IN THE EVENING.
No Disturbances Reported and
Everything Is Quiet.

The evening was a quiet one in all re-
spects, so far as the strikers were con-
cerned. There were not more than 10
OF IL of them on the street. But the
streets were lined with SympathiZers
and others who had been attracted out

abandoned On Sixth street, on the Fourth
avenue line, was drawn out to the
Twenty-second street barn by the patrol
wagon, the same as the other one was
late i'll the afternoon. As the horses
the car, they were followed by crowd
of BOYS and young men. who laughed
and cracked jokes at the twelve police
men having the car in charge. When
the barn was reached, there was a
small crowd of strikers there. Tney
made no demonstration of any sort.
Instead they took hold of the car
and helped run it into the barn.
where it was left for the night.
At the various stables and car barns
throughout the city there was perfect

Speeches were made in which the
street car company came in for a num-

men who might possibly be tempted to
take the strikers places were asked to
refuse to take positions in the name of
justice and humanity. The executive
committee of the union also held
meeting during the evening. and came
to the conclusion that matters looked
hopeful for them.
At the meeting at Labor Temple it
was decided to hold a mass meeting
