luton as follows:
THE President (Shonts) stated
that a threat had been made
upon the part Of employees be-
longing to the Amalgamated
Association to call a sympa-
thetic strike upon lines Of tho
New York Railways Company.
Notwithstanding that tho differ
ence between the men and officers
OF the company were in process
OF adjustment under the terms OF
the agreement of Aug. Z unless
the Interborouxh taapid Transit
Company should cancel tho
agreements already entered into
between It and substantially
four-nfths Of the employees Of
the company nxing q scale Of
wages. reducing the hours OF
labor and specifying other terms
OF employment.
He added that the Inter-
borough Rapid Transit Company
had declined to withdraw said
agreements or depart from tho
terms thereof and that, there
fore. 1t was probable that a strike
would be called upon the lines Of
this company.
"RESOLVED. that II the en-
ployees OF the New York Rail-
ways Company declare a strike
upon the lines OF said company,
the Officers OF the company be
and they hereby are authorized,
In that case. to enter into con-
tracts with the individual en-
ployees In accordance with the
scale laid before the board"
This new scale provided for numer-
Gus increases In wages which were
not to be announced unless a strike
occurred. Nor were tho individual
working agreements. which form the
basis OF dispute between union and
company, to be circulated among the
surface line men unless the strike
was called.
The union committee was not In
formed OF this when they broke with
Hedley at their later conference.
Otherwise a strike might have been
ayerted
