Brooklyn, Jan. 2.--There is greater
public confidence in the maintenance
Of public order today than on any day
since the strike commenced The city
is about free from the vague terrorism
of nameless deeds by mobs' which kept
the public mind at high tension, and
served to increase the danger of seri-
Gus collisions and outbreaks. The
mere rowdyism (which is looking for
trouble and wants TO destroy property
from wantonness has been pretty we'll
suppressed. 1t has been demonstrated
10 those characters that the militia
will shoot to kill if necessary to sup
press lawlessness.
Another abortiVe attempt was made
on behalf of the strikers to induce the
trolley officials to submit to anbitra-
Ifon.. The proposition. which twas sub
nitted to President Norton OF the At
7fntic Avenue company, was fatty re-
fused by him.
Men VIII Lose.
mn The refusal indicates that the COM
panles feel no abatement of confidence
that they will win. The success with
which the Atlantic Avenue company
0las met in its efforts 10 operate lines
undoubtedly had its inf1uen.zs on Presi-
dent Morton in this matter. That the
strikers made tine overture after being
several times repulsed in the same
quarter, may, he regarded as indicating
that they have lost some confidence
and are anxious for peace. Indeed, il
is alleged. that for three days, the
slightest hope has been that they might
be able to extort from the companies
the concession that those who aban-
doned their cars ten days ago should
DE reinstated and that the new hands
brought here to take their places Zoe
discharged.
When IL was found that the linemer

They are under contracts with the com

In isolated cases crews have refused
10 take orders to repair wires which
have been cut by the strikers friends
As a class, however, they remain loya
