New YORK, Jan. 29.-The Sixth Ave-
nue. line managed to get cars over their
route at intervals of from fifteen to
twenty minutes to-day, each car being
guarded by four police officers. These
cars met with numerous distractions
and the police were kept busy in clear
ing the way and in dispensing the
crowds of strikers, who gathered in
threatening manner at various points
along the route. At about 2 o'clock the
crowd at Thirty-ninth street overturned
peddler' swagonin front of an approach
ing car. This cased a good deal of ex-
element and some delay. but the po-
licemen succeeded in driving the crowd
away, after arresting the ringleader.
Another arrest was made at Thirty
fourth street, where the track had been
Distracted by large truck being placed
across it. Three other arrests OF strik-
ers charged with rioting were made dur
the day. At 4 p. IN. the company de-
cided to suspend operations for
the day, and no more cars were sent out
of the depot. The Fourth avenue line
only succeeded In getting two cars over
its road during the day. The strikers
of this line were much more demOnstra-
tive than those of the other roads. and
very serious trouble was threatened.
At Twenty-third street the strikers
unhitched the horses from cross
town car and then overturned the car
across the Fourth avenue tracks. This
obstruction was removed with great diff
ficulty by the policemen. The mob at
tempted to drive the officers away, but
were compelled to succumb to the free
use of clubs by the policemen. Capt.
Ryan arrested the ringleader of this
crowd and was Immediately surrounded
by hundred men bent on reScuing
their leader. The captain drew his re-
volver and gave warning that he would
shoot dead the first man who interfered
with him. He then succeeded in get
ting his prisoner to the station house
without further interference. The Off
GERS of the compony claimed TO be salts
fed with their days work in
getting the two cars over the route and
no others were sent out. The presi-
dents of several of the roads renewed
their demands upon the mayor for po-
lice protection. Master Workman Ma

noon and complained that the police
officers were too officious in
their opposition to the strik-
ers. The mayor stated that
the police department were responsible
for The preservation of order, and that
he was satisfied that they were acting
with discretion, and would hot exceed
their authority. No attempt was made
by any of the companies to run
cars after dark, but most of them
will renew their efforts to OPP
crate their roads tomorrow morning.
The officers of the Fourth Avenue CONF
pany say they will run on schedule time
tomorrow. Up to midnight there had
been no disturbance of any kind in con-
nection with the street car tie-up in this
city. A wagon containing non-union
men in Brooklyn was stoned, but no
serious damage was done. The coroner's
jury has found that the death of Adams,
the Brooklyn stable man, was acct
