ITO this extraordinary and humiliatiny

replied. according to a telegram signed

England said this American ship, car
rying goods fully certified to be Of Amer

PEPCO WORKERS MAY

The employees of the Potomac Electric
Power Company last night took a posi-
ton which indicated they would Join
the local street car men in their griev-
ances. with the result that they would
be participants In any strike which might
be called in the event that the demands
of the conductors and motormen are re-
fused.
Such an action would mean that the
city would be thrown into darkness.
Ofhctals Of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Street and Electric Railway En-

more than half OF the employees OF the
power company are members Of their
Organization.
According to statements yesterday, af.
ter a conference Of several hours Of on
cials Of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company. the demands Of the
carmen were received as "exorbitant and
lunwarranted."
1t is believed the demands will be re.

In the meantime, the carmen are still
waiting for an answer. George wilburt
president OF the union, stated that while
the men preferred an amicable and friend
ly settlement they nevertheless stood pre-
pared to back up their demands.
