 The forceful expressions in Judge Gaynor's decision as to the responsibil- ities of the trolley railroads seem to have infused new spirit into the lead CTS of the strike, who declare they are now as determined as ever in their struggle and believe they will eventu- ally be successful, but are yet willing, as from the beginning, to submit the questions at issue to arbitration.

The companies could not operate their roads if it were not for the | deceit they practiced in bringing men | here and then holding them by force | There is no reason why we cannot win. | If the men who have come on here | were not restrained by soldiers bayo- nets and pollcemen's clubs they would desert and the roads would not have a | man in the city to-day We have sent back about 800 men since the commence ment of the strike to Philadelphia, Boston and Baltimore.
