A mass meeting was held tonight of
the car drivers OF the various lines
OF this city who organized as

tton and are seeking to get the same pay
ana hours for the drivers OF the Dry DOCK,
East Broadway and Battery lines as has
been granted the Third and Fourth ave-
nue. lines, namely: 81 per day for II hours
work. The committee reported to the
meeting that they considered a gen.
eral ''tie up' at O'Clock Friday morning
the best means OF solving the dihculty,
and the report being adopted the "tIe up"
Will be put in force Friday morning. The
sixth avenue line, after they tie up, VIII
not again go to work unless they get " %
per day, the same as the Eighth avenue
line, and the Seventh avenue and Broad
way line want as much.
THE GROSS TOWN DRIVERS.
The car drivers of the cross town lines
met tonight, and addresses were made
urging the men to bold together. One of
the men said: alt took 1,200 policemen to
run one car across to-day. Does that look
encouraging for the company We have
the power, and will decide tomorrow
whether to tie up" Another officer said
that not only the surface roads, but the
elevated roads and Brooklyn and Jersey
City ferries would stop running to-mor-
row night. The men are determined to
hold out.
Patrick j. Walsh, who claims to
be an insurance agent, was ar
rested on complaint of the car drivers
Of the Broadway line. He IS charged
with representing himself as one of the
executive committee OF the Empire Pro-
tective Association, aud using his pre-
tended authority in ordering number OF
drivers on the Broadway road to ''tie up"
and quit work when they reached the de-
pot. Walsh boarded the cars at Forty
second and FOrty-seyenth streets and gave
instructions which be SAID came from the
association. The consequence was that
number of cars were tied up between 4:l5
and 6:l5 O'Clock this afternoon, when it
was discovered that w alsh was not what
he pretended to be, and be was arrested.
BUT FEW ARRESTS MADE.
The police made but very few arrests,
and these were for the most part dis
charged, explaining that they were caught
in the crowds while attending to their
usual business, and only "gOt free when
captured and dubbed by the police"
William Richardson, who controls the
cross-tOwn line, is also the principal
owner of the car lines stopped in Brooklyn
because of the strike. These lines are the
Atlantic avenue. Fifth avenue. Seventh
avenue, and BoOrum street. These lines
tap all the ferries to New York, and
three of them-the Fifth and Seventh ave-
nues and BOOrum street lines-cOnnect
with the bridge.
THE ATTEMPTS IN BROOKLYN.
Two attempts were made to start the
cars in Brooklyn this afternoon. A car
in which was Mr.. Richardson himself and
| a detachment OF police, after many mis-
haps and considerable clubbing, made its
way from the Fifth avenue stables to the
ferry. The job with the other cars was
abandoned Before it had been run 20
feet from the Seventh avenue depot a
mass of railroad iron efectually blocked
