Stone Cap Now Prevent the Angry Motormen from Going on a Strike and Forcing New Yorkers to Walk. Employees Are Mad. Clear Through and Negotiations Which Were in Progress Looking to a Friendly Ar- rangement Have Been Broken Off. Unless an agreement can be reached between the ‘‘I,’’ motor- men and the company through the intervention of Grand Chief Stone, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, there will be a strike on, the system within a few days, and for the first time in the history of the overhead roads New York will have to ride on surface cars or walk. Mr. Stone is on his way to the city from the West, as is Grand Chief Hanahan, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, with which order many of the guards who were once firemen on the “1” locomotives are connected. “Unless the Interborough Company comes to our terms we will* strike whether the strike is authorized by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi- neers or not,” said William Jencks, Chief Engineer of the local branch * in which is included the “L” road motormen, to-day. Tt looks as though there would bo a strike. Jencks is mad and the mo-°* tormen are mad. The good feeling that characterized the negotiations between the dissatisfied employees and the officers of the Comj.any when there was a diffeeence of opinion last April has been dissipated. Resent- ment of a bitier nature is held by the men against Gene.:! Superintendent Hedley, who came here from the “L"” Mnes In Chicago to run the Manhat- tan “L” for the Belmont syndicate. “Supt. Hedley,” said Mr. Jencks to-day, “is trying to Chicagoize the lines here, and we don't propose to stand for it. WILLIAM L, JENCKS. call it anyhow. NARROWED DOWN TO ONE ISSUR. “After yesterday's conference with Vice-President Bryan and Supt. Hed- ley,” continued Mr. Jencks, “the stand of the company is too plainly appar- ent to allow of anything but a strike. We have arrived at our conclusion, and it is simply this: We will not stand for the demands of Mr. Hedley con- werning physical examinations, “In effect the agreement submitted to us subjects us to a complete physical examination every eighteen months, We will agree to a complete examination every three years and an examination as to our ability to run trains at yearly intervals, but we don’t think we can afford to place our- selves in a position that will allow us to run the risk of dismissal whenever ‘ physician in the pay of the company thinks fit to declare us unfit. “I haven't heard from Grand Chief Warren §.

Mrs. Decker stopped only long enough to pick up her baby and run the room into the main hall, followed by the maid. Both women si elevators, Bellboys, chambermaids and porters picked up the word and ft shouted it through the big hotel. A boy pressed the button which sets. the automatic alarm in the office. This is a big bell, and with it simultaneously alarms all through the building. In a minute guests, men and women, and many of them with their dressed children, were scampering from their rooms. All made for the € vators and many were taken down to the office floor. There the exell was intense. T he elevator operators were ordered to take no one and men in the office who had left their families upstairs were unabli up to them. GUESTS WERE SCEPTICAL. Mrs. Decker and her baby were taken downstairs. Several other were taken down on other elevators, Then Manager Little sent the é and ground floor attendants through the building to assure the guests was no danger—that the fire was over. But many would not accept surani nd insisted on seeing for themselves.
