By United Press.
New York, Sept. 16.-The Central
Federated union today submitted to
the individual unions recommends
tions for sympathetic strike and
boycott Of the subway and elevated
car lines.
The resolution presented recon-.
mends as preliminary to a general
strike that longshoremen, boatmen,
teamsters, engineers, firemen and
plumbers whose labor is keeping the
cars running stop work Immediately.
Using the argument that Morgan
interests are determined to crush un.
ionism, six trade unions have already
authorized their leaders to call strikes
at their discretion. according to re-
ports.
The police report thirty-seven per-
sons injured and one killed on traction
lines affected during the past twenty
four hours through the inexperience
of strike-breaking crews.

will be put in the basement which viii
be enlarged for more commodious
sample rooms. The first floor will be
concreted where it is not already so
constructed.
Every room in the building will be
provided with hot and cold water and
steam heat and the latter will call for
enlarging the heating system. The
contract also calls for nine new pri-
