
determination to stand by agreements with
than 5000 of our Employees.
The contracts with our Employees which
asked to annul give the shorter hours and sub
stana increase in pay-aggregatng 81 $50 900 per
annum-the third increase by this Company since Janu
airy 1st, 1916.
The schedules of increased pay and shorter hours
embodied in the individual agreements before submis-
sion to the men, had been considered and agreed upon at
conferences between Company Officers and Committees
of Employees
Those Employees Committees had been elected at
secret ballot on Thursday August 18th. by $500 men
out of Il 900 eligible to vote
Conferences between the Company and the Com.
mttees thus elected took place before any other
mtee union otherwise, had presented any requests
whatsoever.
The Employees Committees elected made various
requests and after full discussion, the increases in pay
and reduction of hours set forth in the agreements
accepted as satisfactory by the mems representatives
In the call for election of Employees representatives
the men had been asked to choose felowemployees in
whom they had the utmost confidence. who should
be "empowered' to speak for them
The Company would have been justified therefore, in
accepting agreements by these representatives with the
new and improved conditions of employment express
mo the views of the EmDlOveeS cOllectiyely

THE ISSUE

There just issue involved the proposed threat to tie
up the street railways of New York:
Shall the marlborough Company be compelled to cancel
and annul contracts creating improved conditions OF
employ,ent voluntarily entered into beOeen the CON-
panu and more than 5000 of its Employees?
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-09-05

In order that there could be no mistake and
that the Company might know definitely that the
new schedules were satisfactory to the men, con-
tract was prepared for submission to each man
individually.
No man was asked to sign by any one selected by
the Company by any with authority over Others
Submission of the agreements to the individual men was
handled entirely by elected representatives OF an over
wheming majority of the men.
Those contracts give substantial benefits to the
men and were signed by more than two-thrds OF all
our Employees for reasons good and sufficient
to them.
But representatives of the Union demand that
we not only deal the usual way with their committee
-representing minority of the men, but that we recall
and cancel agreements already made with 5000 men,
In other words, an overwhelming ma ority of
Employees may not do what is agreeable to them
without threat of strike-wth its invarable sugges
tons of intimid la TONS coercion and violence.
If this means anything, it involves attempted
invasion of the fundamental right of freedom of contract
guaranteed to every citizen by the Constitution Of the
United States right here exercised by than 5000
of this Company's employees
The public should know of another aspect of the
pending situation

WILSON ~FLExIBILITY.

We do not see why there should
have been any stir in the senate over
the discovery hat President Wilson
has completely reversed himself in
the matter of the proposed child labor
law. Senator Borah was able to show
that Mr.. Wilson described this legis-
lation in his Constitutional Govern
ment" as unconstitutional, an "obvi-
ous.y absurd extravaganza" carrying
the congressional power to regulate
beyond the utmost boun-
daries of reasonable and honest in
ference" and making it possible, il
sustained, for congress to legislate
over every particular Of the indus
trial organization and action OF the
country" That, we must confess, has
also been the Evening Posts view.
But the Evening Post and Senator
Borah are old fogies, dating back to
the time when it was the custom to
have fixed beliefs and principles and
stick to them. The senator has evil

narrow man, whose mind is stupidity
closed to new ideas. who does not
alter his opinions. By this test, Mr..
Wilson is obviously one of the broad

produced, for he has changed his

universe, child labor legislation, pre-
paredness, Bryan, a continental army
but why continue? 1t is a long
enough list to prove that Mr.. Wilson's
political views are not fossilized by
any fear of inconsistency.-New York

After st. Paul had spent nearly three
years at Ephesus, he purposed going
again to Jerusalem. but first would
visit the churches of Macedonia and
Achaia. About this time occurred the
riot described in today's Study, which
probably would have determined the
Apostle to leave Ephesus. if he had
not already so purposed. The Lord
permitted prosecutions to drive st.
Paul out of every place-this seemingly
indicating the proper time for termi-
mating his ministry at each point.
Ephesus was one of the great cities
of that time. At the head of its har-
Dor stood one of the seven wonders
of the world an immense temple of
DIANA of the Ephesians'-the deity of
Asia Minor. OF course the fame of
this great idol attracted general atten-
ton; and those who could not go to
Ephesus to worship ut her shrine pur-
chased from merchants certain charms,
which consisted of small silver copies
of the shrine. In the Apostles day the
business of making these shrineS en-
ployed thousands of men.
A man named Demetrius was the
representative of the silyersmiths'
union. lncensed at the propaganda of
the Church at Ephesus. he aroused his
fellow-craftsmen by a stirring speech.

the business depression that would re-
suit if this man Paul were permitted
