Committee of the strikers on the Third
Avenue railway now declare thstshey will

of selecting the men who should 60 back,
but this right was peremptorily refused
and they do not propose to humble them
selves further.
On the other hand, the officials OF the

Knights of Labor, shall select the men
who are to operate the road.
This afternoon the strikers started a
stage from Eightysixth street and Third
