announced today that the various
unions affiliated in 1t had already
been ordered to commence prepara-
tons for q general strike.
None Of the union ofi1cials could
state definitely that their members
would strike. Most OF them content
ed themselves by declaring that their
members would do 20 .if'' the men,
bers of other unions did.
T. v. OConnor. president Of the
International Longshoremen. when
asked whether there was any sig
nificance in his failure to be present
at the conference said:
II stand by the action Of tho COM
mittee. While ] was not at the meet
ing. the Longshoremen and Tidewater
Boatmen were represented there.
THE Longshoremen have no dispute
with employers in New York. We
have forty-six contracts here. We had
dispute with one Arm. but that has
been settled"
Mr.. OConnor was somewhat dis

upon him by the newspaper men who
kept up a running fire, of questions,
ands finally asked with some spirit

were a few international officials pres
ent at the conference, but 1t was
learned they took no active part in
the deliberations.
O'Connor, when questioned after the
decision had been announced. admit
ted that the Longshoremen could not
be ordered out until after a referen-
dunn had been submitted to the men.
He stated the members of his union
had no grievance with any employer
and had non-striking agreements with
most of them. He declared. however.
that canvass of the locals had shown
him the men were In favor or the
sympathetic strike.
The conference convened in the
street car leaders headquarters in the
Hotel Continental at 2 o'clock. 1t
was In progress for three hours before
decision was reached.
At the close of the meeting Ernest
Bohm. secretary of the Central Fed
Grated Union. came out and issued the
following statement:
1T was decided by unanimous vote
of eighty unions of greater New York
and vicinity that there shall be a gen.
eral suspension of all work in all
trades and industries in Greater New
York and vicinity, the same to COM

s A. M"
Hugh Frayne, general organizer in
New York State for the American
Federation of Labor. when pressed for
an elaboration of the statement said:
This is not a strike, but a suspen-
sien-ef work. Organized labor haa
been attacked. Our men cannot ride
in cars manned by policemen. There.
fore. they cannot go to their employ
ment''
The union leaders declined to make
any reply when 1t was pointed out
to them that in the event of tho
various employers providing convey
ances for their employees the strike
order would be rendered ineffective.
All the union officials declined to
discuss the order except in a general
way and then only when piled with
questions
Ernst Bohm, when asked II the
order meant a sympathetic strike.
replied:
Call 1t what you will. AS under
stand it a strike Is a cessation OF
work intended to enforce compliance
with demands which have been re-
fused.
NO demand will be made In this
case. The men will simply suspend
work because of no adequate facili-
ties afforded them. Union men feel
that they cannot be true to the cause
of organized labor and still maintain
their self respect as union men IL
they ride In "scab'' cars. No other
means Of conveyance is availa BILE, so
they must stay at home
The next step in tho situation Is up
TO the members OF the various unions.
AS the officials of the A. F. of L. and
the Central Federated Union have no
power to call a strike, the unions
will be asked to back up the strike
order in a referendum. The labor
