B. K. T. and Several Minor
Officials Will Be
Defendants.
CIVIL AND CRIMINAL
ACTIONS PROMISED
Victims Beaten by Uni
formed Employees, Is
the Charge.

William y. Mahon, president OF the
Amalgamated Association of street
Railway Employees, instructed Louis
Fridiger. local counsel Of the associa-
ton. Yesterday to bring civil action
against the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company and criminal proceedings
against several minor officials OF the
company for assaults committed upon
union men suspected of being organ
izers.
Proceedings will be begun at once
in six cases. while others are under IN
vestigation. The six cases include that
Of Bartholomew Shea, who was seri-
ously injured ten days ago. Shea con
tends that he was set upon by inspec-
tors and starters of the company IN
uniform because he was known to be
friendly to the organization. Tie spent
several days in bed in consequence OF
the assault and, it is declared, Will SUI
fer permanently.
Men named Sheehan, Hainey, Gal
lagher. McCahill and Koran have also
been severely assaulted, in some cases,
il is charged. on the mere suspicion
that they were organizers and IN each
case. il is declared, by men who were
acting under orders from some oihcial
of the company. In nearly every case
the assailants are said to have worn
the corporations uniform.
at is by such methods as these that
the company is trying to prevent our
organizing in Brooklyn" said William
b. Fitzgerald last night, "but 1t won t
work. We'll organize Brooklyn Just
as surely as the sun rises and sets, and
when we get ready to announce II the
company will know all about il. and
that its attempts TO bea. us with fists
and clubs have fallen down.
Meantime we are going to see II
the company is above the law. | do
not think that it is. Fridiger got his
orders from Mahon before he set forth
this morning to push these cases to the
limit. and that will be done. Perhaps
if the company finds that it costs mon
ey to beat men up it will stop. What
criminal proceedings will be taken ]

THE organization is going on all
right over there, and II is this more
than anything else that has caused

mother Rosie told in a matter of fact

She was to meet MIN at the corner Of

trio Railway Employees protested yes,
terday to President William o. Wood
of the New York and Queens County
Railway Company against what they
declare TO have been the arbitrary dis
missal of several Of the union men IN
the employ Of the railway.
J. II. Rearden, Of the executive COM
mittee of the union, acted as spokes-
man and called Mr. Woods attention
to the fact that the men dismissed were
older in the service than some Of the
others who remained. This showed, he
believed, personal animus toward these
particular employees. Mr.. Wood prom
ised 10 look into the matter carefully
and confer with the union men again
later.

Washington, Aug. 26.-President vii,
sons managers have not yet decided
whether 10 run him as a paciiist or as
preparedness candidate. Some OF
them want to pile on him all the credit
for the big three-year naval pro-
pramme. and others fear that too much

may cost thousands of pacihst votes.
A bulletin issued at Democratic head
quarters here to-day lays emphasis on
the disarmament provisions Of the
new navy pill. which stipulate that the
big continuing programme may be
dropped if an international conference
makes possible the limitation Of arma-
mcnts. The way the party leaders are
magnifying this provision is regarded
as sure sign that in some parts Of
the country, at least, the big prepared,
ness appropriations will be explained
to the voters as only paper money.
