The New York Strike Gradually Peter
ing Out-Strikers Keep Quiet.
NEv YoRk, Feb. 1.-The fourth day Of the
great surface road tie-up opened 90 quietly
that casual observer might easily have failed
10 notice that anything was smiss in the me-
ropolis. The great crowds on the Il" roads,
however, and Che absence Of cars from Broad
way told early risers that the tie-up still
on The Sd and &th-avenue lines and the Esd
street cars were running bright and early, and
broadway cars are TO be run before noon Un-
less the strikers assume a more organized op-
position than they have thus far developed t
Is not improbable that all the lines viii run
cars to-day. All the roads have notified their
OLD employees that they must return 20 worh
to-day or consider themselves discharged
MANY STRIKERS wEAk-KSKKp.
Judging from the applications for work
made by old hands yesterday, there are q great
many Of the strikers who feel very weak -kneed,
and the opinion is hazarded by well-informed
people this morning that the strike will not be
All the west-side lines were quiet this morn
ing. The only persons 10 be seen are the police
on guard and few Of the strikers pickets.
Men seeking work were not disturbed.
HAS ALL THE MEN IT WANTS.
The Sixth Avenue company claimed they had
beaten the strikers completely. The road has
employed full force OF drivers, conductors,
and stablemen. Applicants were being turned
away, the company said, all the time. full
complement of Canal-street cars will be run
to-day ON schedule time. Nesey-street cars
will not be run Just yet
Matters were quiescent at the Broadway
stables during the night. Ten cars viii be
started out to-day under police protection and
will run through TO the Battery. They will be
operated by green hands. IL their trips were
successful. other cars would then be started
out with new men. The company say they
have TO refuse applications for work.
TRYING TO TEAR Up THE TRACKS.
At midnight some drunken strikers tried 10
tear up the track at 47th street. but we're driven
of by the police. No arrests we're made. A
placard was posted last night near the Broad
way stables reading: BE on hand to fight the
scabs and policemen tomorrow"
Ihe Sth avenue road showed signs OF activ-
ity for the first time this morning. notice
was posted on the stable stating that the en-
ployes of the company must report for work
to-day or consider themselves discharged. IN
the men do not turn up new hands will be en-
ployed. But few applications for work have
been received. II the old men do not report
for work to-day the company will not start
cars.
WAITING FOR POLICE AID.
At the Belt line stables, the scene Of yester-
days rioting, everything was peaceful this
morning. There were disturbances here and
no cars would be run, according to the COM
pany, until the police could guarantee them
protection. When the police get the other
roads running they will concentrate their
forces on the Belt line, and an effort will be
made to run cars. The company has offered a
reward Tor the arrest and conviction Of any
person obstructing or injuring their cars or
property, or any person assaulting Its en-
ployes at any time within thirty days.
SIXTH AVENUE CARS RUNNING.
The first car on the 9th avenue road left the
stables at $40 and went to Canal street II met
with no interference and got back at O'Clock
Police officers manned the car and passengers
got on and of during the trip. The second
car made the trip to vesey street
and back without meeting any obstruc-
car since the trouble. The cars
were manned by green hands, who were
greeted with uncomplimentary remarks. At
10 O'Clock the 9th avenue road had twenty cars
In operation TO Canal street and thirty TO
Nesey street. The complement of Canal street
cars is only four short. The cars are all run
ming on schedule time and meeting no trouble.
Every car has its average quota of passengers.
The police still guard the stables, but have
nothing to do. On 9th avenue there is nothing
to show that strike is in progress.
BROADWAY CARS ALSO RESUME.
The first Broadway car left the stables for
the Battery about 9 o'clock 1t is intended TO
run thirty cars to-day from ten 10 fifteen min
utes apart The stables are heavily guarded
by police officers, some Of whom also accom-
pany the cars. The trips are made by new
men without any interference other than hay-
| ing vile epithets hurled at them About two
hundred and fifty new hands have been en-
ployed so far. This includes drivers
conductors and stable-men. The full
force required is l,lO0 men. New hands
aie applying all the time and are being taken
on. They are put to work at once. The pecu-
liar feature of the situation on the West Side is
the absence of strikers from the scene. Cars
were running all right at 1890 am. on the
Sixth Avenue and Broadway lines with no
| signs of disturbance. There is nothing doing
on the Eighth and Ninth Avenue roads or ON
| the Belt line at 10th avenue. 1t is not prob
| able that any of these three roads will try 20
| run cars to-day.
