STRIKE IN SUBWAY IS
APPEALED TO A. F. L.
Hundred Tunnel Work.
crs Broke Contract, Is
Charged by O'ROurke.

John f.. O'Rourke OF tho Flinn-
O'Rourke Company. Inc. which Is do
ing much of the subway tunnelling un-
der the East River. sent a letter to the
American Federation of Labor yester-
day in which he charged that the 500
tunnel workers who have gone on strike
have violated their contract with MS
company. The strikers are all members
of the international Compressed Air and
Foundation Workers of America. which
Is affiliated with The A.. +. l.. MT.
O'Rourkc called upon the parent organi-
zation to gee that the strikers live %
10 their contract.
MY concern had an ~ironclad con
tract with this union whereby the union
agreed that there should I've no increase
in wages during the entire time neces-
sary TO complete the East River tun-
nels." said Mr.. O'Rourkc yesterday.
"The strikers have violated their con-
tract, and we will now refuse to deal
with their representatives. Instead. we
will put other tunnelmen to work"
lie said that the men now demand
that the foreman shall rave the privi-
lege of hiring the men. that a blaster
VINO shall have no other duties shall
be stationed with each shift. and that
wages all along the line be increased.
IAN these demands are ridiculous"
said he. "If We should yield II would
, change practically all the conditions OF
the contract. Under the terms we have
the privilege Of hiring other men to do
the work. We shall do this. and we
shalt hold the international Compressed
| Air and Foundation Workers Union re-
/ spous,hlr for any damage which we
sun IF as q consequence OF their having
