NO SETTLEMENT IN VIEW IN MANHATTAN UNION REFUSES MEDIATION OFFER. HARVEST FOR OTHER FORMS OF TRANSPORT. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 9.25 a.m.) NEW YORK, March 11. The bus strike does not show any signs of early settlement. The companies published full page advertisements in many newspapers, showing that employees’ rates compare more than favourably with those of automobile and aircraft manufacturers. The bus companies offered mediation, but the union refused, meanwhile subway and elevated lines were jammed to capacity. Taxicab revenues; have soared. Nearly a million passengers were carried by the buses daily, which constitutes 95 per cent of New York surface transportation. The union demands include a 25 per cent, wage increase and three weeks holiday instead of two.
