BRIDaEpoRr, Jan. % The situation here
10. night is unchanged, with no signs OF |
settlement In view in the trouble with
tho car strikers. The excitement of
the two days past has entirely cub
sided, and 1t now looks % It there
would be no necessity for calling out
the guards, Down at the Washington ave-
nue. stables of the Traction company,
which is the headquarters of the car
strikers, everything tonight is ~ peace
able as . country village, and only the
voices of the car strikers couuseling with
their sympathizers, the majority of whom
are members of the local trade councils,
can be heard. Tie Ansenis delegation
from the Salvation army corps, which
came here yesterday to work among
the strikers, receive a. much atten-
ton as do the labor leaders who
have come on here from New York
to take part in the situation and pre-
sent the causes of the strikers. The new
hands who were brought on here from va
rious parts of this state and New York to
run the company's cars, are stationed at
the stable of the company, and in the Inn
mediate vicinity of the strikers on Waeh-
ington avenue, and they are not molested
by the strikers In the least. In fact they
took q curious interest in the action of the
strikers at their informal meetings to night
in the vicinity of the car barns. 1t ia now
believed in this city that Governor Morris
was adverse to the plan of the Bridgeport
officials of calling out the militia, and 1t 10
understood here tonight that the governor
deemed it unwise to order ous the militia
to COVER the strikers and those In sympa-
thy with them before less dangerous
measures had been tried, and 1t was for
this reason alone that the state militia or
even the local military companies were not
ordered out of their armories. The car
drivers tonight held meetings in Sabler's
hall over on the east side, where they gave
vent to their feelings toward the Bridge.
port Traction company for their alleged
unreasonable treatment of them. Labor
leaders from Now York and representatives
from the American Federation of Labor
addressed the strikers and gave them some
advice as to the way to succeed.
The Traction company to night announc-
ed that they would attempt to run their
cars tomorrow at noon, and the first car
will be started out of the company'a
stables at 1890, and the cars will be kept
running ON schedule time all day after
that hour, unless the strikers become vio-
lent again and repeat the doings of Sun
day and destroy the company's property.
The authorities in this city, however, are
ready for such an emergency for to might
the board of police commissioners in ex
| ecutive session ordered Captain Birming-
ham to summon all the supernumerariel
| and specials on the rolls and have them re-
port for duty at police headquarters TO-
morrow at II O'Clock. There are about
seventy five of these officers, and in addi-
| ton to these Sheriff Clarkson tonight
| swore in half as many more as deputies who
| will be sent out to morrow at the same houl
| as those men who have been called out BY
| tho police department.. With this numbe,
| of officials at their back the Traction com
psny have decided to run their cars out Of
| the barns tomorrow and wait for develop
ments. Probably three deputies or ape
| Gals will ride on each car armed and fully
| prepared to meet an attack from the strik
| ers. The new men whom the railroad
company secured to run the cars to-mor
l row have been given their instructions AMI
are ready to go out with the oars. Severa
of the newcomers became frightened whs1
they heard the threats of the striker

serted and left the town.
The police tonight are having no troubl
with the strikers.
