This is how Martin j. Connolly and Andrew ~
Best Of the Executive Board Of District Assem-
bly, No. Tj, X. OF L., addressed the striking troll
Icy men In Brooklyn yesterday while trying to
cover their retreat after the most disastrous de-
feat In the history of the organization. In spite
OF the refusal of the Executive Board TO declare
the strike off and Its despairing appeals to
the men to stand firm. there was big
rush of the old employees to tho rail-
road Offices yesterday morning, and be-
fore noon over 100 applications had been
received by the Brooklyn Heights Company.
Some OF the men were put to work at once and
the Others were all placed on the waiting list
and will get back just as soon us vacancies Oc-

men were also restored to their places, on the
Atlantic avenue lines, but rs President Norton

struggle has had the effect Of renewing violent
outbreaks on the part Of the strikers and their
sympathizers, ana on "Wednesday night and all
day yesterday there were evidences that hostile
demonstrations against the cars were prevented

new motormen and conductors were not only
subjected TO insulting remarks. but In
many cases they were pc!tcd with snowbsls in
which stones were imbedded. There VIII not

crushed out, and no one in authority Will be the
least frightened by Master Workman tunnel-

state the calling out OF the troops again
