To Be Fined for Riding

1916

New York, Sept. 23. — Traction lines of New York upon which a strike has been in progress since September 6, were officially placed upon the "unfair" list today by the conference of the labor leaders which yesterday called for a suspension of work by approximating 600,000 workers to aid the striking car men. Arrangements have been made to picket the subway, elevated and surface lines, it was announced, for the purpose of "discovering the patrons."

Penalties for riding upon these lines will be imposed on members of unions by their respective organizations, it was stated by Ernest Bohm, secretary of the Central Federated Union.
