various lines to feed and water the horses
IN the different stables; that the strikers
would drive car over the roads OF either
or all of the lines which had come to the
terms made by the men, go that the char
ter of the roads would not be jeopar-

mittee appointed to feed and water the
horses in the stables was that the men ap-
pointed to care for horses of the Broadway
Company, but were from another line
This plan was followed in all OF the stables.
