MANHATTAN ELEVATED LIKELY TO BE TIED UP AT ONGE BY BlG STRIKE, Engineers and Motormen Hastily Sum- mon Chief Arthur and Assistant Chief Youngson When Their Demand for Shorter Hours Is Refused and ‘A strike of engineers and motormen that will tie up the Man-| hattan Elevated Railroad appears to be inovitable. | Assistant Chief Youngson of the Brotherhood 5f Loeomotive; Engineers will arrive here to-morrow morning. A committee of the engineers has been instrueted to meet him at once at the Broadway Central Hotel. Chief Arthur, it is expected, will follow him shortiv. Both sides are anxious that the troubie shall occur right now. Waless almost miraculous circumstances intervene the most momen- tous struggle in the labor history of this city will soon be inangur-| There is in existence an agreement between the company and the men employed as motormen on the Second and Third avenue lines that tenj hours shall constitute a working day and that $3.50 shall be a day’s pay. ‘This agreement was sijgod by a representative of the men just before the inauguration of the electric system. May Withdraw Signatures. “In case we decide to strike,’ said one of the engineers to-day, ‘we have the right to withdraw our signatures to this agreement. It was not) made regularly, anyhow. “Ephraim Dutcher was Chief of the local division of the Brotherhood} when the electric system was installed. He wrote to Chief Arthur telling: him that the Manhattan L had promised that the pay of the engineers would not be disturbed nor would their hours be changed after the men were put on motors, “Chief Arthii: wrote a letter to Dutcher congratulating htm on the way he| had taken cote of the Interess of the men. When he got this letter Dutcher went| to Mr. Sxitt, General Manager of the company, and secured the contract re-| ferred to. With the contract and the letter from the Chlef he went to a special meeting attended by the men on the Second and Third avenue ines, about to Le switched from locomotives. “By skilfui use of the letter he and another engineer, Jack Bell, made it ap- pear that the contract had been submitted to Chief Arthur and approved by him. On this understanding the men voted to adopt it, but it was a close shave at that. The vote was 70 to 67, Bell is now in charge of the :#hool for motormen o* the Second avenue line, and Dutcher has been promised the same position on the Ninth evenue line when the work of Installing electricity 1s completed. We 4o not consider the contract, under the circumstances outlined, as binding."’ The Manhattan “L” road will be bagked, should the strike occur, by the combined traction interests of Greater New York. ‘The engineers and motormen will be backed by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Pngineers, the most puwerful and the best-organized labor unton| in the United States. | A Life-and-Death Combat.

On the side of the company it will be a battle for economy. , | On the side of the men*it will be a battle for the life of a labor union that has protccted them since the first wheel was turned on the elevated system.

(Special to The Evening Wortd ) POIO GROUNDS, NEW YORK, Aung. §.- Two hours before play was called for the concluding struggle be- tween the Giants and the champion Pirates Manager McGraw had his men on the diamond for batting practice. Roscoe Miller went to the rubber and hurled them over at top speed. Every batter was kept at the plate until he drove out what would be a safe hit. To some of the men it seemed well-nigh impossible to drive the ball safe. Brodie put in a string of fouls and easy flies before he got in a dyive over short. Jones, Mec- Gann and Bresnahan clouted Miller's benders out to the ropes. “We have to find the ball or we can't win.” said Manager McGraw. “I don't know any formula for mak- ing ready-made batters. Practice is the only thing and the mén are work- ing all day to clear their batting eye. “The Pittsburg fielders are a dis- couraging lot,” continued McGraw. ‘They robbed us of half a dozen safe drives yesterday, but I hope for bet- ter luck to-day. We will try every minute to pull down one game of the series.” Taylor was the likeliest candidate for the rubber this afternoon, though it was Roscoe Miller's turn. Taylor has haunt- ed MoGraw since Saturdsy and has been losing sleep for fear he may not get a chance to even up with the Pirates for knocking him out of the box Chesbro will try to pull out the fourth victory for the Pirates. Leever warmed up with him to be handy in’ case the unexpected happened and the Giants developed a batting streak.
