NEW YORK, June Blast night in view
OF the failure of supplies for the Third Ave
, nue. strikers, District Assembly 10. IS
Knights of Labor, representing the horse
, railroad employees OF this and adjacent
cities, were called together again. Detec.
tives were around the hall, and the strikers
sent messengers to warn the members OF
the Executive Board to keep out of the
way. From this it was evident that the
ordering OF another tie-up was under con-
sideraticn and it was desired that the
official heads of the organization should
take no open part in the proceedings, and
thus avoid indictment by the Grand Jury.
The Assembly is still in session at o'clock
this morning. 1t is announced that reso-
luton has been passed approving OF the
conduct of the Third Avenue strike and
ordering that it should be continued.
Ways and means for pro oviding money to
support the strikers was discussed, and it
was decided to order another general tie-up
on all the street car lines of this city and
Brooklyn. At o'clock this morning the
cars OF all the lines in this city, with the
exception OF those on the Third Avenue,
which are run by non-union men, were
stopped. All the street car lines in Brook
lyn. Jersey City and Hoboken have also
been tied up.
This is the third time in the first half OF
the year that all the surface roads in the
city have been tied up. This time the tie-up
includes not only Brooklyn but all the
Jersey City roads as well. Itwas remarked
yesterday by one Of the Executive Board
OF the Empire Association that the pro-
eeedings of tn board had been made psblic
to the promised reporters. Hereafter they
would not be able to anticipate the action
OF the board. He said the next district
meeting would be held in some place where
it could not be found out by reporters
The result of the meeting last night shows
that the first part Of the remark was no
idle boast. The action of the Board is said |
to be unanimously approved by the men. |
They say they have done this to force the |
Third Avenue road, through the interven.
ton OF other companies, to come to terms,
and declare that the fight will be forced
all along the line. The old story OF the |
combination between car companies IL re-
ported again as one of the causes Of the
strike. The blow struck was q sudden and
crushing one. Policemen along the streets
this morning hailed it as a short, decisive
settling OF q long strike which had worn on
their strength for nearly two months. The
police department were posted on the facts
early, and by 6 a. m every depot was
guarded by details. The drivers and other
employees worked through the night as
usual until the time for the first day cars
to run. In the morning at the Grand
Street depot OF the Drydock lines the scene
OF the fierce riot and confusion in March
Last, the night cars finished their trips At
$50 a. m. Half an hour earlier the day
men were to begin their trips. The men
did not appear for work, and the Assistant
went down, and was told OF
the tie-up. He merely asked if there were
were any grievances, and WAS told there
were none, that they were ordered to stop
work by the board. He then notified the
and the stablemen were
left to care for the horses. At the other
stables similar questions were asked, and
similar answers given. It is said this morn
union men have left the company, so that
only about eighty drivers are left in the
service OF the company.
President Richardson, OF the Brooklyn
Z Atlantic Avenue route, called on the
of Police, of Brooklyn, to-
lay and said he would like to run some
:ars under police protection. He thought
It would be necessary to have police on
every block along the route if not on every
,ar. Superintendent Campbell said he
could not possibly do it as the strike was
she force so that the greatest good might
De accomplished should trouble arise.
Everything is quiet at the railroad stables.
The Seventeenth and Eighteenth street
ross town lines of cars are running regu-
arly.
AT JERSEY CITY.
JERSEY Cry, June 5.-All the horse cars
II Jersey City and Hoboken are running as
Usual this morning and no tie-up is antici-
)ated at present.
