And the exact demands of the strik
crs, and the nonability of the road to
comply, are made public in the COM
pany's statement thus: The demands
substantially We're:
That the company should pay for SIX trips
that it had previously paid for seven. Ad-
ditional expense TO the company for no ad-
ditional service $50, ,95994. That the COM
pany should SO modify its regulations con-
cerning hoStlers, changers and tow
boys as to es lesson Their ai,rdso WORK ,oanr ana
Additional expense to company, 50. .O91 .O5.
That the company should regard eight
labor OH Sunday as full days work with a
full days pay. Additional expense to COM
pany. $7.O57.12. That the company make
additional provision for switching ears, car
ing for stoves etc. Additional expense to
the company, S., 600. 1t is scarcely neces-
sary to say what the outlay of an additional
$52, 1O8.12. with no corresponding return
would entail. Sworn reports sent to tho
state authoslties absolutely establish this
propositions To yield to the demand would
be to deliberately invite heavy loss, rentals
included. There was no alternative. Plainly
state d, that is the situation: The knights
said: "Stand and deliver" The company
refused to deliver.
The striking street car employees in
Brooklyn had to-day grown more bold.
The central point of operations is at the
main Offices adjoining the stables of the
Atlantic Avenue company, at Third
and Atlantic avenues. There was a
crowd of over 1000 people at this
point before 8 o'clock i'll the MORN
ing, and up to noon it kept .increas-
steadily in numbers, evidently conf
dent of not being checked thus far, and
reassured by the crowds. Their pickets
were an ugly set of men, and when a
knot would gather on the sidewalk
within their bailiwick they would come
up and gruffly order the bystanders to
move on. This was done directly under
the noses of the four policemen who
had been detailed TO keep this big mob
in order. Shortly after 8 O'Clock to-day
an Italian, coming up Third avenue,
presumably after job, was
SEIZED BY THE PICKETS.
and told to be off. He resisted and was
started down the street with vigorous
kicks. A man named COnlin, who was
spotted looking for work at Atlantic and
Fourth avenues, was tackled by live
strikers. The biggest one jumped on him
and began to pummel him. He broke
away, only to fall into the clutches of an
other of the pickets, and after being set
on by the five at once, and kicked and
broke loose and started as fast as his
legs could carry him. An applicant
for work was spotted by some OF the
mob, one man caught him by the neck
and pounded him severely, while others
looked on. Louis Thibault was knocked
down and kicked in the head. He was
carried to the hospital in an ambulance.
distractions in the shape of piles of
ashes and big boulders have been placed
on the company'S tracks. Treasurer
Frost, of the car company, said this
afternoon:
The situation is very serious and is growing
more critical every hour. Why, we are at
the mercy of the mob, and the least attempt
to run our cars, am convinced, would lead
to immediate bloodshed, if not murder. The
death Of Adams is sufficient evidence of that.

During the night the cover plates on
the automatic switch at the corner of
Atlantic and Fifth avenues were car
ried away, but whether by strikers or
not is not known. Meantime to-day the
state board of arbitration has written
the company, asking if they prefer to
arbitrate or be investigated. Mayor
Chaplin and Brig. Gen. McLeer
and the colonels of the Thirteenth and
Twenty-third regiments of Brooklyn
were in council to-day. The strikers
are demanding of the railway
commission and of Gov. Hill

says it can man its cars in two days if it
has proper police protection.

stating that the executive board would call

and decided to
REJECT THE PROPOSALS

sentatives. When the executive board called
