THE STRIKE SITUATION.
EoNDoy. June 9.-There is litt!'
ohauge in the situation of the strike
here this morning. Very few roaC
cars are running. The companies say
that they have received l40O aop'ica
Sions from men who are DESTROYS OF
filling the ,laces made vacant by the
strike of the drivers and conductors
Tae companies, however, have en-
cared none of these men. Their OBJ
iect IN declining to employ the appll
cants is to give the strikers time 10 re
consider their position and return u
work. In order to prevent horses from
auiTerir q through t ele Q ng veiy o
stable men to care lor them, n nninDe
of policemen have been detailed to as
sist the companies in feeding and IL
other ways taking care OF the horses
Al Hornsey one hundred of the meI
employed about the stables have
abandoned the strike and gone back
TO work.
The road car company only started
twenty-five Of its omnibuses today
and the General Omnibus Company
vehicles are at complete stand still
The result naturally is that pirate, o
scab omnibuses, are reaping harves
of fares. The pirate buses, it shonl'
he added. are plying with the consen
,,of the omnibus employees minor union
and in addition several minor omnibu
iiues have been permitted to star
CHER vehicles, having conceded eigh
O hours of work and other terms aske
,,for by the men. Many OF the owner
or nitrate buses have sent agents Int
the provinces in order to bring int
this city as many omnibusses as pos
,sibie.
10 consequence OF the enforced idle
asss of London omnibuses the Lors
ear lines are besieged with people an
sind themselves unable to carry one
ousrter of those DESTROYS OF travelin
upon tram cars. The strikers nov
show signs OF alarm at the great In
crekse In the number OF pirate buses
and are discussing the ACCESSIBILITY
Simiting the number OF these, whic
the union will allow to ply for pa
sengers, with the idea Of putting tn
public to as much inconvenience q
possible and with view, the striker
claim, OF bringing the public to sup
port the strikers. A strong squad
police are protecting all the omnibu
company's yards. which, as usual !
all strikes, are surrounded by crowd
of loafers 10 addition to the picket
stationed there by the strikers. Th
latter keep their temper admirabl
and appear to be sanguine Of ultimat
ouccess. -.a,.
