Company Threat. Frank Hedley, head of the Inter national Rapid Transit Co., has issued an ultimatum to the strikers to return to work at. noon today or forfeit their jobs.. At the same time the company has been getting unknown persons to send telegrams to the mén, forging the names of strike leaders and brother workmen, advising them to return to. work. Edward P; Lavin, chairman of the strike _ committee, declared today: “The morale of these men is wonder- ful and they do not intend to lose their. Dattle’ by reading threats, whether they be in the press or come thru the mail from I, R. T. officials or fraternal “weak sisters” who have been instructed to write the men let- ters on fraternal stationery.” No Diversion, Lavin has been approached by many “influential people” with suggestions for settlement by way of fare in- creases,.,Layvin's reply is, “I have told them that the strike was a movement for higher wages and the abolition of the so-called company union and I will never allow it to be turned into any other channel, The I..R. T. service is far from normal and the company has lost hun- dreds of thousands in fares. The men who have come out are sticking with the exception of a few who, it is be- lieved, were deliberately placed in the strikers’ ranks by the officials of the “company union” to attempt to break down the morale of the strikers.
