ULTIMATUM SERVED
ON STRIKING CARMEN

NEW YORK. Sept. Both sides
In the street railway strike expected
4 crisis today when the traction com
pany tried TO re-establish normal
schedules on its surface lines through
the use of strikebreakers. The strik-
ers had been notified that by re-
nouncing allegiance TO the union they
might get their Jobs back up to
O'Clock this afternoon After that
the company reserved the right to use
strikebreakers to fill the places of
employees, whose desertion has re-
duced the number of Green line"
surface cars in operation by about
eighty per cent.
The striking carmen were encour-
aged today by the promise of moral
and financial support from the Cen
trail Federated Union, representing
half million trades unionists in
New York City. II is announced that
plans still indefinite have been made
to call strikes in other branches of
labor to support the traction men on
the ground that their fight involves
the main principle of organized labor
and their defeat would mean the be-
ginning of move TO break down la
Dor unionism throughout the country,
through the medium of the Individual
contract.
At its meeting last night the Cen
trail Federated Union adopted a reso-
luton requesting Samuel Gompers.
president of the American Federation
Of Labor. to come here and take
charge of the situation.
