W. Atterbury.

Undoubtedly they will get the telegrams I sent them to-day and will be here for the meeting at which we are to determine our course of action. But, whether they come or not, and if they come, whether they authorize it or not, we are going to tie up the L system of this town if Mr. Hedley persists in his unreasonable demands.” ALL THE EMPLOYES UNION MEN. All of the employes of the “‘L’ road, down to the car cleaners and !n- spectors of wheels, are unionized. A strike of the motormen would call out every man on the eystem if the expectations of Mr. Jencks and his associates should be realized. Mr. Hedley is of the opinion that if the motormen should strike they. would have to go it alone because the lower salaried employes would hesitate before going out to ald aristocrats of the system. The “L" road motormen are the highest salaried men in their line of employment in the world. They get $3.50a day with a special graded system of computation for overtime. The average motorman on the surface lines— including the men who run the electric trains on the Brooklyn Rapid Tran- sit system—get but a little more than half this amount of money. The physical examination rule of which the men complain {s tn force on every large railroad system. Primarily it {s intended to guard against color blindness and nervous disorders. Men have been examined lately by the “L" road and reduced to minor positions, and the men see in the rule a scheme to keep them at the mercy of their employers and eventually to fll thelr places with cheaper men.
