ALL EFFORTS FAIL
IN N. Y. CAR STRIKE
SYMPATHETIC WAUKoUT OF zoo.
600 MEN SEEMS NEAR-C0N-
FERENCE TO BE HELD.

New York.-After a citizens com
mittee had failed to effect basis OF
settlement between the striking union
ear men and their employers here, it
was announced that apparently the
only hope of averting threatened
sympathetic walkeut of 700, 000 work
ers now lies in a final appeal 10 be
made TO the labor leaders. The eiti-
zens' committee probably will confer
with Mayor Mitchell and Oscar S.
Straus, chairman of the public serv-
ice commission. in an effort TO find
some solution of the problem.
After a conference with the mayor
and Mr.. Straus, the committee visit
ed Theodore p. Shonts, president of
the PETERBOROUGH Rapid Transit Co.
and it was said proposed to him
plan evolved for the peaceabe ad-
justment of the present differences.
Mr.. Shonts, ii was learned, inform
ed the committee that he would re-
fuse positively to meet representa-
tiyes of the strikers. He said that
even if he were disposed TO treat with
the strikers, he could not do so be-
cause the II ,000 loyal employees of his
company, which made possible the
continuation of the traffic of the sub
way and elevated railways, had threat
ened to strike if the Interborough
Company recognized the Garments
union.
In the meantime a meeting of the
central conference committee of the
strikers was held to count the strike
vote of those organizations which al
ready had voted. Ernest Bohm, sec
rotary of the Central Federated
Union, announced at the close of the
meeting that communications had
been received from three morgan
lied groups of employees in three
great industries asking permission to
join the strike"
