New Yong. Aug. 23.-On the black
board inside OF the starters room OF the
Broadway and Seventh Avenue Horse
railroad Offices on the corner Of Fifteenth
street and Seventh Avenue was last week
a notice that on Monday (to-dsy) q
new timetable would go into effect, and

on the lookout for il. The men were
wstchful. On Saturday morning, In the
employe room, was hung q new schedule
that called for six trips on Battery, IN
stead of the five that they had been max
ing, The time table was so arranged that
six trips were TO be done in the IL hours
allowed by law. To effect this in many
cases the hour for starting on the first
trip was set much earlier than before, and
the time for starting on the last trip was
set much later. The law takes no account
of the time between the trips. Local a.
semblymen met on Saturday evening. and
the new table was discussed. They met
after midnight last night in the same ball.
and at 1:3O o'clock this morning decided
to tie up the Broadway line at once, and
no cars on that route are running this
morning. One OF the Broadway conduc.
tors said that though the new schedule in
creased the trips from five to six. and
heightened out the day greatly, IL did not
raise the mems pay.
