Brooklyn. y. Y, Jan. 25.-No decided
cs5ree for the better was noticeable in
tts trolley strike situation to-day. The
men and the companies are as far apart
ss ever. and there seems to be no imme-
i date prospect of either side weakening.
President Lewis of the Brooklyn Hights
4 Company claimed to-day that a dozen Of
4 his old hands had applied to him for their
odpositions and had been reinstated, and
he expressed the opinion that this was
The beginning OF the end, as a general
Weakening in the ranks of the strikers
nieht now be expected. The strike lead
ers emphaucally denied that any such
4 break had occurred, declaring their ranks
were just as solid now as when the trou-
Il bic began.
The strike of the linemen was materially
. extended to-day, as was evidenced by
the difficulty with which the companies
operated lines On which wires had been
4 cut or burned out. Early In the after
noon wires were cut at Fulton street and
4 Saratoga avenue on one of the main lines
+ Of the Brooklyn Hights system. Although
4 the company was at once given ample
police and military protection, no line
men had appeared up to o'clock this
/. evening, and no attempt had been made
TO repair the wires. As a consequence,
that road has been blocked all the after
noon and at present it looks as if the
blockade would hold until Monday. The
crowd in the neighborhood was large,
but orderly, and seemed to understand
that the military are there for business.
A number Of other wire cuttings were
. reported during the day on the different
lines causing more or less trouble to the
companies, but this sort of warfare on
the part Of the strikers or their sympa-
thzors was not so extensive as that Of
yesterday.
The eastern district Of Broolyn, Ridge
wood and Maspeth were the scenes Of va
rous disorder and violence to-day. Cars
were held up and stoned, and in several
cases pistol shots were fired at policemen.
