The Blockade In New York Partially
Raised-Fflling the Strikers Places.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3l.-This, the third day of
the strike, opened the same as yesterday. The
situation of affairs is yet unchanged. The two
days stoppage of the cars cost the strikers
$4,000, and the stockholders of the roads
about 5000 To-day the Belt line and the
Broadway line, which have not had car on the
road since the strike, have made arrange
ments to run cars over their roads. The
Fourth avenue railroad has decided to run
nifty cars to-day. The Second avenue road will
also make its first attempt to-day to run car.
The Forty-second street road will also try to run
Its cross-town cars. The Grand street line will
also attempt to run cars to-day. The Forty
second street and Grand street ferry line will
try TO operate ten or twelve cars.
FEW OF THE STRIKERS ASK FOR WORK.
Quietness reigned at all the east and west
side stables during the night, but each stable
was guarded by police officers in case of any
trouble
There were many applicants for work at the
Sixth avenue stables this morning. They were
nearly all green hands. But few of the strikers
have made applications so far. 1t is said that
over 500 applicants had asked to be put to work.
1t was thought they would start car about
$50 and as many cars would be sent out as
could be oficered
The Broadway line will send out as many
cars can be protected.
No attempts will be made to-day to run cars
on either the Eighth or Ninth avenue roads.
The officers of these roads say they will await
the result elsewhere before doing anything.
WHERE TROUBLE Is LOOKED FOR.
1t is feared that there will be trouble at the
Belt line to-day. The men are congregating
thickly at the stables and exhibit an ugly dis
position. They are encouraged by the unsuc-
cessful attempt of the company to run a car
yesterday. They threatened this morning to
throw the first car bodily into the river with all
on board. Many of the men have become
lighting drunk" An attempt will be made
by this road to run out cars to-day.
GUARDING AN ARSENAL.
On account of a rumor that an attack was be-
ing arranged by the strikers for the purpose of
securing arms from the state arsenal, 7th
avenue and 35th street. a squad of twenty men
from the second battery have been detailed
under Lieut.. Parco to watch the arsenal until
the strike is ended.
A detail Of ten men was also placed in charge
OF the armory of the second battery to protect
the Calling guns that are kept there. The
same reserve force is kept at police headquar-
tiers as yesterday, and the same general police
precautions are maintained.
ALL SERENE ON THIRD AVENUE
The Sd avenue cars are running SO nicely
car.
little excitement was caused by the sus-
pension of an effigy from the fire-escape of "a
tenement house near the Broadway and 7th
avenue depot at about o'clock, After a crowd
had collected in sight it was set on fire. In
spector Steers had it taken down. The 23d
street line had its regular number Of cars run
ming at 10 O'Clock,
EIGHTH AVENUE MEN EXPECTED TO GIVE IN.
1t was rumored this morning that the sth
avenue men would probably return to work to-
day. Only few of them had asked for work
up to 10 o'clock. but the superintendent was
ually, and some of them will probably be re-
engaged if they sign a paper agreeing to work
Independently of unions.
BROADWAY CARS STARTED.
At 10 o'clock the first Broadway car was
started. 1t was not one of the newest cars, for
there was no telling what might be its fate.
Inspector Steers scattered his men both sides
of Broadway as far down as 42d street, but they
had nothing to do but to watch the car as Il
proceeded quietly down town. The strikers
paid no attention to it whatever.
CAN GET ALL THE MEN THEY NEED.
The 4th avenue cars began to run at $780,
By noon thirty-fve cars were running, and it
was expected that number would be sufficient
to accommodate the traffic. The superintend-
ent of this line says they have had no trouble
in getting all the conductors, drivers and sta
blemen they need at present, and that it is
their intention to pay no further attention to
the strikers, except as they come to them indi-
vidually to apply for work.
Twelve cars were running on the Grand
street cross-town line this morning. INSPECTOR
Byrnes was on duty there, but he had nothing
to do up to noon except to keep men on each
outgoing car. He expressed his opinion to a
reporter to the effect that the backbone of the
strike had been broken. Four mounted
policemen are ON duty along the
summon the reserves from police headquarters
in case of a riot. Police patrols are also kept
in motion along the Grand street line These
extra precautions are being taken on account
Of a rumor that the strikers would make that
line an objective point to-day. President White
says that the company
WILL MAKE NO CONCESSIONS
to the strikers. They have all the men they
want at present and will only take the best of
the old hands back and under pledge of disso-
citation from the unions. President White says
he believes the strike was organized solely to
crafty the ambition of Mr.. Jas. McGee and
other leaders.
STRIKERS REFUSED PERMIT TO PARADE.
A committee from the Broadway line strikers
had the assurance to call on Superintendent
Murray this morning and ask for permit to
allow 1000 of them to parade down Broadway
to the mayors office. The superintendent
dryly remarked that this was not a time for
paraders, and promptly refused to grant the
permit.
