A General Strike. ....
New York Is threatened with a gen.
eral strike. designed to tie up every in.
dustry which employs union labor and
to boycott the street railway lines, in.
Guiding the subway and the elevated,
on which a strike has been In prog.
ress for some days, but without much
success on the part Of the unions. SAM
ucl Gompers, president of the Fedora.
ton of Labor. was called to New York
to consult with the local leaders and
apparently discontenanced the general
strike. Before he came 1t had been
announced that he would be practi.
cally head Of the strike, but he has
made public statement in which he
neither advocates nor approves the
general strike, although he pledges the
sympathy and support of the Fedora.
ton to the union men IL they strike.
Mayor Mitchell, Oscar Straus and 9th.
er officials are doing all in their power
to avert this general strike, but so far
have met with no success. The spec:
tacle of the railway brotherhoods pro.
curing a 20 per cent. increase Of pay
by threatening to tie UP the country
by a general strike has proved too
much for the local unions and they are
bent upon striking, whether they have
the approval Of the president of the
Federation CT Labor or not.
