| strikers.
They will take care OF you; come
on, act like men and join tina strikers
was his oft-repeated request, and sev-
eral men jumped from the cars amid
cheers from the onlookers. Big crowds
congregated in the vicinity of the sta
bles, and the tracks were obstructed
with barrels, boxes and refuse. A good
deal OF stone throwing was done by the
mob, despite the efforts of Father
O'Hara, who frequently sntreated the
mob not to use violence. The police
charged the mob with their night sticks
and the crowd fell back.
Father O'Hara received a letter from
the mayor by q messenger. The mayor
said that If the disorder at Green Point
did not cease he would at once send the
militia there. On receipt of this letter
Father O'Hara went out on the street
to induce the crowd to disperse.

Traffic on the Hamilton avenue line
was resumed this afternoon after IL

whom they examined as to the cause
and status of the strike. The commit.
tee also cent note to Mayor Sohierer,
requesting the presence OF that official

afternoon the trolley wires that were cut
on Fulton street, near Saratoga avenue.
at 40 were fixed, and the cars that had
been stalled on both tracks for four
hours proceeded. Guards from the
Seventy frat regiment preserved order
while the men were at work repairing
the wires.
AN ENCOURAGING DAY.
"This is the most encouraging day we
have had during the strike," said Mas
ter Workman Murray to an Associated
Press representative. 1--WE are getting
the new men away from the railroad
company as fast as they arrive. From 9
o'clock this morning until 3 o'clock this
afternoon we induced 20 men to leave
their poets at Ridgeway, and SO far to-
day we have rescued 80 men at the other
end of the line, to say nothing of the
number we stopped before they reached
this side of the river for New York. We
have done all this. remember, without
any violence or intimidation, and the
newcomers in every case have yielded
willingly. We bring them to our head
quarters, warm and feed them and fur-
nish ticket to return home, no matter
how far away they live. They have
been deceived in coming here. They
cay they knew nothing of the strike, but
after getting them here they wanted to
earn enough to get back home. Some
OF them forfeited the money the compa-
ny owes them, and are glad to get off so
easy az that"
STRIKERS RECRUITS.
While the reporter was talking with
the master workman a number of nom
union men were brought in by the
strikers. One OF these was q motorman
named Squires from Baltimore. He
said he was an expert motorman but
came from that warm climate 30 thinly
clad and being compelled to feed on
cred horse and punk" and sleeping on
the floor, he did not want the job bad
enough TO stay longer. He said the

ton the reporter found many con-
ductors handing in their envelopes on
the return trips without money.
"Whai. more whitewash ?" said one
of the officials.
"Yes. did not have passenger on the
trip" was the conductors retort.
do you look out for passengers on
the sidewalk ?" was the next question.
me? did not dare to look for any
thing but ahead" said the conductor.
The blockade at the corner of Green
Point avenue and Franklin street was
raised at 6 80 by q crowd Of men sent
down from the depot OF the Green
Point and Myrtle avenue station. Quiet
has been restored in Green Point, but it
ia doubtful il the road will run cars to-
morrow with the protection OF the mill
tary. Every one that went out today
returned in very badly damaged con-
dition.

from President Lewis of the Brooklyn
Heights railroad protesting at his fail

porters that the strike might be called
