EeStion injurious To its business.

SEE RAY 0F HOPE
 IN SUBWAY STRIKE
May Avert Walkout at Confer
 enCe Scheduled Today /

1 New York, March LP, - New
 York's riding millions today saw
 ray of hope from threatened
 transit strike in a contemplated con- ference between Mayor James J. ! Walker and union leaders.
 l This conference between Mayor
 Walker and William D. Mahon and
 William B. Fitzpatrick. respectively president and vice-president of the Amalgamated association of street and electric railway workers, was generally looked upon as a final ef- i fort to prevent a walkout of the union members of the 1nterborough Rapid Transit company's subway and elevated lines.
 Mahon and Fitzpatrick, in their arrival from Detroit will endeavor 1 to settle the differences between the 1 I. R. T. and the union growing out of the discharge of several union members from the company's en- 1 ploy.
 i Meantime. the Peterborough was
 going ahead with its plans to main ! tain service in the event of strike.
 More than Too men, recruited in
 New York and brought from Wash |, ington. D. C. and other cities are l quartered at company car barns, be- 1 ing trained to take the place. if nec-
 essary, of the Amalgamated men. i Safe Till Monday
 i IL was generally believed a strike
 would not be called before Monday
 at the earliest as it was pointed out 1 in union circles that the members | first must vote the strike and then several hours would probably be
 given before the strike order would
 be put into effect
 ! Peterborough officials declare only 1 10 per cent of their men belong to the A. F. of l.. organization and that
 their own l. +. T. Brotherhood. the l the company union, enrolls nearly ] 100 per cent of their employees. The 1 brotherhood officials have declared l for the l. k. T. officials in the dis pute between the company and the
 Amalgamated. The Amalgamated
 on the other hand, claims 90 per
 cent of the l. k. T. as members. i The transit commission and the
 police department were laying plans
 to meet the strike situation. Only a ! few of the city's 14,000 policemen are on vacation, it was said. and 1 they could be quickly called to duty. i The transit commission said it's
 emergency bus plans, made at the time of a threatened strike last July could be quickly be put into effect. A report printed in the Herald Tribune as current in Wall street
 that Thomas F. Mitten, chairman of
 the board of the Philadelphia Rapid | Transit Co. might become head of i the l. R. T. in event the city should take over the lines, was denied in Philadelphia by associates of MT. Mitten.
