New York, Sept. 11.—With the leaders of 750,000 labor men of Great- er New York and vicinity threatening a sympathetic strike, traffic on the subway and elevated lines in Manhat- tan and the Bronx impeded, and the ystem in those two boroughs and Westchester County virtually tied up, the general strike situation as- sumed a more serious aspect today. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, de- clined to discuss the probability of a general strike, but other union leaders asserted that if necessary 50,000 union men could be called out within six hours. Traction officials attribute the fall- ing off in services in the subway and yelevated roads to the unprecedented increase in traffic caused by the stop- page of all the surface lines. Union leaders claimed, however, that the surface FRENCH SOCIETIES IN SESSION HERE TODAY Delegates from Conn. Cities Meet in Biennial Con- vention. ‘New Britaln today extended to the French people the freedom of the city in the characteristic manner that has featured so many conventions and satherings here, when over 150 dele- gates from various societies and clubs gathered for the twenty-second bien- nial convention. It was the first at- | tempt of the local organizations to handle so important an affair and to the credit of the local French people it may be said they acquitted them- selves admirably. The day was ideal- ly adapted for such a purpose and with Old Sol throwing forth his most brilliant rays and the beautiful decor- ations floating from various business houses the city presented a warm greeting to its guests for the next two days. At 9 o'clock the Philharmonic band lined up in front of the headquarters of the delegates at 34 Church street and immedlatley the delegates and members of the local societies joined in procession to St. Peter’s church where a solemn high mass was cele- brated by Rev. Charles Coppens of this city. Rev. Father Plunkett of New Haven was deacon; Rev. Father Decelles of Hartford was sub-deacon and Rev. Father Veillard of Parkville was master of ceremonies. Rev. John T. Winters, Rev. Patrick Daly and Rev. J. Leo Sullivan also assisted in the mass. An able and interesting sermon was preached by Rev. Father Chartier of Martford. defection of employes of the roads ‘was responsible. Many Union Men. ‘All members of trade unions in New York, Yonkers, Mount Vernon and New Rochelle found themselves today ¥ active factors in the dispute between the Interborough Rapid Transit Com- pany and its employes. The various individual labor organizations in these cities served by the Interborough and its subsidiary companies received the appeal drafted by the Central Labor bodies last night, requesting a sym- pathetic strike of all organized wage s-earners in their jurisdiction “in sup- port of the contention of the street railway men for the right to organ- 1ze.” Since the response to this appeal must be decided by vote of members several days must elapse before its effect will be known. A central labor committee has been organized, how- > ever, and daily meetings will be held to direct a sympathetic general strike in case it is called. Opinions were expressed today that most of the unions appealed to would deter defin- ite action in the hope that such a rad- lcal step might be avoided. Labor leaders declared, however, that strikes might be called without delay In trades directly affecting the operation of street cars, such as the longshore- men who handle coal barges and the engineers who work in the power houses. trike Spreads On Surface. While the elevated and subway lines continued running today without ap- “? parent interruption the strike on the surface lines had spread rapidly. Union officlals assert that 11,600 men are on strike. Not a car wheel turned all day Sunday in Yonkers, Mount Vernon and New Rochelle and every surface car stopped running last night * in Manhattan and the Bronx also, after these two boroughs had received _an extremely limited service during the day. The seriousness of the situation has caused citizens to turn for relief to the municipal government., Tt iy expected that the public service com- mission, which has been investigating the strike, will make a report some time today placing responsibilty for the situation and throwing its officail influence into the balance to aid the Walde whose contention is upheld. 600 PARALYSIS CASES.
