WAR BOARD TOLD
BY B. R. 7. MEN OF
TRUMPED CHARGES
Discharged Employees Declare
Their Dement'S Started With
Union Affiliations.

Discharged employees Of the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit Company testified
before the National War Labor Board
in City Hall this afternoon that as
soon as 1t had become known they
had Joined the Brotherhood Of Loco
motive Engineers they were subjected
TO numerous accusations of speeding,
ignoring signals and more petty vio-
lations until they were finally dis
missed from service.
Most Of these witnesses mentioned
| Thomas Blewett. a trainmaster, as
the supervising officer who had chided
them for alleged derelictions of duty.
For many years previous to their
! Joining the union. the witnesses
swore, they had scarcely any demerit
ma rlNs against their names. Some of
the witnesses said they had seen
Blewett at union meetings at Pros
pect Hall, Brooklyn.
Although Blewett denied charges Of
intimidation and said none OF the
men had been discharged because Of
his union affiliation, he admitted the
company was opposed to it's en-
| ployees joining unions. The train
master also admitted he might have
stood outside Prospect Hall with an
He did so, he explained. because hc
had heard the men were organizing
20 strike. In reply TO former Presi-
dent Taft, chairman OF the meeting,
Blewett said he went to Prospect
/ Hall OF his own volition. Blewett
also denied that the company
Spotted" men suspected of union
activities.
George s. Youmans, representing
the b. II. T., promised Frank L.
Walsh of the Board that he would
submit in tho near future a list OF
vouchers for money paid certain
classes OF employees. 1t is expected
that these vouchers will determine
whether there is any truth in the re-
ports that the II. r. T. has a private
detective system by which 1t keeps
tabs on the activities OF its EN-.
ployees.
James NJ. Vahey, who said he rep
resented several hundred former en-
ployees of the b. r. T., dismissed
after they had remained away from
work to observe the Jewish holiday
told the board that the discharge oi
the men was nothing more than a
pretext to get rid OF the men whc
were attempting 10 organize a union
Referring to the general traction
situation in this city, Mr.. Walsh said
it was his understanding that the
underlying basis OF complaint here
was that wages are regarded as toC
low. Walsh said the board was told II
letter from Mayor Hylan that com
plant had been made to him by L
@. Griffing, Assistant Grand Chief O
the Brotherhood OF Locomotive En-
gineers, that a strike might occur.
The Mayor referred TO the prob
ability OF a strike in this language
There is immediate danger OF
strike because OF the Discrimination,
methods used against the men VIII

to organize
Both sides rested their case, an
Mr.. Taft said the board would TAX
