settlement.
BROOKLYN, Jan 1s.--Still tho great
trolley strike remains unsettled, and both
che officials Of the companies and the strik-
srs claim to be sure of victory. Aside
from the breaking Of the strike on the De
KRlb and franklin Avenue lines Of the
Brooklyn ana Nowtown Railroad com
pany and the running Of few cars on the
Putnam Avenue line Of the Brooklyn
Heights Railroad company, the situation
is practically unchanged,
The terms Of settlement on the De Kalb
and franklin Avenue lines provide for q
working day Of ten hours. but the other
points asked by the strikers were not con
ceded excapt as to the number Of trip cars
to be run the number being fixed at not
more than one third the full number Of
cars on the lines.
Mayor schieren gave out statement IN
which he said =" have conferred with a
committee from the strikers and with the
railroad presidents, but we have reached
no conclusion. The officials Of the railroad
companies remain firm in the stand which
they have taken, and say that the men
may 20 back on the old agreement # they
wish to- but there viii be no treaty with
the strikers executive committee
Mayor Sohieren, while expressing a be-
lief that the strike would soon como TO an
end. seemed to think that al the efforts
| on his part were wasted He said that
President Lewis had laid tho blame OF the
stoppage Of traffic on the city. declaring
that had tho companies been afforded prop
er police protection the cars on all Of the
lines would have been running on sched.
