ZION and the Third avenue railroad strik-
srs, at Eighly.seventh street and Fourth
avenue, adjourned at about three clock
this morning, withou: hsvirg taken any
action toward ending the strike or forcing
the company to terms. Tne subjact Of
another general tic-lp was discussed for
hours but the Executive COMMITTEES Of the
EmU; g Protective Association decided al
the hour Of adjournment not to take
that step to day, The position CT
the Second avenue employees, who objected
TO being ordered out again, had some et.
tcct in preventing the oEdeF from being
issued. A prominent Knight OF Labor, o
member OF District Assembly No. 10, OF
BROOKLYN, told reporter lQat evening that
there was q serious revolt in the Order in
regard to the foolish manner in which the
presen. strike has been conducted, and
that loud demands were being made tor
the removal OF o Donnell, Best and james
Graham from the Executive Committee Of
the Empire Protective association. Their
action in tieiug up sll the roads in this
eitv is cosdsmnsd by all the sober heads
otthe organization, who think that the Or.
der has been sc: back several years in its
work by ths doings Of these three men dur.
ing the past week
The reporter informant also said that
the boasts OF G Qounell and Best that they
would tie up in Brooklyn, Philadelphia
and Boston, in addition to stopping the
cars IN this city, and then take the men Oft
the ferry boats, elevated roads and bridge
cars, were idle cnes. They would do so
al the risk Of being expelled from the uu
ION They had been warned already, the
Knight said, that they had shown them
selves to be incapable OF conducting big
railroad strike, and any further evidence Of
iucapaeity would be brought to the after:
ZION of higher officials even than them
selves.
james Graham, when told Of this state,
msnt last eyeuing, denied that any cen.
plants had been made iu regard to the
conduct of the present strike or the actions
of the Executive Committee He would
not deny that 9 meeting had been held
since Tuesday, at which some hot words
we're spoken by some mem )e,s. but they
we're n minority of those present aud their
views were not adopted. He added that
the strikers had made their last attempt to
srbitrsto With the Third avenue railroad
The strike would os continued, and il nee
esssry every driver and conductor In this
city and Brooklyn would be taken from bis
ear. ard the elevated roads and ferry boats
! would he stopped, so that the public could
see whether the iahor;ny men had any
| power or not.
Although the Elevated road employees
have repeatedly and Persistently denied
| that they we're organized or GpenGble tc
the orders Of the Knights of Labor, the
presence of delegation at the meeting
