D OF all the surface lines of the city, or
dered by the Executive Board Of the En-
| pire Protective Association, took place this
morning, and no car is running. At ago
O'Clock this morning the first car for the
day on the Sixth Avenue road should have
left the depot at Forty-third street. The
car did not do so, and as the night men
arrived with their cars they ran them
into the stables. The men stood around
quietly. laughed and chstted in the best OF
humor, and did not attempt to resort to any
violence. The last car left the Broadway
railroad depot at $3.50 O'Clock. Tit next
car to arrive entered the depot and did not
come out again. The men were very
quiet, as they did not intend to tie up un-
til 1850 A. NJ. but 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 prepared to march to their hall on
| West Fifty-second street, where they will
remain during the day. When car No.
204 Of the Third Avenue line reached the
depot on Sixty-ffth street at AZ o'clock
the driver turned from the main track
into the stables and unhitohed his
horses. Every car that arrived subse-
qusntly did the same. There was not the
slightest excitement or noise. At 4:45
O'Clock there was only Is men about the
depot. They all belonged to the night
force, for the day men simpliied matters by
not reporting for duty. President Lamb,
OF the company, was Immediately notified,
but he decided to do nothing until he calls
the Directors during the day, when it
will be decided whether it will be
worth while to make efforts to run the
cars. A few policemen were sent over
from the Fifty-ninth street station, but
their services were not needed, for every.
thing was quiet.
z A.. M.-Under an existing city ordi.
nance no man can drive u street-car in the
city without a license. aud the number OF
these licenses is limited, and the organiza-
ton OF drivers Is thus complete. The var
ious companies will be compelled to run at
least one car q day over their line or for
felt their charter. II an attempt is made
to-day to prevent this the city will be COM
PEELED to exercise its fullest power, or be
held liable for damage under u decree Of
the Empire Protective Association. At
least l 500 men ceased labor this morning
at 6 o'clock. Not a street-car was running
on Manhattan Island. AT the Thirty
third street stable of the Third Avenue
line, it was stated that if the Directors OF
the Dry Dock line did not yield to the de-
mands of the strikers before noon to-day,
the association would order out all en-
ployes OF the elevated railroads in the city
and Brooklyn. Policemen were ON hand
and preserved order.
1880 P. M.-Polioe superintendent Muir
ray has received intelligence that the Com
mittee which met to consider the strike
troubles had adjourned, and that matters
had been adjusted; that the men will re-
sumo work at 2 o'clock this afternoon on

A Labor Strike Probable.
SEDALIA, Mo-, March 5.-There is
scarcely anything talked Of among citizens
but the impending strike. and conflicting
rumors are abroad, but nothing definite
can be learned as to when it will come.
Prominent men in labor organizations ex-
press themselves as confident q strike will
be ordered soon, and that il may come at
~anymoment. The railroad company has
ordered all freight going south stopped,
and are evidently preparing for a struggle
at the shops. All is quiet, but the men
say they are ready to lay down their tools
and walk ont when the order comes. The
Knights of Labor here evidently feel that
it will be a hard fight.
