New York Traction Employees Threaten Strike Over Dismissals
In New York on April 5 the danger of a street railway strike rose after nine gripmen and a conductor were discharged by the Metropolitan Street Railway. Officials say disobedience of a rule banning saloon entry during work hours was the cause, while union leaders allege retaliation for activity in the local Amalgamated association. Central Labor Union meetings discussed the grievance but urged restraint, while a national union leader from Detroit was awaited for guidance. Rumors floated about possible reinstatement of four men, but locals were unsatisfied.
