The Amalgamated Association, which organized in 1892, is at pres- ent in control of the street rallway union employees of the United States and Canada, The employees of the “L” outside'of the motormen were en- yolled in the Amalgamated Association by Herman Robinson two years ago, At that time an agreement was made with the Manhattan “L” management providing for « satisfactory wage and working hour scale for conductors, guards, gatemen, ticket sellers and eo on, This agreement is still in opera- tion, naving been taken over by the Interborough Company. GOT NO HELP FROM ENGINEERS. The Amalgamated grand oMfcers had a hard time getting this agree- ment signed. There was a general raise of wages and a reduction of work- ing hours incorporated in it. In the struggle for recognition the Amalga- mated union got little or no assistance from the Brotherhoods of Engineers and Firemen. There is a provision in the constitution of the Amalgamated Associa- {tion that a local division going on strike without the sanction of the Gen- yA ler Executve Board, composed of the nine members elected by the Gen-/ hea a a Convention, shali forfeit all rights to assistance and be expelled. Here is the aituation: The loca! division of the Amalgamated has voted to sustain its Executive Board, which has signed an agreement with the local lodges of engineers and firemen to go on strike. This agreement ‘Tre-| was signed without the knowledge of President Mahon or any of the gen- ral officers. Mr. Mahon as President of the International organization will refuse to ratify it under any circumstances, MAY BE EXPELLED IF THEY STRIKE, If the conductors, guards and other employees go on strike in sym- pathy with the motormen they will be expelled from the Amalgamaed As- sociation and their agreement with the Interborough Company will be for- feited. President Mahon, in spite of the fact that the officers of the local ar| association have agreed to strike if necessary, believes that the men will ; | vote the proposition down if it is made plain to them that they have no funning high over rnmors that Kuropatkin had massed almost his| ine ‘array north of the Taitee River and was giving battle to Kuroki ik hard pressing the Japanese and their flank movement.
