nue., Green Point, the situation today
was more serious than ever before.
Reverend Father O'Hara, who has
charge Of Green Point parish, spoke to
the new motormen and conductors who
were taking out the cars. He begged
them to leave their cars and join the
strikers.
''They will take care of you. Come
on, men; act like men and join the
strikers was mis- oft-repeated request.
And several men jumped from the
cars amid cheers from the onlo'okers.
Big crowds congregated In the vicinity
of the stables and the tracks we're OBJ
structed with barrels, boxes and refuse.
Father O'Hara.'s work.
A good deal of Stone throwing was
| done by the mob. despite the efforts Of
Father O'Hara, Who frequently en-
treated the men not to use violence. The
| police charged the moo with their
| night-stichs and the crowd fell back.
| Father O'Hara received q letter from
| Mayor Schieren sent by messenger. The
mayor said that if the disorder at
! Green Point did not cease he would at
once send the militia there On re-
ceipt of this letter Father, O'Hara went
out on the street to induce the crowd
| to disperse.

was resumed this afternoon, after
| twelve days suspension.

ated with scarcely any interruption and
little show Of hostility.

Messrs. Feeny, Robinson and Purcell,
comprising the state arbitration COM

lively declined to attend.
At $50 this afternoon, the trolley
wires that were. cut on Fulton street

wires.
An Encouraging Day.
This is the most encouraging day
we have had during the strike" said
Master Workman Thomas Murray to
the Associated Press representative.
I'VE are getting the new men away
from the railroad company as fast as
they arrive. From this morning I'M
til 8 this afternoon, we induced 20 men
to leave their posts at Ridgewood, and
SO far, today, we have rescued 30 men
at the other end of the line, to say
nothing Of the number we stopped be-
fore they reached this side of the river
from New York. We have done ali
this. remember, without any violence
or intimidation, and the newcomers in
every case have yielded willingly. We
bring them to our headquarters, warm
and feed them and furnish a ticket to
return home, no matter how far ava V
they live. They have been deceived in
coming here. They say they knew
nothing of the strike, but after getting
them here they wanted to earn enough
to get back home Some of them for
feited the money the company owes
} there they wanted to earn enough
as that"
While the reporter was talking with
the master workman, a number of non
, union men were brought in by the
strikers. One of these was a motor
man named Squires, from Baltimore.
He said he was an expert notorman,
but coming from a warm climate so
thinly clad and being compelled to feed
on red horse and punk" and sleep
ing on the floor he die not want the
, job bad enough to stay lGnger. He
said the company owed him So.
From observation the reporter found
many conductors handing in their en-
velopes On return trips without money
; What, more whitewash?" said one
; of the officials.
Yes, didn't have a passenger on the
trip" was the conductors retort.
, do you look out for passengers or
sidewalk?'' was the next question.
; me? I did not dare to look for any
, thing but my head" said the conduc-
tor.
