STRIKE. TIES UP
WESTCHESTER ROAD
Electric MOtOrmen and Con-
ductOrs Demand Steam
Railroad Rates.

All service was discontinued after
York. Westchester and Boston Railroad
lines connecting New Rochelle, Mount
Vernon, and White Plains with Willis
avenue and 1880 street. The Bronx,
when the conductors and trainmen op-
Grating the electric cars went on strike.
The men struck because the company
would not grant their demands for pay
according to Federal steam railroad
rates, which, L. s. Miller, president Of
the company says, would be an increase
of approximately thirty per- cent. over
their present wages.
According to Mr.. Miller negotiations
have been carried on for about a month
between the company and the commit
tees representing the motormen and con-
ductors The men always have been
paid according to the scale of the l. r. T..
the work performed being of the same
character.
I'm its conferences with committees
of its employees" said Mr.. Miller, 1.-The
company has recognized the fact that
the men were unionized. 1t has stated
that 1t had no objections to dealing with
the men as members of the various Or
ganizations to which they belong. The
| company has conceded all the demands
of the men with the exception of their
demand for standard steam railroad
| rates OF pay. 1t has offered to pay the
| same rates as those paid by the Inter-
borough Rapid Transit Company and the
men have refused"
Increases In pay were given In 1912.
1915, 1917 and two in 1919. On Monday
the men received an increase of twenty
| five per cent. in accordance with the
was settled. All these increases in pay,
| Mr.. Miller says, were granted without
any demand on the part of the men.
| Mr.. Miller said that in 1912 the aver
\ age annual pay of a motorman was
$1.063.0s, and that when they quit yes
| terday morning they were getting
| .70-an increase of 15S per cent.
| A conductor, in 1912, Mr.. Miller stated
was getting the annual pay of $923.50
| and at~the time he quit he was getting
25S.60-an Increase of about 144 pei
cent.
The company was forced to refuse the
demands OF the men for what amount!
approximately to a 80 per cent. increase
because, Mr.. Miller explained. the com
pany had lost from the operation of tn,
road from the commencement of opera
tion to June 80. 1919, nearly half mil
lion dollars.
The motormen are affiliated, Mr.
Miller said. with the Brotherhood of Lo
connective Engineers, and the conductor,
are members OF the Brotherhood OF Rail
road Trainmen.

Richard P. Lydon, Justice Of the Su-
preme Court, and returnable on August
26, restrains the Amalgamated from APP
preaching Third Avenue men for the
purpose Of inducing them to break their
contracts, from calling a strike or from
attempting to interfere with the opera
ton Of the system.
Mr.. F'ridiger admitted yesterday that
not more than 500 or 700 men attended
Wednesday nights meeting at the
I.yceum in East Eighty-sixth street. at
which the Amalgamated leaders hoped
to call strike on the New York Rail-
ways and Third avenue lines, but in
sisted that intimidation kept the rest OF
the crowd away. The failure OF this
meeting to produce a slambang strike
demand and the shower of injunctions
that has fallen on their heads have
sobered the Amalgamated leaders for
the time being. But they say they will
keep on until they win.
AS many employees as pickets were
able to identify at the meeting on
Wednesday night were discharged from

A Suspicious Man
Is Not a Happy Man

To be looking for an Indian
behind every tree or bush will
be bad walking for any one.
To select your friends, COM
panions and employees carefully
and trust them is the best thing
to do, as long experience
teaches.
Almost every human being
wants to do right and the men
or women who do not want to
- do right will expose it them
selves sooner or later. In spite
of everything, they fall over the
precipice ahead or the wolves
around them will betray them
by bowling.
1t is a great comfort to have
a business that you know to be
right from the bottom up and to
live with the people who work
with you that have the esprit de
corps of family brotherliness
and put themselves in their en-
ployer's place in trying their
best to extend and improve the
business, and love to do il. Yes,
that's what it is. they love to be

BODY OF DAN SULLIVAN
 IS BROUGHT TO SEWARi


 The body of Dan Sullivan was brought to Seward Saturday night on special train. From details received of the accident which caused MT. Sul- livan's death. it appears that he with Conductor Maitland were working un- der car making repairs. About fif- teen feet away from the car was a locomotive. with brakes set, the crew being off for the luncheon hour. In some manner it is believed that the brakes by one of those unavoidable accidents, became unset,. and the To- comotive started down the little grade and crashed into the car under which the two men were working. Maitland escaped with broken rib but Suili- van was caught and badly crushed, death being almost instantaneous. It is said that Sullivan could also have escaped if he had had both arms. Gloom is depicted everywhere among the employees of the commission as the dead man was we'll liked and was popular with all. Funeral arrange ments have not yet been made.
