Cross.Town Line.


afternoon to resume operations. At 1870
p. NJ. the police reserves were called to
the eastern terminus of the Grand street
line. Superintendent Murray and In
spector Steers were present and made
preparations for the battle. At noon
over COO policemen were on the scene,
and when the reserves arrived fully 1900
were in line. They kept the street clear,
but on the north side the strikers were
collected, and with thousands OF the
lowest classes Of men from the crowded
tenements of the narrow streets east of
the Bowery formed a threatening body
capable Of any form of outrage and riot.
The police patrolled the streets from
Bowery to East River. and kept the men
in motion, but such great mass OF
people could not be controlled altogeth-
er. They surged along with seemingly
irresistible force. 1t WAS a scene Of de-
structiOn and a task OF forcing a passage
seemed herCulean. Standing in front of
the Grand street ferry house, as far as
the eye could see, were overturned horse
cars, carts, trucks and wagons OF all
kinds.
At 2:50 car started from the stables
and proceeded under an escort OF 80 pO-
liCemen. The line of march was formed.
