goNo ISLAND CITY, L. l.. Sept. 10
trbe special policemen employed on the
Maspeth race track are in open revolt
,,eaii,st the treatment melted out to them
Nv Sheriff James Norton. Six of the men
we're dismissed by the Sheriffs orders
last night, and it is thought that the re-
msinirg twelve men will go on strike to-
night Unless the dismissed men are re-
instated end given 81 a day instead Of
R.50, which they now receive.
The trouble among the policemen be-
gan Monday night, when Capt. Allen
handed them sealed envelopes contain
ing their salaries and Endorsed by Sheriff
Morton. The men were led to believe
that they would be paid 81 day and 81
b night each. although they admit they
entered into no agreement with the
Sheriff regarding the matter of pay
when they were appointed.
When they found that their pay for
days and nights work amounted to
only $3.50, they resolved to go on strike

THAT the Sheriff, in saying everything
would be all right was only sparring
for wind, and that he would dismiss us

places
Sure enough, he trapped six of us

The policemen speak in high terms Of
George Engeman, and say that IL 1t was
not for his kindness to the men the
race track would be left without a po-
iceman.
The dismissed policemen, with Crogan
as leader, left for Long Island City to-
day to see Sheriff Norton and demand
some redress at his hands. Crogan says
that the Sheriff is paid 81 a day by the
Racing Association for every policeman
employed ON the track.

PASSENGERS BADLY MIXED
Union Elevated Railroad Changes
Trains Without Warning.
Football Tactics Secure Seats at the
Bridge Platform.

Brooklynites who ride to and from
their homes daily on either OF the three
lines of the Union Elevated Railroad
which terminate at the bridge are
rapidly becoming eXasperatcd by the
methods. or rather the apparent lack
of system under which trains are
despatched from that point.
As one occupant of Fifth avenue
car said last night: THE Company Is
playing a practical game of tag with
the passengers" He alluded to the
manner in which the whiting throng. as
well as the guards stationed on the plat
form. kept guessing as to which side
of the station their train will start
from.
At this terminal there are two tracks,
one on either side of the central plat
form from which riders embark. on
these trains are despatched over three
separate lines, namely: Fifth avenue, TO
Bay Ridge; Lexington avenue, to East
New York, and Myrtle avenue. to Ridge
wood. Up to about a month ago the
Fifth avenue trains had departed from
the west side of the platform since the
road had been run, the other two lines
running from the opposite side.
Without preliminary notice, either by
signs or verbally, the passengers were
sides which custom had given them to
understand they were to find their proper
trains at when suddenly they were in
formed that the respective trains were
on sides opposite to the usual order of
things.
Since then. except for delays at wash
ington street, near the curve, trains have
run without causing much criticism.
Passengers had become accustomed
to the new order of things and the re-
sultant confusion from Firth and Myrtle
avenue crowds lining up at the narrow
through when a train arrives without
preliminary notice from the guard as to
which line 1t runs on.
Last night, however, the platform was
filled with wet perspiring, struggling
men, women and children, massed most
edge. Without warning the Company
had apparently returned to first princi-
pies, and neither the attendants nor the
passengers had been given an mixing.
Through the mist green light was seen
creeping into the west side of the sta
ton. The guard on that, side. looked,
rubbed his eyes and gazed again.
Then he gasped and sung out: Firth
avenue!' Across the platform surged
the crowd, fighting, and wrestling for q
scrimmage was hardly to be compared
to it. Athletic groups formed impromptu

the frail rush line on the other side
