The Interborough man- agement has adopted the principle of individual contracts, under which there can be uo effective union, Hoth sides stand firm. Pitegerald and other union leaders assert General Manager Hedley and President Bhonts were guilty of sharp Practice when they submitted con- trarta with increases of pay to union men without giving the men time to consider that in aligning & contract they were signing avay the right to collective bargaining, the fundamental fom Principle of nism, DECLARE MEN ACTED OF OWN VOLITION, To this the comrany oMclals reply that every employee who gixned a contract acted of his own volltion and was neither coorced nor requested. In answer to this the union Jeaders point out that the Increases of pay wore Smade conditional to the signing of in- fividual contracts. 1 Participating tn to-day’s conference ‘were Fitagerald, the brains of the Manion organization; P. J. O’Brien, his sright hand man; Lewis Frideger, coun- {sel to the union; thirty-six employees “of the Interborough, representing the union, and General Manager Hedley, his assistants and counsel, Prior to ,the meeting Mr. Hediey said to an ‘Evening World reporter: { “Absolutely, there will be no con- “cessions.” Mr. Hedley knew what he was “talking about. There were no con- ‘eeasions on either side, and in that the conference was a failure. ia is what happened: Fitzgerald said that in conformity with authority conferred at a mass Meeting of employees held last Fri- day night the committee made formal demand that contracts with members of the amalgamated union be with- drawn because the union men who the contracts didn't know what y were doing. Mr. Hedley said if he could be satia- fled the men didn’t know what they were doing or that they were the vic- tims of an injustice by reason of sign- ing the contracts, he was willing to | consider tine propentiton fut, he ou ' -o . ond ; biviben! roe te the cours | CONTENDS CONTRACT 18 WOT ein DING Vives . union « 4 valve Peeogmition of Uh « eontracte oe weal, He « i thet the cow en J .

CONFERENCE DECLARED ViIO- LENT AND BITTER, Fitegerald and the members of the committee went up to the Continental Hotel, Forty-first Street and Hroad~ way, He said he couldn't talk until after a meeting to be held late this afternoon, The union men were hot clear through, + ‘They said the conference had been violent and bitter, and that at one stage of the procoedings Hed ley had threatened to dismiss the In- terborough employees prosent on the spot. They united, they sald, in an invitation to him to carry out his threat, but he cooled down. Fitzgerald took to the conference 100 affidavits signed by members of the union who allege they signed the contracts under a misapprehension or through duress, Hedley refused to look at them, After the confer- ence Hedley said: “Our position is that these contracts are legal antl binding on both sides. We purpose fo protect the men who signed the contracts, to protect the public and to protect ourselves, These men have been proclaiming loudly that they are golng to tle up New York street railway facilities from the Bronx to Coney Island. They can’t do it. We intend to run our roads, and the public may rest assured that we are ready to run them.” Chairman Straus of the Public Ser- vice Commission, who alded in set- tling the last strike, returned from Maine to-day.

Norris Williams 2d of Philadelphia was pinyed on the West Side Club's feature courts here this afternoon before 10,000 fana. The battle-ground was in the hollow of a circular banking of spectators, The high north and south stands were completely filled with spectators. The wind-breaker bleachers on the west side held additional hundreds, while the broad club house veranda contained many special guests for the greatest tennis battle of the year between the leading stars of the East and West. As a@ preliminary to the Johnston-Williama struggle there was @ match in the finals of the iavita- tion mixed doubles between Mrs. Barger Wallach, and Dean Mathey and Miss Marie Wagner and Lyle Mahan, ‘Tho Mrs. Barger Wallach—Dean| Mathey combination finally won the! contest which was listleasly played. ‘The scores were, 6-0.

As a result of two days’ work, tho British,in case they decide to make no further advance this year, command all the ridge of battle-front from Thiepval south, except around Ginchy. This means, as one British officer said, that “the Germans would have to dance to our tune through the winter.” CURTAIN OF SHELL FIRE SMASHED THE DUGOUTS. A wonderful spectacle of war was visible yesterday from a high point near the junction of the French and British armies. To the north lay a dark patch—the ruins of Guillemont— fringed by a wavelike earthy line of | old, second-line German trenches fac- ing Trones Wood across a space of! ten city blocks, which Is veined like a frog’s foot with trenches and run- ways the British had dug. For six weeks the British burrowed against the Germans over this shell- ruptured, buliet-riddled eld. Sun- day was day of successful Bri- tish effort®o break through this Ger- man bulwark. The British artillery had not de- stroyed all of the deep dugouts, but the curtain of intensified shell-fre kept the machine gunners down, and out of those dugouts after half an hour's work the British infantry turned out some six hundred pri- soners. A little further perhaps beyond Guillemont than three timey the dis- tance from second base to the home plate is a sunken road, at the north end of which is another patch—the ruins of Ginchy—where the fighting between Briton and German surges back and forth between barricades FY and cellars and any kind of cover that the men can throw up out of |‘ the debris. The British seem to be firmly es- tablished in the sunken road. All night they were digging themselves into holes there. much thelr objective as second base is to a baseball player who has just made a two-base hit.
