Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 139, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 June 1915 — Car Men to Strike. [ARTICLE]

Car Men to Strike.

W. D. Mahon, president of the Amalgamated Association of Street Railway and Electrical Employes, after a two hours’ conference with the heads of the local unions, declared that the only thing that would prevent a strike among the 14,000 employes of the surface and elevated railroads would be a positive assurance of a substantial increase of pay and improved working conditions. Union officials have expressed themselves as opposed to any arbitration. The car men go out Sunday if their demands are not met.
