Brend tic up OF all the surface
lines OF the city, ordered by the execu-

association, took place this morning and
nota car is running. At 9.02 o'clock the
hrst car for the day on the Sixth avenue
road should have left the depot at Forty
third street. The car did not do 30. AS
the night men arrived with
their cars they ran them into the
stable. The men stood around quietly and
chatted and laughed in the best of humor
and did not attempt to resort to any
violence. Tho last car left the Broad
way depot at $50 o'clock. The next one
to arrive entered the depot, but did not
come out again. The men were very
quiet. They did not intend to quit
work until 4:5o a. m. bat agents from
the Empire protective association arrived
and
ORDERED THE MEN TO LEAVE,
which they did on the instant. They
assembled in orderly groups and pre-
pared to march to their hall on West
Forty second street, where they will re-
main during the day.
When car No. 204, OF the Third ave-
nue. line, reached the depot at Fifty
sixth street, at 400 o'clock, the driver
turned from the main track into the
stables and unhitohed his horses. Every
car that arrived subsequently
did the same. There was not the slight
est excitement or noise. At Has O'Clock
there were only about 15 men about tho
depot. They all belonged to the night
force, for the day men simplified mat
tiers by not reporting for duty.
President Lamb, of the company, was
Immediately notified, but he decided to
do nothing till he calls the directors to-
gether, during the day, when it will be
decided whether it will.be worth willis
to make an effort to run the cars. A few
policemen were sent on from The Fifty
ninth street station, but their services
were not needed, for everything was
quiet.
