under arms in Brooklyn is 5000. The re-
fusal of the companies TO promise the re-
instatement of strikers were they to indl-
cate a willingness to call the fight of,
has made many of the hitherto peaccably
disposed desperate and ready TO partici-
pate in acts of violence against tho prop
erty of the corporations. Ii is possible
that the only line not hitherto involved in
the strike, known rs tho Coney Island
line, will now be brought in.
The men on the De Kalb line, who re-
sumed work on Friday under a compro-
mise with the company, may be called
out also. Acts of violence in the sup
posed interests of the strikers have been
almost continuous in one part or another
of the city during the past iS hours. Dur
ing last night trolly wires were cut in all
directions, those who performed the work
escaping detection.
Early in the day a mob blocked the Sew
enth avenue line from l2th TO 20th streets,
moving off from one place as the police or
militia approached, and congregating a

thus avoiding a collision with the repre-
sentatives of the law, while effcctually
stopping traffic for more than an hour.

that quite a number of men were trampled
under foot and some slightly wounded
by bayonets.
Twenty thousand men and boys hang
about the stations where the military is
posted and annoy the soldiers by jeering
and pelting them with stones. All night
the pickets were subject to these attacks.
Missiles flew around them from the dark
ness, and they could not retaliate.
The men now hold out only on one point
that, if the strike be declared off, all the
strikers shall be taken back and the new
employees sent back to their homes. Mayor
Schieren believes that the companies,
which now seem obdurate, will recede from
their position.
The mob at the Halsey street depot

Many of the soldiers received bad bruises
