Demands of Shea Shea replied: "We will call the strike off on condition that the employers dis charge all the non-union men they have imported and take back the old men in their places." "The employers can't accede to that demand, 1 ' replied Attorney Mayer. "Why, you have been importing negroes by the hundred," said Shea. "Do you mean to say that you refuse to discharge negroes and reinstate white men?' "So long as a teamster does his work he will not be discharged, be he black or white," replied the lawyer. "That is an outrage,'' said President .Shea. "You have brought these negroes in here to fight us and we answer that we have the right to attack them wherever found." "Then do so at your peril," retorted Mayer. Shea said that the union wanted the strikers reinstated, after which the em ployers would be asked to arbitrate the underlying differences which brought on the strike. The reply of the attorney to this was: "We have nothing to arbitrate. We assert our right to use the public streets for the transaction of our right ful business and the right to employ teamsters, black or white, at our dis cretion."
