and talk It over and II you decide
that you can not compete. we will
take your name Off the list and let

members where their efforts will do
some good.

win as well as anyone else; no one
has the cars won. and you can start

SAN ANTONIO, June l7.-General

attention today TO tho activities Of out

EFFORT TO INTlMlDATE
MEN SAYS GARRETS0N

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE
statement is an effort to intlmidate
the men. said A. b. Garretson, presl-
dent Of the brotherhood or galway
Conductors, when informed here to-
day of tho Pennsylvania railroad
appeal. 1T will fail OF its purpose.
The railroads have resorted to such
tactics before but never so openly.
Heretofore they have sought to ac-
complish the same end in secrecy.
The statement in my mind has
no especial significance and does not
alter the situation. which has already
been pointed out is not hopeless.
There is no danger OF a general
strike unless the railroads refuse to
negotiate with us after the strike
vote is taken. It must be remembers,
ed that the strike vote has yet to be
taken"
