Hears Both Men and En-
pIoyers of Hudson
System.
TIE-UP OF LINE
SEEMS DOUBTFUL
Each Side Against Strike
Wages Not in
Question.

Commissioner G.. W. W. Hanger, of
the Federal Bureau of Mediation. yes
terdsy heard the arguments of both the
men and the employers in the threat
ened strike Of the motormen and train
men of the Hudson & Manhattan Rail-
way Company, operating the Hudson
tubes, scheduled to begin tomorrow.
In the morning, Immediately on arriv-
ing from Washington, he met G. ii.
Sines, vice-prcsident of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen, and l.. q.
Grifing, vicc-chairman of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, and IN
the afternoon he had a long confer
ence with Wilbur c. Fisk, president
Of the company, but no decision in the
matter was reached.
No question of wages has entered
into the controversy, the differences
between the men and the company
arising from the fact that forty-eight
men were discharged after having
Joined the newly organized Wilson Lo-
cal of the trainmen's union. Mr., Sines
said yesterday that the men made this
move with the apparent acqulescence
of President Fisk, but that alter they
had become affiliated with the organl-
cation his attitude changed. Al pres
ent, il is asserted, 80 per cent OF the
301 employees eligible to membership
in the Brotherhood of Trainmen be-
long TO the organization.
No Upset for Public.
After the conference yesterday after.
noon Mr.. Fisk said that in spite OF
the fact that the men were threatening
TO tie up all tube traffic between this
city and Jersey, except by way of the
PENNSYLVANIA tunnels. he was confident
that nothing would happen to upset
the public"
while the matter is before the
mediation board ] am not privileged TO
discuss it." he said, "but ] am not
anticipating any immediate trouble.
Trains will be kept running IN the
tubes Just as they were in the subway
after the men had gone out: In re-
gard to the conference with Mr.. Hang
er, | can say no more than that | had
one and expect to have others.
Labor Leader Against Strike.
Mr.. Sines also refused TO discuss his
meeting with Mr.. Hanger, who came
10 New York at his request to mediate
in the threatened clash. my organi-
cation does not believe in strikes. nor
does it want any" he said. Il believe
that the present difficulties can be
adjusted without recourse to a walk
out"
A secret meeting of the brotherhood
Of Trainmen was held Friday night IN
Odd Fellows Hall, Bergen Square Jer-
Sow civ al which time the men were
addressed by Mr. Sines. Another
meeting of the Wilson Local will be
held to-day, at which time he Will
again speak, and when action will be
taken on the applications for member
ship of other employees of the Hud-
son tubes.

MINERS TO ASK
SEvEN-HOUR DAY
Move Forced by Increased
Use of Machines, Says
President White.

Bcllairc. Ohio, Oct. demands for
n scvcn-hour day will be made by coal
miners of the country at coming wage
conferences, said John P. White, presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers OF
America, at the miners day celebration
here to-day. Such move is necessary,
he said, to conserve the economic and
social welfare Of members of the
miners organization, and results from
the increase in the use of mining ma
chimes.
Having established the eight-hour
day universally throughout the Juris-
diction of our union, and likewise the
mine run system, We can well afford to
turn our attention in the coming wage
conferences to further reduction IN
the hours of labor" White declared.
"The records show there are more ma
chimes used in coal mining now than at
any time in our history. So wide
spread has become their use that pick
mining in many districts has become
almost a lost art.
"The persecution of our people IN
some sections where our organization
has engaged in industrial strife is
without parallel" White added. par
ticularly do | refer to the great strikes
Of Colorado, West Virginia and certain
sections of Pennsylvania. But the
steady entry of our movement into
these citadels of opposition is bearing
fruit, and the opposition to the estab-
lishment of our union is gradually
yielding to the enlightening influences
of the organization, and wage increases
and reduction in hours OF labor are
being accomplished in the interest OF
these deserving fellow workers"
Thousands OF miners from all parts
of Eastern Ohio attended the celebra-
ton and participated in parade which
preceded the address Of President
White

Company.

Ernest J. NJ. Thomson, an expert ac-
countant, brought suit for 100000 yes
terday against the Fairbanks company,
manufacturers of scales. Ira {. Rams
burg, of So William Street, attorney
for Thomson, said his client had been
engaged TO look into the financial con-
dition OF the defendant company when
certain large creditors were pressing
il; that he knew of an opportunity to
sell the Binghamton factory. which was
operating at at loss, to British con-
Germ manufacturing war munitions, and
that the Fairbanks directors gave him
an option with the privilege TO renew
it if at the end Of a stipulated period
he had customer in view.
"My client went TO Great Britain
continued NJ. Ramsburg, obtained a
prospective purchaser and asked for an
extension Of the option. But he met
with a refusal, and on that account he
demands $4,000. The other cause of
action is based on alleged negotiations
with Vickors, Ltd, of Birmingham,
England, for sub-contract work in mu-
nitions."

Another politician said: ''Thomp-
son seems to have Numbered into
fuss with union labor that's going to
prove awfuIly dangerous to his pO-
IticaI future. This teachers deal
was a little too raw. After the street
car mems award the mayor could
have gotten almost anything from
union labor. But he has sure been
undermining that influence. AS
matter Of fact, in the wage award he
was really forced into voting for the
men by Maclay HOyne. Every one
knew at the time that Hoyne was
going to make an awful boiler if the
men didn't get a raise. Knowing
that, it would have been very foolish
for Thompson to line up with the
employees against the union men. So
he took advantage of the situation,
voted with the men and got the lions
share Of the credit. And, believe me,
the credit he got from it was too
much political capital for a man to
throw away with a move like this
