NEW YORK May lSS6.-rhe strike on
the Third Avenue car line has not Jet end
ed. Ii is not over although overtures have
been made By both parties. MIR. Lyoa, the
president OF the company, says ne will give
the strikers Just one mote day II return
and if they don't come back then, the
door of mercy will b. closed against them
forever. He has opened and CLOSED that
door of mercy so frequently since the strike
began that it is q wonder that the hinges
are not worn out. Perhaps the hinges are
made OF New York bosSding house beet

opening and shutting the door for tbs next
six months. Those hinges will never Wsar
out.
On the other hand, the strikers refuse 10

dollars through the mail. They also re

Of so substantial character through the
press.

number on the road before the strike. The
company is rich, and Il it wants to put up
the money it can hold out for a good while
vet. The company tried to scare the
strikers By alleging that some OF the new
drivers were Texas COW boys, but that blum
game didn't work. Texas COW boys don
talk through their noses and say Il calker-
lat" and drink ginger ale. The strikers
tonnd out in few days that the dangerous
COW bows were from the prslries OF Connec-
ticut.
On the front platform of each car stands
big policeman. AT first, the police al
lowed the strikers and their friends consid-
cradle latitude to enjoy themselves No
objection was raised 10 men calling out
scab" to the new drivers. Even the Ia
vorite pastime Of the drivers OF the cross
cars was not interfsred with. 1t consisted
principally in hitting the non-union driver
in the eve with moist quid Of tobacco
and making personal illusions to the mo
ternal ancestors of the new driver. 1t the
strikers are TO be believed, none OF the ne"
drivers are ofrespectable psrentsge.
