men, the service will be tied up more
than ever to-day.
At the company's Office no one was
available to give any information about
the walkout. Inquirers who asked for
;: 7. Huff, the president, or Edward
Maher, jr., the general manager. were
informed by a clerk that mo informa-
ton Will be given out about the strike.
All cars are running o. k"
We do not call this strike" said
one OF the union men. 1--WE simply have
suspended work because the company
has discharged some of US for wearing
union buttons. We will get all the men
out and tie up the whole system if the
President Wilson has given his ap-
proval to the proposition that all cor
porations should let their employees be-
long to unions. Is the company going
TO stand out against President Wilson
It's wonder the Public Service Com
mission doesn't step in and compel the
company to operate all its cars, instead
of explaining to the public that it
can't get the men.
"When our union is recognized un-
doubtedly we will have our hours ar
ranged so we can get something to eat.
Now, when | am on an eleven hour run
ana ASK the DoSS TO let me on 10 get
something to eat, he'll say: Go in and
report yourself insubordinate If you
want to lay off day on account of
sickness you have to lay off a week
while the boss writes letters to see if
he'll take you back"
MotOrmar Beaten
The first serious disturbance as a
result of the strike occurred late last
night, at Amsterdam Avenue and 125th
Street, when a gang of about twenty
five strikers set upon Motorman Rich
ard A. Rodenberg, 366 West Fifty-fifth
Street, and beat him severely. Before
the police could interfere Rodenberg
had been knocked down. His right
shoulder was broken by the fall.
Rodenberg had just completed a
twelve hour run and had taken his car
into the 10th Street barns. He was
walking toward the subway entrance
when the strikers surrounded him.
The arrival Of tho police caused the
strikers to disperse. All escaped ex-
cept man who gave his name as
Patrick Keen, 2100 Eighth Avenue. He
is striking motorman. Policeman
Sullivan took him to the West l25th
Street Station, where he was charged
with disorderly conduct.

is for one car every five minutes the in
tcrvals were from seven to ten minutes.

using these lines had to seek other
ways to travel
Patrick j. O'Brien, second vice-presi-
dent of the Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railway EMPLOYEES,
said more than five hundred of the
three thousand motormen and con-
ductors had quit, and that headquar,
ters had been opened at Eighty-sixth
Street and Third Avenue, where more
were to be enrolled in the union.
What the Men Demand
The demands of the men are:
That the company permit them to
wear union buttons while on dutv, and
thus recognize the union.
That their hours be regulated so
they will not have to take eleven hour
runs without stopping for food.
They say that the company threatens
to discharge men who complain of hay-
