LYN, JERSEY CITY AND HoBoKEN HAVE
CEASED RUNNING, BY ORDER OF THE
COMMITTEE.
New York, June 5-Last night, IN
view of the failure of supplies for the
Third avenue strikers, district assembly |
rs, representing the horse railroad en-
ployes of this and adjacent cities, was
called together again. 1t met in Colum-
bia hall, First avenu and Sixty-sixth
streets. Detectives were around the hall
and the strikers sent messengers to
warn the members of the executive com
mittee to keep out of the way.
From this it was evident that the or
dering of another tie up was under con
sideration and it was desired that the
official heads OF the organization should
take no open part IN the proceedings
and thus avoid Indictment by the grand
jury. The assembly was still in session
at one O'Clock this morning, when
it war announced that q resolution had
been passed approving of the conduct of
the Third avenue strike and ordering it
continued. Ways and means of provid-
ing money for the strikers were dis
cussed. 1T was then decided to order
ANOTHER GENERAL TIE UP
on all the street car lines Of this city and
Brooklyn after four o'clock this morn
ing.
The cars on all lines of this
city with the exception of those
on Third avenue, which are run by non-
union men. were stopped. All the
street car lines in Brooklyn, Jersey
City and Hoboken are tied up.
This is the third time in the first half
of the year that all surface roads in the
city have been tied up. This time the
tie up includes not only Brooklyn, but
all Jersey City roads as we'll.
1t was remarked yesterday by one of
the executive board of the Empire
association that the proceedings of the
board had been made too public. He
promised the reporters that fereafter
they would not be able to anticipate the
action of the board. He said the next
district meeting of the board would be
held some place where it would not be
found by the reporters.
T THE THIRD AyENUE ROAD.
The action by the board is said to be
unanimously approved OF by the men.
They say they lave done this to force
tho Third avenue road, through the
Intervention of other companies.
to come to terms and
declare thst a fight will be forced all
along the line. The old story of q COM
bination between the car companies is
reported again as one cause Of the strike.
The blow struck was sudden and crash
ing. One policeman along the streets
this morning hailed it as q short and
decisive settling Of a long strike, which
had wore on thsir strength for nearly
two. months.
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
was posted on the facts early and by
Six a. m. every depot was guarded by
details of police. The drivers and other
employees worked through the night as
usual until time for the first day cars TO
run in the morning. At the Grand
street depot Of the Dry Dock lines, the
scene of the fierce riot and confusion of
March last, the night cars finished their
trips at $50 .. NJ. Half an hour earlier
the day cars were to begin their trips.
The men did not appear for work and
the assistant superintendent went down
and Yves told of the order for q tie up, He
merely asked if there were any griey-
ances among the men and
was told there were not--that
they were ordered to stop work by the
board. He then notified the superinten-
dent OF the stabIemen, who left to care
for the horses.

of tie Third avenue non-anion men have
left the company and that only about
eighty drivers are left in the service Of
