A NEW vERB-"The Impactionise

Everybody in New York read the
text of the armistice terms imposed
by Marshal Foch on Austria-Hungary
and the public was puzzled by new
word which apeared in section six of
the naval conditions. 1t was there
stated that all naval aircraft of the
defeated enemy were to be concentrat
ed by the Allies and the United Sta
tes of America.

TO THE PUBLIC:
Owing to strike Of motormen
and conductors, which has tempo
rarily shut down this company s
trolley service and in order that
the public may understand the
situation, we present tho follow
ing facts:
During the later part of Octo.
Der 1917, the conductors and mo-
tormen organized a union, OF
which Mr. Francisco Limardo was
elected President. Shortly there
after a working agreement was
arranged between the Company
and the Union. That agreement
provided for the methods to be
followed with respect to employ.
ment, assignment of runs; hours
of service, wages, discipline, etc
Last April a new agreemente was
made to run for period of one
year.
The agreement, which was duly
executed by the Union, does not
expire until next April. The agree
ment provides for pay of motor
men and conductors on a sliding
scale at rates Of 161s TO 20H
cts. per hour, dependent upon the
length Of service. The average

me. Being satisfied that the action
taken by the Superintendent was
just and proper, l declined to IN
terfere.
While negotiations were in pro
gress in the cases of motormen No.
229 and conductor No. 6S, was
served with request for an IN
creased in pay, which was denied
for reasons which will hereinafter
be explained.
November 81, the Grievance
headed by the President of the
Union again called on the Super
intendent and insisted that he re-
instate motorman No. 229 and
reverse his decision i'll the case OF
conductor No. 68 and allow the
conductor pay for the days that
he had been held off The Super
intendent again firmly, but poll
tely refused to accede to the de-
mands.
The Grievance Committee then
sought an interview with me,
which was granted. The Com
mittee took up the cases of motor
man No. 229 and conductor No.
6S. I again refused to interfere,
advising the Committee my rea-
sons therefor.
Tuesday, November 26, was
served with demands from the
Union, which in brief were as
follows:
Flat rate Of $75per month
for inspectors.
2-4O cts. per hour for conduc-
tors and motormen.
3-Respectful treatment by the
officials.
4-Entertainment of commit
tees from the Union at their plea
sure.
Reinstatement Of motormaI
No. 229.
Reinstatement and payment
of 7 days time to conductor No
68 for time lost under suspension
The Union also presented de
mands for increased in the rat'
of pay, change of working hours
etc, for Shop men at Rio Piedras
The damands were accompanied
by an ultimatum TO the effect tina
unless the damands were grantct
the men would strike.

rate for all works out at approx
imately 18 cts. per hour. Double
time is allowed for service on
theatre cars on which double fares
are charged. The agreement does
not include the rates of pay, etc,
of inspectors, Shop-men, nor any
employee whatever excenr motor
mem and conductors, and under
the existing arrangement the
Union had no right to demand
anything in behalf Of inspectors
and Shop-men.
Shortly after the existing agree
ment was made, Mr.. Iimardo, the
President Of the Union, resigned,
July 8, 1917. Mr.. Celso Irizarri
was elected President in place of
Mr.. Limardo. After Mr.. Irizarrl
was elected President, he was con-
fronted with all sorts Of COM
plants and grievances against the
Company but upon taking the
cases up with the officials of the
Company, he found that the griev-
ances were, for the most part,
mere camouflage. Mr.. Irizarri
was not willing to carry out the
unreasonable demands of the men,
so he resigned.
Mr.. Natalie Quinones was then
elected President.
Immediately following Mr.. Qui-
1ones' election, he undertook to
handle complaints irrespective OF
merit. Among the cases presented
and used as reasons for the pre-
sent strike we're:

TRADE ON COOK INLET LARGE

Seward is holding her own, in the matter of trading, with any other locality in this section," said Alex Fraser today who has return ed from a business trip In the Cook Inlet country.
 Anchorage is securing a large bulk of the Seldovia, Port Chatham and Kachemak Bay trade because the scores of little gas boats con slider the trip on the Inlet safer than coming to Seward, when seV- eral hours is spent on the open sea-" continued MT. Fraser" I found that the prices asked by the Anchorage merchants are about the same as those asked in Seward but the mosquito fleet is doing a large business with the merchants of the Cook Inlet metropolis.
 "seldovia is lively but if many more merchants go there to enter business the field will be over done. I have leased the Joe Hanson Pool room and will transfer my Knik and Seward stock there, but expect to return to Seward when the tide turns, after the war"
