MAYOR mitchell COULD
NOT BRING ABOUT PEACE

New York, September 13-The In
terborough Rapid Transit and New
York Railways company today form
ally rejected the public service COM
missions recommendation for strike
settlement made yesterday. The two
companies, controlling the subway and
elevated, and green car" service
lines, decline to hold further confer
ences with representatives of the un-
ion. 1t was announced that it is their
intention to continue to operate the
lines on the present basis. Detectives,
it was disclosed have been investigat-
ing the reported plot to damage the
marlborough property with explosive.
A track walker has found explosives.
New York, Sept. 13.-Mayor Nit
chel has failed in an effort to stop the
street car strike which already has
almost paralyzed traffic in Greater
New York and threatens to spread to
other industries.
A few hours after the mayor had
issued a memorandum recommending
that the strike be discontinued i'm
mediately and that the opposing lead
ers hold conferences with view to
agreeing upon arbitration, plans not
only to continue, but to extend the tie
up were being discussed at a meeting
of the United Labor conference of the
Central bodies of Greater New York.
While the labor leaders were in ses-
sion, ignoring the appeal of the mayor,
President Shonts of the marlborough
Rapid Transit company announced
that he would not accept Mayor Nit
chefs recommendation.
After the conference Hugh Frayne,
New York state organizer of the
American Federation of Labor, issued
this statement:
"The concensus of opinion among
the members of the various organiza-
tions represented was that the rail-
road officials must be met with the
sort of force they were applying to
the men"
To Meet Commission.
Representatives of the strikers an
nounced they would not comment on
the plans of the mayor and the public
service commission to have the strike
arbitrated until they appeared before
the commission. Both sides will be
permitted to express their views.
Minor disturbances occurred in sew
eral places. Traffic on virtually all
surface car lines affected by the strike
was suspended again. Subway and
elevated train service continued about
normal.
Found the Dynamite.
New York, September 13.-Wil-
liam Schumacher, one of the track
workers employed by the traction
companies to help break the strike,
reported today that he had discov-
cred quantity of dynamite hidden
under the tracks in one of the sub
ways in Brooklyn.
Three persons were injured when
a street car operated by strike break
ers, ran into an open switch today
on Third avenue, and was derailed.
1t is believed the switch was opened
and left so by strike sympathizers.
The traction companies today
turned down the proposal OF arbi-
tration, which was presented by a
committee of citizens.
