DENIAL Of STRIKE
At POWER PLANTS
Labor Leaders Say No Effort
Will Be Made to Force
Shutdown.

Talk of a strike being organized at
the power plants from which the
street railway companies secure their
power. and the report that effort to
prevent a coal supply. which would
force these plants to shut down. are
being made. were given official denial
lat the American Federation of Labor
today.
l.. A. Sterne. national organizer. said
that cit is an injustice to the men en-
ployed in these power plants that any
such intimation that they are contem-
plating strike has been given pub
licity. We have not made any efforts
to enlist their support. We have not
heard from them that they intend to
support the street car strike. The re-
port puts them in a false position, and
regret it. There has been no author
ity for it.
Called unjust Suspicion"
'If a general sympathetic strike is
declared L believe we will have the
support of all trade unionists and that
| these steam engineers will be with us;
but until such time I do not feel that
their position should be misstated or
that they be placed under unjust sus-
picion.
This statement was made. it is said
as result of persistent rumors that
| the Benning power plant of the Po-
tomac Electric Power Company was
| likely to be the scene of a strike at
any moment. This plant furnishes
practically all the electricity sold by
| the power company, and furnishes
power for all the lines of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company
Reason Given for Rumor.
The fact that the street car lines
and the power plants are interlockine
| companies is the reason that these re-
ports have been circulated.
Most of the engineers of the power
| company are affiliated with the Inter-
national Steel and Operating Engi-
neers Union. Local No. 80, and the Ma
tional Association for Steam Engineers
While the great mass of employees, es-
pecially in the lower grades. are not
organized. it is claimed, they are in
sympathy with the carmen.
L. E. Sinclair, general superintendent,
of the power company. said this after
noon: The company does not antici-
pate any trouble. We do not know OF
any dissension among any of the light
company's employees. we do not see
any possibility of the company's en-
ployes going out in sympathy with the
street car conductors and motormen.
Our employees are mostly old men
many of them have been about twenty
years in service ana are nearing the
pension age. Our experience is that
this class of men stick pretty close to
their jobs.
LAS we are not anticipating trouble
we are not preparing to meet it. The

Trough Stuff Not Anticipated.

Discussing the strike situation, Maj
Pullman said that il the men follow the
instructions given them there will be

had been advised that the men were
told not to become violent. and if these
instructions are complied with there
will be no need for swearing in addi-

Maj Pullman said he had his full

licemen are on the sick list. Many are
on the road to recovery, he said, and he
thought some of them soon would re-

Instructions to Police.

Maj. Pullman this morning announc-
ed that the order of the department is
sued yesterday would guide the police
work during the strike. 1t is stated in
the order that peaceful assemblies will
not be disturbed, and in explanation of
that part of the order the superin-
tendent said that strikers will not be
molested when they gather in groups to
discuss the situation unless they be-
come disorderly or troublesome. No
application for permit to speak has
been received, the superintendent stat
ed
1t was made clear by Maj. Pullman
that comparatively small percentage
of the force is employed on the strike
at this time. and that the city has not
been "uncovered''. to such an extent
that it will be easy for thieves to
operate.
"A strike always attracts hoodlums
and a Iawless element from other
cities" said Maj. Pullman, "and it is
up to the householders not to be care
less in guarding their property. There
are many men who make practice of
following strikes, and such persons are
undesira bles"
Maj. Pullman suggested that persons
who leave their homes at night should
make provision for the care of their
valua bleS.
