MAHER DEFIES 4 | CARMENSUNON, __ FIRES COMMITEE Pon “Requests” vests” Presenited In- clude Higher Pay, Less Hours and Recognition. With relations between the union ‘and the Third Avenue Railway sys- tem approaching the breaking point { to-day, a strike on the Third Avenue system is predicted by next Tuesday. © & The union's demands, as given out — ae ee | by William B, Fitzgerald, are con- siderably in excess of those preceding the strike last year, and ask not only conferences on all complaints and for a ten-hour day to be completed within twelve consecu- tive hours, but for a wage of 40 cents an hour for experienced motormen and conductors. Thus far the company’s only reply has been to dismiss the four com- mitteemen presenting the demands. Those who signed the communica- tion were Patrick Ronan, John McAr- fle, Patrick Daly and Frank Moran. | grievances and seid sdk THE EVENING WORLD, THURSDAY, JULY 5 a seca tions and {s interested only tn in- creasing its own revenues.

Mr. Maher asserted to-day that the raise was given after committees had requested it, giving as their excuse the increased cost of living. At union headquarters in the Conti- nental, Hotel the only other develop ments of interest have been the appearance of William D, Mahon, in- ternational President of the organifa- tion, who arrived Tuesday but whose Presence did not becoyie known until yesterday, and the announcement that the employees of the Third Avenue de- claring their entire satisfaction with conditions on the road. were instructed at a recent meeting to Under the increase granted by the company, which went Into effect July 1, men who have been employed more than six months receive 80 cents an hour, instead of 27; men in the service over a year get 32 cents, and those over fifteen years at work 34 cents, “I do not intend to consider the demands that have been presented to me, purporting to come from the men of this company,” says President "The union has A Disturbed Digestion Soon upsets the entire system Give proper help at once exe TRY oom HOSTETTER’S Stomach Bitters FooTPOWDER Soothing-Antiseptit sign these under protest, it was said, so that no one might be singled out for discharge.

By that we mean there are five manu- facturers who put the same magnificent materials into their product as we do. But—and this is the point that sells the W alters—every one of these five other makes is priced at least $150 higher than the Walters. That is not only the point that sells the Walters; it is also the point that has made Bloomingdales’ Piano Department the largest in town. We do not buy the Walters—we make it. It is our factory. All the econ- omies of manufacturing are ours and yours. The Walters is sold only by us. Stores in other cities would eager- ly take local agencies, but we can barely make enough—and keep them up to the strict Walters standard—for our own Department at Bloomingdales’.
