ms afternoon and adopted special re-
port on the Brooklyn trolley strike, which
was submitted to the Legislature to-
night. They say. in part:
"A strike of the employees on the five
electric surface street railways OF the
,ity OF Brooklyn, who are members Of
District Assembly. No Is, X. of L., en-
)racing nearly all the operating force,

4th. The Coney Island and Brooklyn
Railroad Company alone effected a set
lement which enabled IL TO continue
business without interruption. This
'oard made every possible effort to set
lie the differences between the other
companies and their men, but was sue
,essful only In the case of the Brooklyn !
,ity and Newtown Railway Company
With which and its former employees an
agreement was brought about and
ontract signed, under which traffic was
esumed Thursday morning and still con- ,
inueS without interruption

trike was made, and II was ascertained
nat IL proceeded from failure on the
art OF the Executive Committee OF Dis

rOposed changes. which involved Drlnct-
ally an advance of wages from H TO :

zen, who form the bulk OF the employees {
n establishment of the proportion or ,

bseryance of the statute which pre-
,rtbes ten hours labor performed within
yelve consecutive hours on street rail-
ays as a days work. The demand Tor | s
n increase of wages was finally with | :
raWn, and the other two points OF diff )
