MORE RIOTS IN BROOKLYN.
All Efforts to Compromise Fail and the
 Outlook Is Serious.


 Outlook Is Serious.
 BROOKLYN, Jan. 8O-The strike on the Richardson street car system remains as it was the first hour of the trouble. Neither side will concede point
 The company have made no attempt to run car, ner will they do so until proper police protection is afforded them. This Commis- sioner Bell has declined to do on the ground that his force is insufficient.
 The strikers grow more restless and deter mined. They are angry that any man should stand by the company, and none of those who are taking care of the horses ill the stables dare to show his head. Five are at work at the Ninth avenue, two at the Seventh avenue and one young lad at the Fifth avenue stables. About fifteen men are working ill the stahles at Atlantic and Third avenues
 These have all to be fed but their supply of food is giving out and provisions must be sent soon to some of them or they will starve.
 Some provision was started on truck yes terday afternoon to the Ninth, Seventh and Fifth avenue stables, but got no further than the Ninth avenue stables when the strikers gathered about the mounted police escort and routed them completely, leaving the wagon to return as quickly possible to the Third ave nue stables, whence it started.
 The police in this encounter with the mob showed that they were not able to cope with the strikers, who are having everything their own way. Violence is expected to-day and the militia may have to be called out to quell a riot
 The state board of arbitration, which had been quartered at the St. George hotel since the beginning of the strike, moved on Mon day night to the Murray Hill hotel, that it might be near the strike in New York Yes terday morning Secretary Richardson of the company received this dispatch from the board in New York:
 The executive board replies to our communi- cation concerning your proposition that they submitted the same tQ the late employees, who de- clined to accept. The executive board say that heretofore at conferences with the present com pany a committee of nine employees was always present with such board and with them the president practically dealt, and they suggest such plan of conference now. Is that plan | agreeable notf Answer early as possible ct I Murray Hill hotel. New York, where we await any conference you may desire
 To this Secretary Richardson immediately | rephed tThe executive board of District | Assembly No. 75, of the Knights of Labor, ended the conference with us abruptly and without notice Monday, 2lst tnst. They have shown no desire to treat the company fairly. We decline to hold further conference with l them, as stated to your board last evening and stand on the proposition then made" This blast of defiance ended at once all chances of any compromise.
 In the afternoon Gen. James McLeer and Col John M. Partridge, of the Twenty third regiment, held private conference with Mayor Chapin at the city hall, end after thei, departure Secretary William J. Richardson Treasurer N H. Frost and Counselor Benja min F. Tracy, of the Atlantic Avenue com pany, were closeted with his honor. The outcome of either conference could not b' learned definitely, but 1t is believed arrange ments were made whereby the military could be called out at very short notice
 About o'clock | wagon loaded with pro visions for the railroad pen recently em ployed by the company at the Ninth avenue stables attempted to leave the depot at At lantic and Third avenues The wagon, whicl was guarded by ten policemen, was met b] an angry mob who stoned the police, but nom of them were seriously injured, When tn wagon finally reached the Ninth avenu stables they found that the strikers had barri caded the entrance with boxes, barrels, ct. Stone throwing began again, but fortunatel, with no serious results, and the provision were landed safely in the stables. The at tempt to furnish the employees at the othe depots of the company was abandoned for tn night
 Frederick J. Somerville, 43 years old, o No. 1,674 Fulton avenue, went to work fo the company on Saturday afternoon and lief for home in the evening. Since then nothinl has been seen of him. Yesterday his son, lad of IA, years, called at the office of the com pany and reported the disappearance
