More Than Coincidence "In purpose and expression all these letters fit in with each other so re? markably well that there is a strong suggestion of something more than mere coincidence. Possibly if Mr. Hedges, Mr. Fazakerley and the other railroad officials sat down together in conference and prepared these threats and planned a car strike in Manhattan, it may constikute criminal conspiracy in an attempt to extort from me as Mayor certain undue concessions for the railroad companies. The fact that, in my opinion, they are not.

entitled to any increase and that these demands are against the interests of the people of this city with whom they have a bargain and a contract has no bearing on this phase of the case. "May I ask you to give this subject your vrry careful consideration?" Mr. Hedges, when shown the Mayor's charges, declined to discuss them. "I deem it unprofessional and un? ethical to comment on any matter in the hands of the District Attorney," he said. "Until Mr.

Swann brings the mat? ter officially to my attention I shall not comment on it." James L. Quackenbush, counsel for the Interborough. said his' company would have no comment to make. At union headquarters it was said Mr Fazakerley would have nothing to say until he consulted with Mr. Hedges.

Not Interested, Say? Nixon "When I WTS six years old I used to be interested in 'Who Killed Cock said Public Service Commis? sioner Lewis Nixon. "Now I'm not. I am too busy in sympathetic co? operation with the union officials, try? ing to prevent further strikes, to be interested in letters." Mr. Hedges's letter of August 8 quoted P. J.

Shea, the national execu? tive officer of the carmen's union, as saying that a strike in Manhattan was certain. Mr. Hedges then demanded that the railway properties be "fully, adequately and instantly protected against threat, violence or disturbance of whatever kind." He said if the city authorities failed he would appeal to the Sheriff and declared he would ask the Governor to remove any official who failed to perform his duty. No Strike Planned In N. Says Shea Manhattan Carmen Will Be However, Union Chief Asserts Patrick J.

Shea, a vice-president of the Amalgamated Association of and Electric Railway Employes, said yesterday there would be no traction strike in Manhattan. "A tie-up of the surface, subway and elevated lines of New York is the farthest thing from our minds," he said. "Wre intend to organize the employes into the Amalgamated Union because they have come to us, through represen? tatives, and asked for it. We have re? ceived committees from the surface lines, and our organization will be opened to all carmen on all lines, but we certainly are going to go about the work in a peaceful way. "The only thing that would cause a strike in New York would be violent opposition to the union on the part of the companies.

If they decide to dis? charge employees because they arc joining what they call the 'out-side' union, then something would have to be done. Determined to Organize "We are going to organize the car? men here if it takes six months or a year, and we'll have a greater percent? age signed up within a short time. The National War Labor Board agree? ment which was signed by buth capital and labor representatives provided that employes should have the right i to organize in labor unions and that they should not be discharged, or locked out for joining. "I have not done anything so far with the Manhattan carmen because 11 have not had the help from headquar- ters. It is a big job and I have asked for several organizers, and they are coming right along.

John Parker and Harry Jones, of the executive commit- tee, are the only ones here to help me at present. "We intend to call a mass meeting soon, where we can meet the employes of the surface lines and discuss that matter. The union headquarters in the Hotel Continental is not a strike head- quarters for New York. We shall have a hall ana an office where the business i of organization can be transacted." Would Try Arbitration First Mr. Shea said that possibilities for a strike had been even further removed through the terms announced by Fed-i eral Judge Mayer in the B.R.

T. settle- I ment. He declared mat in the event of I trouble with the transit companies the I union officials would first appeal to the I city officials and exhaust all arbitrar tion means before a strike would be considered. Before such a situation could arise, Mr. Shea said, the car men will be thoroughly organized and with such numerical strength as to obtain recognition for the Amalgamated.

Officials of the New York Railways Company and the InteTborough Rapid Transit Company were of the opin? ion that the employes were contented and bear no grievances concerning pay or working conditions. Roughly estimated there are about 7,000 employes in the operating di? vision of the surface lines and about 12,000 in the subway and elevated lines of the Interborough. Both companies have strong organization brotherhoods, in which the majority of the employes are members. Union Head Plans To Meet Garrison Three'fourths of Men and Women on B. R.

T. in Labor Organization Officials of the Amalgamated Asso? ciation of Street and Electric Railway Employes placed with Public Service Commissioner Lewis Nixon yesterday a list of 7,500 names as a guarantee that more than 50 per cent of the B. R. T. employes were enrolled in the union on August 8, when the first strike meeting was called in Brooklyn.

Under the terms of the armistice I agreement between Federal Judge Mayer, Receiver Lindley M. Garrison, Mayor Hylan and union heads, the Amalgamated was required to show a 50 per cent, strength among the employes before it would be entitled to recog? nition. Louis Fridiger, union attorney, testified that the applications could be produced, though they were made on scrans of paper when handed in by the B. R. T.

carmen. The names were compiled at the union headquarters in the Hotel Continental and Mr. Fridiger took them to the Public Service Com? mission late in the afternoon. Up to Judge and Nixon Tf the proof is satisfactory to Judge Mayer and Commissioner Nixon, Re ceiver Garrison will be notified and I the way will be clear for the first conference between the B. R.

T. offi cials and the newly recognized Amal gamated members. The strength of the union is esti i mated at about 75 per cent of the operating employes. The offician list I given the union leaders by the B. R.

T. carried 10,014 employes. This number included 486 motormen who are members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. The company's records show that 13,000 persons are on the pay roll, but only those who are employes directly connected with oper? ation of the rolling stock are con? sidered eligible for union membership. There are 10.12S in this class.

Patrick J. Shea, leader of the Brook lyn strike, said he would meet Re ceiver Garrison to-day or to-morrow. I He said: "Both Mr. Fridiger and ray I self will be present when Garrison re ceives the committee of employes. The first thing we will do is to make a re quest that all the employes who were discharged during the strike because they joined the union will be rein stated.

We will take up the subject of increased pay later." Wage Question Can Wait Mr. Shea said he did not expect im mediate developments on the wage question. That is a matter that con? cerns the financial condition of the company and other legal phases. The main victory has been won, and that is recognition of the union. Concerning the third member of the committee which would be appointed as arbitrator in case Mr.

Shea and Re? ceiver Garrison failed to agree on points in dispute, Shea deck.red he was hopeful that no such person would be i needed. He said: "Now the em ployes are and as Garrison has given his word that he would deal with them, I believe every grievance will be amicably settled." Mayor Does Not Want Losing Lines Advises Third Avenue Company to Dispose of Them to Junk Dealers Mayor Hylan in a letter to Public Service Commissioner Nixon yesterday said that while he remains fullv con- i vinced of the merits of municipal own- I ership of traction lines, he is imper- vious to suggestions that the city take i over such lines as the Pelham Park and City Island, the Mid-Crosstown and the i Third Avenue tap line operating over Queensborough Bridge.

Gar? rison an "obstinate Federal Judge Harrison declared that Mayor I Hylan wai; "identifying the city ad ministration with the strikers," and i Public Service Commissioner Lewis i Nixon gave, the credit to Federal Judge Julius M. Mayer. The Mayor said: Mayor of the City of New York i I desire to thank the people of the city, and especially of the Borough of Brooklyn, for the patience and good nature exhibited by them in the recent 1 strike.

"The people of Brooklyn should not have been subjected to the terrors of any strike. An obstinate Federal re ceiver, who refused to see or listen to a committee representing his employes, was directly responsible for it. Commends Judge Mayer "The time has passed when capital I and labor cannot sit down and confer, and it is only by such conference that an amicable understanding can be reached. Confession must be made by both sides. Each has rights that the other is in duty bound to respect, and above and beyond both of them come the people, whose rights under the law must be respected, so that they can peacefully and with the least possible discomfort be aided in their struggles to secure a decent living.

"Judge Mayer is to be commended for his quick response to the appeals, made by Corporation Counsel Burr, that he direct Federal Receiver Garri? son to meet a committee of his men and confer, so that transit be resumed. "I also wish to thank the police of i the city for their efficiency in keep? ing at all times absolute control of the situation. From personal knowledge, owing to the personal visic? made by me, 1 know that at no time was there lack of police protection for the com? pany, and employes, could they have been induced to operate their cars, would have had ample protection. "Let us hope that we have seen the last of these strikes. The door has been oponed for the peaceful settle? ment of such differences.

"May I be permitted to say to those in charge of the transit system, ap? pointed to such control by our courts, and also to the heads of the labor unions, that every effort should be exerted by them in conference to set? tle all the'ir disagreements, and if thpy cannot agree, that they submit their to a neutral conference for arbitration." From Judge Garrison Judge Garrison's statement follows: "I have read the statement of the Mayor and see no occasion to continue the controversy as to the unfortunate otcurrences of the last few days. I suppose it is very natural for the Mayor to desire to put himself in the position where he feels he should re- ecive commendation and credit. "I think, however, one very serious i matter is entirely overlooked by him, and in my judgment it is the only mat? ter of great consequence in the situa tion. "It is unquestionably true that fro' the time of the calling of the the Mayor absolutely identified him-ci with the strikers, and by his persona statements and the conduct of tho i under his instructions in his legal di partment and in the 1'oliee Deparlmer he demonstrated that ho was ident. fying the city administration with tli strikers.
