THE. STRIKE SITUATION

its conductors and motormen, and
which covers the rate Of pay,
hours Of service, ETC., etc., does not
terminate until next April. This
agreement was entered into by
the Company in good faith. The
Company has, lived up to the
agreement to the letter and it has
every reason to expect it's motor
men and conductors to do the
same.
Participation of Shop-men in
the conference between the Com
pany and the Union Committee
was denied for the reason that
before the Company agreed to
transact with the men through
the Union it was assured that the
Union was to be composed entire
ly of conductors and motormen.
Moreover, the bylaws, rules and
regulations of the Union provides
that only motormen and conduct
ors are eligible to memberships in
the Union.
The Company was willing to
treat with a bonafide committee
from the Conductors and Motor
men Union, as it has done in the
past, and it is willing to treat with
! the employees of other depart
ments through the proper chan
nels at all times, but we are not
willing to permit the Conductors
and Motormen Union to bring in
outsiders contrary to agreement,
without the Company's consent.
AS for the demands for respect
full treatment, the men have al
ways been treated with absolute
fairness; the greatest difficulty in
this respect is that the motormen
and conductors object to Inspect
ors and Starter reporting them for
Irregularities. They seem to think
they should be allowed to do as
they please and that cannot be
permitted.
The Company regrets the incon-
venience to which it's patrons are
being subjected through the in
terruption to its trolley service,
but in view of the circumstances,
the present situation, so far as the
Company is concerned, could not
very well have been avoided we
either had to stand up for our
rights or comply with the unreas-
enable demands and allow the
men to do as they please.
Our service will be restored as
soon as capable men can be
secured in place Of the strikers.
o. M. SEWELL.

CONTINUED from page 81


Following receipt Of the de-
mands I advised the President of
the Union that we would see the
committee at IL o'clock A. NJ,
Wednesday, November 81.
The Committee appeared at the
appointed hour but they were
accompanied by two employees Of
the Shops, who were not eligible
for attendance at the conference.
The Committee was also accom-
panied by Mr.. Carmelo Honore,
Chief OF the Department of Labor.
AS the President of the Union
would not exclude the two in
eligibles, we refused to treat with
them. Thereupon, the Committee
left without having discussed the
questions at issue. The Com
mittee then repaired to the office
Of Mr.. Honor6 and were in discus
sion with him for the better part
OF the day, but the men would
not listen to reason and the strike
| followed.
The facts regarding the collision
lat Stop 912 caused by motorman
No. 229 were as follows.
November 18th. Motorman NJ.
220 was i'll charge Of car No. 10
running between Borinquen Park
and San Juan via the Park and
Main Line). arriving at Stop 912
/ or inbound trip at 8 20 P. M. He
failed to make an obligatory stop
at transfer shed before reaching
the cross-over to the Condado
rack as required by the rules.
AS the car driven by motorman
Nc. 229 reached that point, Con
Iado car No. 8 (bound for San
Juan), which had the right of
way, was going over the cross-over
to the inbound main track. The
Condado car could be plainly seen
by Motorman No. 229, but instead
oil the motorman stopping before
reaching the crOss-over and with
out slowing down he deliberately
let his car crash into the Condado
ear ahead, causing derailment Of
the ear he was driving and dam
age to both the Condado and Park
cars. Fortunately, there were but
few passengers aboard and no one
was injured. This collision was
the result Of such gross careless
ness that the motorman was dis
missed. When this motorman s
grievance was discussed the cirs-
cumstances were explained to the
Grievance Committee. Moreover,
El Imparcial. (San Juan, P.R.) 1918-197?, 1918-11-30

it was pointed out that if the man
was reinstated and had an accid-
ent afterwards resulting in pers-
onal injury or death, the Com
pany's officials would be severely
criticised for having knowingly
permitted an incompetent man
to act as motorman.
The facts in the case Of conduct
or No. 68 were as follows:
About 6 o clock P. M. November
18th, this Conductor, in charge of
Park car No. 1, allowed passeng-
ers who boarded the car between
our general Office and Tanca st.
and Plaza Principal, to pass by
the cash farebox and take seats
without depositing their fares in
the box. AT Plaza Baldorioty, the
Conductor went through. the car
and collected the fares himself,
which is contrary to the rules.
Inspector No. 253, who was in the
car, asked the conductor why he
failed to require the passengers
to deposit their fares in the box
upon entering the car. The con-
ductor told the inspector that he
let the passengers by without pay
ing because he was out Of change.
The Company provides change at
given points for the use of con-
ductors, and instructions require
conductors to obtain change at
designated change-stations when
ever necessary. Our general office
Corner Tanca and Recinto Sur, is
one Of the change-stations, and the
conductor could have obtained
, change there. AS this conductor
had been reported for infractions
Of the rules on other occasions, it
was necessary to discipline him
for his neglect Of duty and failure
to csmply with instructions in
this case.
The demand for increase in the
rates of pay was denied because it
was neither fair nor just that the
Company make a further increase
in the wages at this time. The
Company has increased the pay of
its motormen and conductors sew,
eral times since the beginning of
the war, that is to say, the pay
was increased in October 1916,
January 1917, November 1917 and
again in April 1918, and the men
are well paid compared with the
wages paid in Porto Rico to men
of the same class, policemen, for
example.
Moreover, the ,sritten agree
ment between the Company and

THE DRAFT LAW CONSTITJ.
TIONAL.

The selective service act was upheld
as constitutional by the supreme Court
Of the United States on Jan. 7. The
governments contention, that the
power given Congress to declare war
includes power to compel citizens to
render military service both at home
and abroad, was sustained by the
court. Chief Justice White, who de
livered the unanimous opinion, de-
clared the conclusion had heen reached
that most Of the objections raisel
against selective service act were i'm
aginary, rather than real. The decis-
ion resulted from the appeals of thir
teen cases growing out of convictions
under the selective service act. Con
stitutionality Of the act was made the
basis for all of the appeals. The high
court of the country has spoken and
every true citizen will cheerfully obey.

A FREE POLAND.

should be erected which should include
the territories inhabited by indisput-
ably Polish populations, which should

the sea, and whose political and eco
homie independence and territorial in
tegrity should be guaranteed by inter
national covenant.
XIV. A general association Of ma
tions must he formed under specific
covenants for the purpose of affording
mutual guarantees Of political indie
pendence and territorial integrity to
great and small states, alike.
I'm regard TO these essential recti-
tications of wrong and assertions Of
right we feel ourselves to be intimate
partners Of all the governments and
peoples associated together against
the imperialists. We cannot be sepa-
rated in interest or divided in purpose.
We stand together until the end.
For such arrangements and cove
nants we are willing to fight and to
continue to fight until they are
achieved; but only because we wish
the right to prevail and desire q just
and stable peace such as can be secured
only by removing the chief provoca-
tons to war, which this program does
remove.

GOOD WORK FOR A PEACE FOUN.
DATION,

The Presidents message on peace
aims or war aims-as you may take it
is the broadcast and most definite
program, that we have so far seen, in
favor Of IN honest peace. 1t should
not be impossible to build on such a
foundation. We are afraid that Chan
cellor Hertling will not agree with the
President on the question Of repara-
ton for Alsace- Lorraine. Likewise,
Austria will hardly agree to have its
frontier changed In favor Of Italy. We
hope that these two questions will not
block the way to peace. The President
certainly goes rs far as he possibly
can according to our American point
Of view. If the warning nations are
ready for reasoning the turning point
has indeed come; not so, however, il
those interests who believe In a fight
to a finish find a willing hearing among
the peoples. Let us hope for the best.

SHOULD MEET CHALLENGE.

But whatever the results Of the
parleys at Brest-Litovsk, whatever the
confessions of counsel aud Of purpose in
the utterances Vt the spokesman of
the Central Empires, they have again
attempted TO %acquaint the world with
their objects In the war and have again
challenged their adversaries to say
what their objects are and what sort
of settlement they would deem just and
satisfactory.
There is no good reason why that
challenge should not be responded to
and responded to with the utmost can
dor. We did not wait for it. Not once,
but again and again we have laid u
whole thought and purpose before the
world, not In general terms only, but
each time with sufficient definition to
make II clear what sort of deiptive
terms Of settlement must necessarily
spring out of them.
within the last week Mr.. Lloyd
George has spoken with admirable can
dor and in ADMIRABLE spirit for the
people and government Of Great Brit
ain. There IL no confusion Of counsel
among the a~dyersaries OF the Central
Powers, no uncertainty Of principle, no
~yagIleness Of detail.
Luxemburger gazette. [volume] (Dubuque, Iowa) 1871-1918, 1918-01-17
FOR WHOM DO THEY SPEAK.

The whole incident is full of sig
n%ificance. 1t is also full of perp,exity.
With whom are the Russian represent
atives dealing? For whom are the rep
resentatives NJ the Central Empires
speaking. Are they speaking for the
majorities Of their respective parlia-
ments or for the minority parties, that
military ard imperialistic minority
which has so far dominated their
whole policy and controlled the affairs
OF Turkey and the Balkan states, which
have felt obliged to become their as
sociates In this war?
THE Russian representatives have
insisted, very justly, very wisely, and
In the true spirit Of democracy, that
the conferences they have been hold
ing with the Teutonic and Turkish
statesmen should be held within open,
not closed, doors. and all the world has
been audience, as vas desired.
ITO whom have We been listening,
then? TO those who speak the spirit
and intention Of the resolutions Of the
German Reichstag of July 8 last, the
spirit and intention CT the liberal lead
ers and parties Of Germany, or to
those who resist and defy that spirit
and intention and insist upon conquest
and s%ubjugation? Or are we listening
In fact to both, unreconciled and in
open and hopeless contradiction? These
are very serious and pregnant ques-
lions. Upon the answer to them de-
ponds the peace Of the world.
