NEW YORK, Aug. l6.-AnOther
strike OF conductors and motormen
employed by the New York Railways
company will be declared forthwith
unless the company grants recogni
tion OF the union, according to resolu.
tions adopted at mass meeting of
the men tonight
The situation has become so acute
that Mayor Mitchell and Oscar s
Straus, chairman or the pubic serv
ice commission, are said to have been
summoned back to the city, the for
mer from Plattsburg and tho latter
from Maine.
Theodore P. Shonts, president OF
the 1nterbOrough Rapid Transit and
the New York Railways companies, in
a letter addressed to the mayor and
Chairman Straus tonight called at
tention to the ultimatum delivered te
him by the employees committee
which charged that the New York
Railways company had violated the
agreement of August 7, which brought
the strike on the surface car lines t.
an end.
Mr.. Shonts denied that his com
pany had discharged workers because
of their affiliation with the carmens
union and added that "in many cases
employees of this company have clear
ly violated the rules OF this company
some of the violations increasing the
hazard and endangering the safety ol
ma SSenpara on Olr cars
In circular distributed among Its
employees, the position of the company
was defined in part as follows:
This company has not sanctioned
the unionizing OF its men. 1t has said
that If any employe desires to join q
union he shall not be prevented from
doing SO by coercion or intimidation
neither shall he be discharged fol
joining. 1t has also been said that II
any employe does not desire to joir
union he shall not be coerced Ol
intimidated into doing so either by
unionized employees of this company
or members of any organization moi
employees of this company.
"The company explicitly reserved
the direction and control OF employees
in all matters looking to efficiency In
the service. The most important item
OF efficiency of service is the mainten
ance OF reasonable and fair disci
pline. The agreement stipulates that
no matters relating to questions OF
discipline or efficiency shall be sub
:. ject to conference or arbitration"
The resolutions of the car men
adopted tonight after authorizing
their leaders to call suspension OF
work on all lines of the New York
Railways company unless satisfac
tory agreement can be reached to-
morrow, declare that the company for
four days past has failed to com
ply with requests for conference
with the employees committee.
