XLVI—NO. 90. 600,000 WORKERS ORDERED T0 STOP TOIL WEDNESDAY Organized Laborers in Nearly Every Industry in Greater New York Summoned to Walk Out, AT 8 O'CLOCK IN MORNING Assertion Made Men Have No Means of Transportation With Transit Tieup On. { SHONTS WILL NOT MEDIATE New York, Sept. 22.—Organized workers in virtually every industry in Greater New York were formally called upon late today to cease work at 8 o'clock next Wednesday morning in sympathy with striking traction employes. Labor leaders assert that approximately 600,000 mex and wom- en are involved. The call was embodied in resolu- tions adopted at a conference of labor leaders representing federated bodies in all the ooroughs of the city, as well as many national and interna- tional unions. Of the eighty unions in the city represented, it was said somealreagy had voted in favor of a strike. The call, it was said, would be'issued not only to organized workers in New York, but also to those in West Ches- ter couffty, in which the cities of Yonkers, New Rochelle and Mount Vernon are situated, and would ex- tend throughout a wide range of in- dustries. Frayne’s Statement. Hugh Frayne, New York state or- ganizer of the American Federation of Labor, announced the determina- tion to call the sympathetic \walkout in the following statement: “It was decided by the unanimous vote of the representatives of eighty unions of Greater New York and vicinity that there shall be a general suspension of all work in all trades and industries in Greater New York and vicinity, the same to commente Wednesday, September 27, at 8 a. m.” Officers of several international unions attended the conference, Mr. Fravne said. Among these was T. V. O’flfonnor of Buffalo, president of the “International Longshoremen’s union, William B. Fitzgerald, general or- ganizer of the Amalgamated Associa- tion of Street and Electric Railway Employes, in charge of the traction strike; represented the carmen at the conference. - No Means of Transit. The call is based upon the proposi- tion that union men “Cannot maintain their self-respect” if they ride upon cars operated by strike breakers, ac- cording to a statement issued tonight by Ernest Bohm, secretary of the Central Federated union. "In cases where contracts-exist, Bohm said, the employers will be notified that the workers have no means of transporta- tion and if the employers cannot pro- vide transportation the workers mst | remain at their homes. . “Union employes will not risk their lives by riding on cars operated by green motormen and protected by policemen,” Mr. Bohm said. “Neither can they ride on such cars and retain their self-respect as union men, “The general tie-up will come be- cause employers of union labor will not provide their employes with means of transportation to and from work to enable them to start off the dangerous strike breaking cars of the several traction lines.” Won’t Meet Men. Theodore P. Shonts, president of the Interborough Rapid Transit com- pany and the New York aRilways company, reiterated his determination not to meet representatives of the srtiking carmen, “If 1 did so the men in the Inter- borough brotherhood would have good cause to strike,” he said. “ Be- sides there is no reason for negotia- tions, There is no strike. We are carrying more people in the subway, on the elevated, and in_theSteinway tubes than ever before, Yesterday we carried 2,208,257 passengers, or 387,- 639 more than on the same day last year.
