our opinion that the rank and file of la

carmen in their fight to maintain their
rights under the agreement OF August q
and underwritten by the mayor and
the chairman OF the public service COM
mission which if lived up to by the trac-
tion companies of New York would have
prevented the strike and general indus
trial unrest.
Organized labor did want to help the
street carmen provided a definite plan
had been decided and agreed upon"
The report declared the introduction of
individual contracts by the lnterborough
Rapid Transit company was an attack on
trade unonism.
Police headquarters announced that
canvass made by policemen showed that
