In New York Of short DurAtIon--ytreet Cnr
Traffic Resumed,
NEW York, June 5.-Last night, in
view Of the failure Of supplies for the
Third avenue strikers, District Assembly
rs, representing the horse railroad EN-.
ployes Of this and adjacent cities, was
called together again. At o'clock this
morning resolution was passed approy.
ing Of the conduct OF the Third avenue
strike, and ordering that 1t should be con.
tinued. Ways aud means OF providing
money TO support the strikers were dis.
cussed, and 1t was then decided to order
another tie-up on all the street car lines Of
this city and Brooklyn. AT 4 o'clock this
morning the cars on all the lines In this
city, with the exception Of those on the
Third avenue, which is run by non.union
men, were stopped. All the street car
lines In Brooklyn, Jersey City and Hobo.
ken were also tied up.
A singular bit Of inside history in con.
neetion with the street car troubles is that
after the first strike scheme was set on
foot TO bring about pooling arrangement
by which all the companies should stand
together against future demands OF the
men, and should unite In furnishing
financial assistance to any company whose
men went on a strike. All the companies
were agreeable except the Third avenue,
and chief owner Swart OF that road OBJ.
jected, on the ground that he didn't sec
why he should give any Of hls hard.earned
money TO help other people out OF trouble.
On account oil the Third avenue refusing
10 come In, the scheme was abandoned.
A few days later the Third avenue men
struck, a2d that company has been losing
panies have Rloated gleefully over the in.
creasing shekels that came 10 them. Now,
however, the tables are turned. The
strikers, In order 10 punish the Third
avenue line, have tied up all the other
lines. The Third avenue, with its force
OF rion.union men, is running every car
It has or can get, and making money hand
over fist, while the other lines
cannot move car. The Btrik.
ers say that the tle.up will last
until the other conpany's compel the
Third avenue 10 take It's men back, and
as the longer 1t lasts the more money the
Third avenue will make, II is altogether
probable that the other companies will
have worry nice time in inducing II to
surrender.
Jay Gould's recent reduction Of fares on
the Second and Ninth avenue elevated
lines 10 3 cents a day, indicates the pre-.
SenCe Of his able finger In tho pie.

day, and said that he would like 10 run
some cars Under police protection. He
thought II would be necessary 10 have a
policeman on every block along the route
II not one on every car. Superintendent
Campbell said he could not possibly do II,
as the strike was general, and " was nee.
esBsafy to distribute the force 30 that the
greatest good might bs accomplished
should trouble arise.
A press dispatch says. At O'Clock
this morning Executive Committeeman
O'Rourke stated that all the cat lines
would resume operstions in the morning.
The police patrol wagons have returned TO
their stables, and this would seem 10 indi.
cate that the trouble Is over. The strikers
committee held 0 conference with Vice
President Hart, Of the Third Avenue line,
tonight, and the reaumlhg Of business is
supposed TO be the result Of that meeting.
