A Report That n Compromise Has
Been Effected.

Beem Erected.
NEW YORK, June 5.-This afternoon
FIVE cars were run over the Fourth avenue
road, driven by non union men. No effort
was made to obstruct them. These cars
were only run between the pOStOffice and
Sixteenth street. The company posted a
notice ON their stables calling for men to
fill the places of the strikers. No
cars were run on the Sixth avenue
line and no effort was made to run any.
The company had to employ men
to keep the horses from starving. One of
the Broadway cars also made "trip during
the afternoon, and was not molested. A
car on the Tenth avenue line was blocked
by sand and mud piled on the track, and
when extricated from this was again
stopped by the overturning of load of
stone on the track Several strikers were
arrested for intimidating and assaulting
drivers. The employees of the Fifth avenue
stage company struck to-day without as
signing any reason. Afterwards
they returned to work. saying that
they had been laboring under
mistake. The situation in Brooklyn is un-
changed. The Brooklyn City railroad ran
two OF three cars over its road during the
afternoon. There is nothing new in the
status of the ''tie up tonight except
rumor that conference satisfactory to the
strikers was had this evening between the
men and the railroad authorities, and that
the cars would be running again to-mor-
row. This could not be traced to any
reliable source, however. Policemen
are in charge of all the stables and
everything is quiet. The Fourth avenue
line ran some cars up to s p. m., when they
were called in. The Dry Dock line ran
couple of cars in charge of policemen. The
Third avenue line has been compelled to
increase its complement of cars ma
terially owing to the large number of addi-
tional passengers. The horses in all the
stables are being cared for. w. F. Boyle,
master workman of district assembly 4103,
was arrested at II o'clock tonight as he
was entering the headquarters of the
strikers executive board. The warrant
charged conspiracy, and it is supposed to
have been issued on the ground that Boyle
was one of those who attempted to
induce the Third avenue drivers to leave
their cars yesterday. Boyle had long
club concealed under his clothes. At mid.
night there is a rumor that the ferries will
join III the ''tie up" 1t is doubted that
such movement can be- made At 1
o'clock this morning Executive Commit
teeman O'Rourke stated that all the car
lines would resume operations in the morn
ing. The police patrol wagons have re-
turned to their stables, and this would
seem to indicate that the trouble is over.
The strikers committee held conference
with Vice-President Hart of the Third av-
enue line tonight, and the resuming of
business is supposed to be the result of that
meeting.
HUNTERS POINT, N. Y. June 5.-The
horse car line between Hunters Point and
sSteinwav was tied up at z o'clock this
morning, the men being ordered off by a
walking delegate of the Knights of Labor.
The men said they had no grievances and
merely obeyed orders not knowing why
they were issued. During the day the
officers ran one car each hour. At 9
o'clock tonight the ''tie-up" was ordered
off, and the cars started, but the men were
again called on to quit and the road lay idle
till 1870 p. H., when after a further con-
ference the cars were again started.
