Many Encounters Between the Police and

New YORK, Jan. 3i.--New Workers are still
compelled TO foot it--at least that portion of
them whose places of business are located in
the districts remote from the elevated roads.
The Twenty third street line has been tied up,
and it is reported that the Bleecker street
road will soon be tied UP, too.
Superintendent Moore of the Sixth Avenue
company informed the United Press reporter
that the company would attempt to run ell
the cars it could man. On some of the street
corners all along the line of the road a few
strikers were assembled discussing the outlook.
AT the stables of the Broadway and Seventh
Avenue Railway company all was quiet. OF
course there were knots of strikers here and
there in the vicinity and along the side streets,
but the interference of the police had not been
called for Posted on the window of the
starters office was the following notice:
"An employees of this company who do not
report for duty ON the 30th inst before noon
viii be discharged and paid off on the 8lst.
Those who do report viii be given employ
ment in the usual course of business, and viii
be given full protection in the discharge of
their work. This notice is signed by Super
intendent Newell
The utmost good feeling seems to exist be-
tween the police and strikers and it is not an
uncommon sight to see the blue coats discuss
ing the situation with the men. All was
quiet at the stables Of the east side roads, no
attempts being made by the strikers TO cause
any trouble
At the stables of the Grand street cross
town line Inspector Byrnes was on hand at Z
o'clock with a large force of men ready to
help Superintendent White to run his first car
across town. At 7:24 car 152, under the con-
troll of Driver John ID. Brodie and Conductor
Dangus, escorted by roundsman and four
policemen, left the stables and proceeded to
the ferry at the foot of Grand street The
car was soon filled with passengers, mostly
ladies' and was Immediately started on its
way across town TO Desbrosses street ferry.
At Goerck street a stop had to be made to re-
move a large double truck which had been
thrown across the track A crowd of about
500 people gathered around the officers while
they We're lifting the truck, and several bricks
flew through the air in the direction of the
car
Affairs began to look pretty ugly, and mis-
chief would have probably been done had not
Inspector Byrnes put in an appearance, driv-
ing the companys wrecling wagon, in which
We're seated a score of policemen. One arrest
was made, and the wagon returned to the
stable, while the car proceeded on it way minus
many of its lady passengers. Over fifty of
the strikers followed the car ON its way across
town, but no further trouble was encountered
on the way to the Desbrosses street ferry.
The return trip was begun with six passen-
gers. Everything went smoothly until MAX
ing the turn into Grand street, where a truck
was found to have been placed across the
track. 1t was removed without any trouble.
