PLAN SYMPATHETIC STRIKE
To Tie Up All Street Car Lines in
Maine.

Boston, Aug. 29-Pans for the calling
OF sympathetic strike that would tie IN
virtually all the street railway systems
in Maine were discussed yesterday at a
conference between local leaders of the
Amalgamated Association of Street and
Electrical Railway Employees of America
and James Fl. Vahey, the association 5
attorney. The conference was called to
receive reports of the situation at Ban
gor, where nearly 100 trolley men are out
on strike in an attempt to force the
street railway to recognize their union.
Following yesterdays conference. it
was stated that within a few hours the
street car lines of Lewiston and Augusta
with the various branches. and possibly
those of Portland, would be shut down,
unless a settlement of the Bangor trou
bic was effected. This information was
conveyed to Organizer Thomas F. Shine,
who is handling the strike in Bangor.
Other organizers will be sent to Bangor
Immediately to assist in handling the
situation, it was announced
This sympathetic strike action, it was
said by Mr.. Vahey and association off
cials, comes as the result of the refusal
OF the Bangor street railway to recognize
the trolleymen's union.in that city. This
company, association officials declare. is
controlled by the same management as
the Portland street railway. where the
men recently went on strike. and the
Lewiston and Augusta companies. where
the men organized and claimed that their
unions were recognized without resort
to strike action.

et meeting in order to do so.

The direct negotiations between the
railroad executives and employees through
President Wilson practically closed to-
day when the executives refused to ac-
cede to the proposal made to them yes
terday by Wilson. In their statement to
him to-day the executives present an
other argument for arbitra tion. The
brotherhood leaders, it was understood
to day, would fight the compulsory inves-
tigation feature of the Wilson legislative
program but would support the eight
hour proposal. In order to have any eff
feet on the present proposed strike the
presidents program would have to pass
both houses and become a law before
Monday.
The visit of the brotherhood heads to
The White House came within half an
hour after the president had left the
capitol They hurried from their hotel
on foot to the executive mansion and
arrived shortly after Z o'clock, while the
president was at dinner. Their confer
ence with the president was brief. He
handed one copy of the railroads counter
proposal to A. p. Garretson, spokesman
for the employees, and said he would not
discuss it in any way. 1t is known,
however. that the brotherhood men gath
cred that he did not strongly approve of
It. Conversation about the strike order
followed, and then the brotherhood heads
departed.
Every effort was made to keep the call
at the White House secret. The union
heads returned to their hotel singly and
bv separate routes. After passing out
the word that they would meet the com
mittee Of p this morning TO discuss the
proposal, they went to their rooms, de-
clining to discuss their conference

of their number of acting as spies for |
