of the Dry Dock, East Broadway and Bat
terry lines as have been granted to several
other lines, was held tonight. After nearly
/ f0rty-eight hours continuous session, the
committee reported to the meeting that
they considered a general ''tle up" at 2
o'clock tomorrow morning the best means
of solving the difficulty, and the motion be-
ing put and carried will be put in force to-
morrow (Friday) morning. The Sixth av-
enue line drivers after they tie up will not
again go to work unless they get 50. so
q day, the same as the Eighth
avenue line. and the Seventh avenue and
Broadway drivers are of the same opinion.
1t Is an open secret that the employees of
Elevated roads are awaiting an order to
shut down till matters are satisfactorily
settled. The officers of the n. G. s. Y. Y.
are notified to hold their men in readiness
in case of trouble. The car drivers of the
striking crOsS-tOwn lines met tonight. The
meeting was secret, but it was learned that
addresses were made urging the men to
hold together. Said one of the officers to
a reporter: ut took 1000 policemen to
rnn one car to-day. Does that look
ENCOURAGING FOR THE COMPANY?
We have the power and will decide
whether or not to tie up all the surface
roads. Another officer said that not only
the surface roads, but the elevated roads
and the Brooklyn and Jersey City ferries
would stop running tonight. Patrick J..
Walsh, who claimed TO be an insurance
agent, was arrested this evening on COM
plant of car driver of the Broadway line
He is charged as representing himself as
one of the executive committee of the En-
pire Protective association and using his
pretended authority in ordering number
of drivers on the Broadway road to ''tie
up" their horses and quit work
when they reached the depot.
Walsh boarded the cars between
FOrty-second and Forty-seventh streets,
and gave the instructions, which he said
came from the association. The conse-
quence was that number of cars were tied
up between 2, 4:15 and 6:15 p. m, when it
was discovered that Walsh was not what he
pretended to be, and he was arrested. The
Dry Dock company held a meeting tonight
at which the superintendent was authorized
TO employ competent men on the terms de-
manded by the strikers, and to insure their
protection and permanent employment,
that no pains or expense be spared to keep
the cars running, and the attorney general
and railroad commissioners be notified of
that fact. The district attorney says there
is no legal remedy against the strikers;
that they cannot be tried for conspiracy for
refusing to work.
THE LATEST.
NEW YORK, March 5, a. MT is now
learned that the hour determined upon by
the conductors and drivers of all the street
car lines at which they will quit their cars
and stop travel is o'clock this morning.
MAY FORFEIT ITS CHARTER.
ALBANY, n. Y, March 4.-The state
railroad commission met to-day, and as the
result of Commissioner Kernan's investiga-
ton, report was drawn up setting forth
that the Dry Dock Street Railroad company
of New York city had violated the require
ments of its charter in not running cars on
March and 8; that it had been prevented
by force on the Sd; that the mere attempt
to occasionally run a car is not sufficient,
but the attempt must be continuous to sup
ply transportation needed; that the COM
pany has no right to deprive the public of
these facilities on mere question of wages,
and that there should be law in the in
terest OF the public, in the cases of corpora
tions and individuals engaged in public
transportation and the like, to force both
parties to submit to arbitration. The board
decided TO notify the road to resume travel
on its lines, in default of which the at
torney general will be asked to take steps
to forfeit its charter.
