MANY UNIONS
 VOW THREATEN
 TO JUN STRIKE
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-While sev- trades, met today and discussed plans for the threatened suspension of work" Wednesday in aid of the carmen who quit their places September 9th, active picketing of the transit lines which have been declared unfair" by organized labor was begun by thous- ands of men and women.
 Sentinels were posted throughout the city to watch for union men riding on the cars. All cases of the kind will be reported to the unions to which the men belong and fines will be assessed, it was said.
 Eight hundred coopers, affiliated with the lOngshoremen's union, it was announced voted in favor of a general strike. They will take no further ac- ton, however, until definite decision | is reached by the longshoremen, it was said.
 Except for minor, sporadic attacks against elevated railway trains by men lurking on house tops there was no violence. Service on the subway and elevated lines continued normal, while surface car travel showed improve ment.
 Jitneys and various other vehicles 1 pressed into service during the strike did a thriving business especially on | the east side of the city where many union sympathizers refused to patron ize the transit companies.
 Oscar $. Straus, chairman of the 1 public service commission issued a 1 statement tonight in which he declared that the pubic which had already been greatly inconvenienced by the strike, is demanding that both the cal men and their employers submit theil differences to arbitration. The ques- tion, he asserted. now concerns in c | large measure the 5000, 900 innocent in. habitants of Greater New York thar labor on the one hand and the opera tors of the transit on the other hand.
 The public demands arbitration. | said MT. Straus, and makes it's demand
 strong enough that the traction com
 panies and the unions will have to con
 sent. Neither side has been free O wrong and the public is put to the in
 convenience that has been imposed ol
