the next turn in the labor war which
threatens on next Wednesday when

largest city of the world a city OF

Developments Of the last twenty.
four hours have injected much bit
terness into the labor situation de.
veloping from the strike Of surface,
subway and elevated carmen.
The general strike order, as inter
preted by union leaders today, is
merely notice to the employers that
union men will not ride to work on
cars run by non-union men and
guarded by the police; but. they as
sert, its effect will be a complete tie
up of industry in the greater city,
through refusal to work of nearly
SOC, 600 union members.
President Shonts of the 1nterboro
storm center in the labor fight, an
nounced today that the policy of the
company to deal with individual en-
ployes and not with unions and un-
ion laborers has not been altered.
I'VE are fully prepared for emerg-
ency," he said. "Our policy will not
be changed. The only question at is
sac is whether the individual be
protected in his constitutional rights
to work with conditions satisfactory

today, as not all the leaders were

The police who were rushed to
Brooklyn terminals, found no evil
dences of an attempt to tie up the
lines there. The rumor that such an
attempt was to be made had been
current for several days.
Police Commissioner Woods today
issued an order to each captain to
enroll ten men in each precinct who
are willing to do strike duty. This
would add 900 men to the police

NEW LONDON, Conn.,, Sept. 2S.-
Carranza's apparent failure to direct
an effective pursuit of the Villista
forces that attacked Chihuahua City,
may radically effect the tentative
plans Of the Mexican-American peace
conference for a border patrol. The
commissioners had practically COM
pleted their work on a plan for bor-
der patrol when the Villistas struck.
II called for cooperation by Mexican
troops with General Pershings forces
in patrolling the border and was
about ready for submission to Wash
ington and Mexico City.
The Villa raid itself did not alter
the plans of the conference since the
villistas were beaten off with heavy
losses, according to CarranZista re-
ports. But the American commission
ers did not believe that General Tre-
vino, the Carranza commander at

start in vigorous pursuit of the Vii
listas and disperse the bandits. There
