BAY STATE FACES
NEW CAR STRIKE
Eastern Massachusetts Men
May Refuse Aword.

BOSTON, Aug. 19.--Intention to stand
firmly by the National War Labor
Boards wage award, by which the pub
lie must pay 100000 more in wages
this year to our men," was announced
to-day by the public trustees OF the
Eastern Massachusetts Railway Com
pany.
In a letter TO the presidents Of the
fifteen local unions of employees the
trustees called upon the men to CO.
operate with us in protecting the public
from such an outrage as the wilful
reputation of the award
1t was requested that the letter be
read at meetings tomorrow night at
which the men are to consider whether
to accept the award. The War Labor
Board awarded to the men approx
mately 10 cents an hour less than the
employees of the Boston Elevated Rail-
way obtained by Independent arbitration.
A subcommittee of the conference
board of the Eastern Street Railway
employees answered the trustees letter
by statement that there had been no
agreement by the union to abide by the
decision of the War Labor Board. Fail
ure of the trustees to bind themselves
was responsible for this fact, 1t was said.
James H. Vsney, counsel for the Car
Mems Union, to-day telegraphed to in
ternational officers at Detroit that a
critical situation existed on the Eastern
company's system and that action of
some kind" was needed. 1t was reported

were likely to vote for a strike.

|. R. T. Men Talk of Running
Motorman Connolly for
Mayor.

When New York awoke yesterday
morning and found that the Inter-
borough strike had ended and that nor
nal service had been restored on all
subway and elevated lines 1t was as
happy as a child with n new found toy.
, Never before since the great transit
Cstems were established had people
said so many nice thingR about them as
they did yesterday morning, Every
Manhattanite, Bronxite or Brooklynite
who descended into the Shonts caverns
from Van Cortlandt Park to Atlantic
avenue, Brooklyn, wore upon his counte-
nance broad and satisfied smile.
So far as could be learned not a
dngle guard, ticket agent or gateman
vas called down by the irate traveller
Because there were no such animals
10 be found. One work day with the
greatest avenues OF transportation closed
had been enough to tame the most con-
hrmed cranks in the city.
After hanging by their finger nails to
the outside of packed surface cars and
submitting to the wholesale larceny per-
petrated by private bus and truck owners
the public was glad to take anything
the marlborough might offer without
the slightest kick. Even a strap or
Sanction in the rush hours was better
than what the average human being
had to put up with on Monday, and
the general comment was Buses be
darned, this Is the life"
Strange: Vehicles vanish.
For after lying for practically two
days In state OF coma the traction
giant had come to life again and was
there on the job getting New Yorks
millions to work in record time. The
large force of police which had been.
guarding the Interborough power plants
and all parts OF the great system since
the strike was called by the employees
brotherhood at 4 o'clock Sunday morn
ing, had dispersed after its most un-
eventful vigil.
Likewise the motley lot OF vehicles
that had jammed up the thoroughfares
on Monday and contributed largely to
the general confusion and snarl had
completely vanished. A few buses that
appeared early in the day at points
where travel Is thickest found that the
public had not the slightest use for them
and gave up operations.
The ferries and other river craft
which furnished partial aid on Monday
we're likewise carrying their normal
crowds once more. and the vessels
pressed into service for the emergency
had quit altogether.
During the early rush hours the ele-
vated trains in Harlem ran on a head
way Of from four to six minutes. In all
parts of Manhattan and the Bronx the
underground and elevated service was
going along at its accustomed pace. The
suburban trains on the New York Cen
tral Railroad took on in the morning
many passengers at their Bronx and
Harlem stations who had not learned of
The resumption OF Interborough service.
The surface lines, which had been
somewhat hampered by the trouble
which the marlborough had in supplying
them with power, were able to get all
that they needed. for the power house
crsws had returned at the appointed
time
On this grand occasion there were
perhaps none happier than the guards,
