ACCedes to Wage Demand,
but Will Not Recog-
niZe Union.
STATE MEDIATORS
ACT IN STRIKE
Drivers Meeting to Con
slider Proposal Is
Broken Up.

Officials Of the Borden Condensed
Milk Company offered yesterday to
grant the SO weekly increase in wages
demanded by the striking drivers in
Manhattan, The Bronx and Queens.
Vice President Henry VI. Hsllock said
that he would refuse 20 pay the drivers
2ie per cent commission on new bust
ness, and, for the present, would not
recognize the union.
This announcement from the Borden
Offices. at 1903 Hudson Street, followed
the visit Of Colonel NJ. J. Reagan and
John j. Bealin. members OF the State
Board of Mediation and Cancellation.
Conditions look favorable for an ami
cable adjustment of the points in con-
troversy," Colonel Reagan said after he
had conferred with Mr.. Hallock.
Instead Of dealing officially with the
milk drivers local organization Mr..
Hallock went TO all the depots affected
by the strike 20 explain personally the
offer Of settlement. He addressed
groups OF strikers at four depots in
Harlem and The Bronx and then
hurried to Long Island City, where
forty-fve drivers employed at the
Steinway and Graham Avenues depot
joined inc Strlke yesterday.
Union Not Dealt with.
Officials OF the international Brother
hood Of Teamsters, at ISL Eighth Ave-
nue., said that they had received no
communication from the Borden off,
Gals. Michael Cashin, organizer OF the
milk drivers, who has been in charge
of the strike. was reported to be in Jer-
sey City. This offer to raise wages
will not settle the strike, that's GER
tain was the only comment made by
Cashin's associates at the union head
quarters. Mr.. Bealin, OF the State
Board Of Mediation, had conferred with
the strike committee, il was said.
MIR. Halock found sixty drivers
lettering around the depot a. 117th
Street and Second Avenue. He told
them that the concession Of the COM
psny would increase wages from SIG to
si9 week for the first twenty-six
weeks Of employment. from SIT TO $40
for the second twenty-six weeks, and
from sls to s21 for drivers who had
been with the firm more than year.
He requested the strikers to inform
him by tomorrow morning whether
they would accept the offer
Hsllock for Open Shop.
In regard 70 increased commission
on sales. which is paid semi-annually.
Mr.. Hallock said he had arranged a
plan which met the substance Of this
demand. "You know my attitude on
the closed shop" he told the drivers.
81 have no objection to employees join
ing the union. Until 81 per cent OF the
drivers approve of the union. however,
eball NOT forcn them 70 lOin."
The company's offer was considered
A, meeting OF the drivers held in
Labor Temple. Before a vote could be
taken the janitor ordered the men out,
explaining the hall was needed for a
meeting Of carpenters. The drivers
then shouted for a voice vote. and
Hallock's proposal was turned down.
Just how far this action would be
binding cannot be told until this
morning
There was no extension Of the strik

Big Meeting To-day.
Whether or not the longshoremen
will be represented in the convention
Of labor chiefs which will be called IN
Beethoven Hall East Fifth Street, this
morning is doubtful. There is no
doubt, however that substantially
every trade in the city will have dele
gates there when Hugh frayne raps
the meeting TO order at 10 o'clock.
Then it is promised the names and
numbers OF the organizations in line
with the sympathetic movement will be
made public.
Organizations which were said TO
have lined UP yesterday included the
building trades Of the Borough of Man
haitian. This lineup. however, was
more apparent than real. for no suspen-
sion is expected until the central coun-
Gil made up Of delegates from the sew
eral boroughs, meets tomorrow to pass
upon the question. Even then it may
not be decided, for there is some ques-
tion whether the locals will have the
final vote, a move that would postpone
any decision until well into next week.
The executive council Of the Team
sters' Union last night voted 20 sus-
pend work in sympathy with the car
men, at meeting in the building Isl
Eighth Avenue. noted as the headquar-
tiers Of George W. Plunkitt. VI. J.
Cashel. general organizer, said the time
would be fixed AT meeting Of the
business agents of the twenty locals
tomorrow. He says the order affects
10000 men.
Independent Of the sympathetic
movement, William +. Fitzgerald,
leader Of the car men. was cheerful
last night. He would not discuss any
phase Of Il. referring all questioners
to the committee. and insisting that
his part of the fight is progressing
favorably.
Fitzgerald Is Cheerful.
Fewer cars by forty-hve are OBJ
Grating in The Bronx to-day" he said.
THAT shows how the fight is going
Men close 20 Fitzgerald and O'Connor
said last night the latter was quite
within the facts when he said he and
Fitzgerald have a perfect understand
ing. According TO these, Fitzgerald has
been inclined TO apprise the sympa-
thetic movement as anything more valu-
able than a move which might shorten
the car strike. The same authority
has it that he told O'Connor he would
rot expect him to do anything he could
not square with his men and his con-
science.
Fitzgerald said last night that he
knew of no pending move to settle the
car strike, not having heard Of the call
Of Frsyne, Timothy Healy and Morris
Hilquit on Mayor Mitchell in the after
noon. This visit. made at the request
Of the Mayor. was for the purpose Of
informing him Of the status of the SYM
pathetic movement.
According 10 Mr.. Mitchell and the
labor men. nothing was said about set
Ting the strike or any intimatlon made
that he had any move in mind.
"He wanted clear statement Of the
situation" said Mr.. Frayne. "and we
gave it to him. That is all there was
10 it."
