E1pTesSnlen Vote
To Defy Hines

Striking express teamsters OF New
York and New Jersey yesterday voted
almost unanimously to remain on
strike. in defiance Of Walker d. Hines,
Director General of Railroads. who has
notified them that their demands will
not be considered until they return to
work.
The vote took place at q mass meet
ping of two thousand strikers at
Cooper Union, who listened for two
hours to the plea of John A. Moffitt.
representing Mr. Hines, that they go
back. When Martin Lacey, chairman
Of the meeting, asked for decision
only one man voted to end the strike.
Mr.. Lacey. who is secretary of Local
645 of the international Brotherhood
of Teamsters, to which the New York
meeting that he supposed the next
move would be to spread the strike to
other cities. Michael j. Casual, inter
national vice president of the Brother
hood, has predicted that every city
east of Chicago will be affected.
Whether the American Railway Ex
press Company. which hitherto has
made no attempt to deliver goods in
spite of the walkout, will now try to
last night. Robert T.. NJ. Cowie, vice
president of the company, said the gov
eminent had spoken It's last word. He
would not announce his next step.
Kisses and ''Boos"
When Mr.. Lacey introduced Mr.. Mof-
fit to the meeting at Cooper Union
as the representative of Director Gen
eral Hines the strikers booed and
hissed. The chairman urged thems to
refrain and listen quietly.

of the action taken began Mr.. Moffitt.
Same old stuff yelled some one.
Put him out
After banging his gavel violently the
chairman apologized to Mr.. Moffitt for
the INSULTS"
told the strikers, you can expect bet
ter things from the government and
the people OF the United States. If
you stay on strike it will mean to the
people that you are openly defying the
government. You men will then be
placed iii an untenable position.
Early Decision Promised
"The Board of Wages and Working
Conditions has promised to make spe
cial exertions to consider your case.
They will come to decision on Novem

"They gave the ferrymen raise
why can't they attend to US right
away?" yelled p striker The rest of
the crowd shouted approval.
Mr. Motfitt explained that, despite
newspaper reports, the settlement OF
the ferry strike awarded no wage in
crease, but merely corrected inequali-
ties in the pay of various workers.
Thomas J. Lyons. business agent of
Local 90, read letter from Governor
Smith urging the men to stick to their
leaders. and a telegram from Frank
Hague, Mayor Of Jersey City, to Joseph

HARRISBURG. Penn, Oct. 16-
Charges of brutality against the Penn

MED by sixty seven supporting affida-
Wits, have been forwarded to Cover
nor Sproul by James H. Maurer, pres
ident of the Pennsylvania Federation
of Labor.
All the alleged offences took place
during the steel strike, and include
desecration Of the American flag
trampling of men, women and children
by mounted troopers, unwarranted az
rests and illegal fines.
Mr.. Maurer also contends the CON
stabulary was sent to Braddock with
out authority. Several negro strike
breakers, the writer also alleges. have
shot white men and have escaped pun
ishment
1t is further charged that nearly all
the lawyers in New Castle have been
deputizcd by the authorities, and it is
virtually impossible for a striker to
obtain legal advice

ed his attempts to hasten action on
the strike in Washington, and oontin-
ued:
Nothing is to be gained by a resort
to force. The public, of which you are
yourselves a part, is the real sufferer
by your action.
Il regret the tendencies in some
quarters whore the rank and file are
being misled by irresponsible agitators
and men of destructive tendencies. Or
ganizatlon without responsible leader
ship will bring US chaos from which
the worker will suffer most. The prog
ress which organized labor in America
has made is due to responsible and
fars GIFTED leadership.
Promises to Cooperate
"As friend of labor urge that the
men follow the advice of their elected
leaders. | shall do all in my power
to cooperate with them"
Mayor Hague's telegram to Secrc-
tary Tumulty read in part:
your personal interest and prompt
action by Hines will relieve the situa-
ton. respectfully ask your assist
ance for an immediate adjustment"
1t was announced at strike head
quarters that all the express clerks
in Long Island City had joined the
walkout.

IF on occasion it becomes necessary
for q chauffeur to remain on duty
longer than ten hours day by reason
Of delivery of some urgent cargo, no
overtime will be allowed for such extra

"While it is not contemplated that
the chauffeurs will work longer than

that such extra length of service Will
be performed, should the occasion re-
quire it, without extra compensation
This 25 per cent increase in the time
of work without any advance IN pay
would bring the wages Of the chauffeur
mechanics down to about 80 cents an
hour, according to the men.
Most Of u.s." said Joseph Brady, one
of those who quit, gave up regular
jobs that paid from s35 to s10o week
when we enlisted in the army. After
we fought overseas and came back we
found the old jobs gone. We turned to

Although we often had to work more
than the prescribed eight hours, we

Another chauffeur said the men were
making so little they could not af

might have helped them out of their
trouble. He added that the chauffeurs
