The prospect-of another street rail- way strike in Manhattan and the Bronx appeared tis afternoon when Federal Judge Julius M. Mayer em- phatically backed up Receiver Job E. Hedges of the New York Railways Conrpany (green cars), who recently discharged seventy-five employees ‘Decause of their activities in seeking to enroll men and women employed on the lines in the Amalgamated As- sociation of Street and Electric Rull- way Employees, The ultimatum of Judge Mayer was delivered in the shape of a letter to Louls Fridiger, counsel to the Amal- gamated, in answer to a letter written by Fridiger demanding that the dis- charged men bo reinstated, Fridiger cailed at the office of Judge Mayer this afternoon to urge his de- mand, but the judge refused to see him, and gaye out, as an indication of jhis attitude, the letter he had written. The Amalgamated Association has een threatening to call a strike on the green car lines ever since the Brooklyn strike was settled. Re- ceiver Hedges offered a committee of the green car men last week an inerease of 10 per cent. in wages, The cominittee informed him that the increase would not be sufficient and by implication they threatened a strike, This committee was com- Posed of Brotherhood men not affi- liated with the Amalgamated. Regelver ‘Hedges arranged for an- other conference this afternoon, This conference js to deal exclusively, ac- cording to Mr. Hedges’s understand- ing, with the question of wage in- crease and not with reinstatement of discharged men. But the men who Were discharged were members of the Brotherhoods. LETTER OF JUDGE MAYER ON STRIKE REQUEST. A crowd of 100 green car and In- terborough employees who cluim that they Were discharged because of thelr *yactivities In behalf of the Amalga- mated invaded the office of the Pub- lic Service Commission, No. 49 Lafa- lette Street this afternoon at 3.30 @elock demanding an audience with Commissioner Nixon, They were Magded by Louis Fridiger, counsel to + Amalgamated who said there would be another strike on all Man- hattan and Bronx lines unless the discharged men were reinstated. Fridiger bad not received at that time, the letter of Judge Mayer, which reads as follows: “I am certain that the people of the eity of New York are sick and tired of strikes, bickerings, misunderstand. | ings and confusion, 1, propose to make my meaning as clear as I can “The Brotherhood of New York Railwayy Company Employees has been loyel to the public of New York and to this court and its receiver, It hag mot at any time struck or threa evedgp obrieg, It rempecttwily aske RECEIVER HEDGES SUSTAINED BY JUDGE MAYER IN FIRING CAR MEN ACTIVE IN UNION fae SEE @ Denies Request That Seventy- for a reasonable wage increase and waited until I had an opportunity to examine into and consider the re- west and announce my conclusion. ‘While these employees were run- ning the so-called green cars during the strike under the stress of great difficulty, your clients were endeav- coring to disrupt their organisation. The brotherhood very naturally pro- AIRMEN WHO WERE SAVED FROM MEXICAN BANDITS BY PAYMENT OF RANSOM tested to the receiver against such a course and the receiver answered the brotherhood In man fashion. The re- ceiver’s anewer has my approval. “Notwithstanding the earnest effort of this Court and its receiver to pre- nerve this property for the public and for the thousands of people who have put thelr money into it and can iil afford to lose it, you or your clients cause a strike, the blame will rest where it belongs. and in this strike, So far as I am concerned, there will be no compromise until it is deter- mined whether or not law abiding employees aro to be left alone, and whether or not the public will coun- tenance interference with their neces: sity and convenience by those who insist on disrupting a lawful, derly labor organization such as this Brotherhood.” SUBPOENAS NOT SERVED BY HYLAN. The fifty subpoenas issued by Dis- trict Attorney Swann yesterday in the proposed Grand Jury inquiry into the alleged conspiracy between the Interborough and its employees to bring about a tare increase to 8 cents by a strike have not been served. The District Attorney has not de- cided whether to serve them or not. He said this aftcrnoon that he Is look- ing up the law. | Mayor Hylan is insistent that the conspiracy investigation be pushed, take action, At his suggestion a con- ference in the City Hill was arranged for 2 o'clock this afternoon ‘between the Mayor, the District Attorneys of New York and Bronx Counties and Corporation Counsel Burr, District Attorney Swann feels that the Mayor and the Corporation Coungel, who say they have positive evidence of a conspiracy, should turn over to him and District Attorney Martin of the Bronx all such evidence in their possession. The District Attorney said that Henry M. Brinkerhoff, the engineer- ing expert who ‘made the report on which the Interborough based its sertion, @ year ago, that profits would increase under a five-cent fare until 1926, made an astonishing ad mission while he was being que: tioned as to his information: about the status of the company’s financial affairs, The expert sald he based his report on what Auditor Gaynor of the Interborough told him, He did not examine books or records or make any attempt to check up Gay- nor’s statements. Assuming that the auditor of the Interborough knew what he was talking about accepted the auditor's figures as true. he strike was declared off District Attorney Swann put several of his subordinates to work on the investigation of the con- splracy charge, heir reports lack definiteness, it is said.
