WILDCAT STRIKERS
Will NOT GO BACK
Express Company En-.
ployes Still Out Though
Repudiated by Union

New York. Oct. ii RI The
wildcat" strike of railway express
handlers continued today despite
its reputation by the president of
the union to which the workers be-
long.
Varying estimates of the number
of men on strike we're given by ex-
press company officials and local Of
ficers OF the Brotherhood of Rail-
way and Steamship Clerks, the
striking union. The company said
not more than $500 men were out
to $4,000 men were on strike.
Although 20 per cent of the COM
pany's business in New York is in
handling perishable foodstuffs the
total amount is only q drop in New
York's, market BASKET and the city s
food supply service is not appre-
ciably affected. An embargo on all
incoming and outgoing express has
been declared by the company.
George NJ. Harrison. president of
the brotherhood. wired from Gin
cinnati ordering local officials to
call off the strike and apprising
them he was coming In to take
charge of the situation. The union
leaders here did not take any con-
certed action to get their men to
return to work, however. A repre-
sentative of the board of mediation
at Washington also was expected
today.
Local union men said the strike
vas called because the company re-
fused to recognize their representa-
tives. There has been q dispute IN
the American Federation Of Labor
between the brotherhood of team
ers and the clerks brotherhood as
to which union should have the
teamsters. chauffeurs and stable
men. The dispute finally led to the
ousting of the clerks brotherhood
from the A. +. of l.. Last Decem-
Der a peace agreement was reached
and the ban on the clerks union
was lifted last May. The matter
was on the agenda of the A. F. of l..
meeting set for New Orleans. Nov
19. but some union men believed the
action OF the clerks in striking put
the matter back to where 1t was be.
fore the December. peace agreement
A union delegate said the direct
cause OF the strike was the refusal
Of the company to grant 81 4
week incpease In pay to correspond
to one recently granted teamsters.

WOULD ALTER Zone Law
ON GASOLINE STATIONS
Linder Preparing Amendment to
Permit sale OF Fuel In
Business A District

With a view to encouraging Of
centers throughout the
city, Clerk Thomas Linder of the
board of adjustment is preparing a
proposed amendment to the zoning
law which would allow the board to
grant permits for gasoline filling
stations In Business A districts, In
special cases.
The expansion of the city and de-
yelopment of new tracts will even
tualiy leave certain business areas
without the accommodation of gaso-
line stations unless the board OF ad-
justment is empowered to make sre-
cial exceptions, members Of the
board and Clerk Linder believe.
Because of the numerous disputes
over gasoline filling stations in all
quarters, some opposition to letting
down the bars to a greater extent ID
anticipated In the council.
