Strikers Advocate Moderation.
The strikers are quiet and peaceful
and advocate moderation in all cases.
A number Of non-union men arrived at
the Halsey street depot last night and
are being instructed now to handle the
cars.
The strikers do not congregate In
crowds and the men are keeping well
within bounds. The consensus of opin-
ion among them is that firm front and
a steadfast position on their part will
win the fight.
Officials of the railway companies
claim that the men are beaten and
that they can run their cars to the fun
capacity with the men they have.
