Brooklyn, Feb. 1.-THE trolley strike.
which has lasted "a days, has cost an
enormous amount of money. Three
million dollars is considered by those
involved a moderate estimate. When
the strike started 1t was stated that
District Assembly No. rs had from $780,
900 to $4,000 in its treasury. ~About
sos, 900 was subscribed by sympathizers
All this has been spent, and the $350,000
wages the men would have earned has
been lost. The Brooklyn Heights Com
pany was the heaviest loser among the
roads. 1t is estimated to have lost di-
rectly 100000. The other systems have
lost close to 100000. The cost TO the
city and state for troops is expected to
exceed $250,00 The damage done to
cars manned by Inexperienced men is
placed at 100000, and the loss in earn
ings by the militia during their stay in
Brooklyn is cpnseryatively estimated at
$780, 900. There were many other losses
to swell the amount, in addition to the
inconvenience and suffering caused by
APPLICATIONS FOR WORK.
President Lewis of the Brooklyn
Heights Railway Company said to-
night that about 400 employees had APP
piled for work. A number of them, he
said, had been received back into the
service. He expected that the remain
der of the strikers would be on hand in
the morning, looking for positions.

GERMANY WANTS eIMETALLisM
Her Statesmen Realize That Prosperity
Depends iron 1t.

Berlin Feb. 15-Count Won Mirbach, Ger
man conservative, introduced resolu-
ton In the rechstag today nstructlng
the federal governments of Germany to Is
sue invitations for an International mon
etary congress to take measures to bring
about the rehabilitation of silver as
circulating medium Mlrbach said the
moment had now arrived for Germany
to take the initiative in settling this ques-
ton, which is of great Importance. BIZ
metalism would cause the rise of all prices
in England. where gold was the currency.
Agriculture would be ruined If the pres
ent system was maintained America
would either absorb Germanys gold or
adopt a pure silver standard and capture
the whole eastern trade. Other supporters
of the resolution Endorsed the position
that Germany had taken at the Paris mon
etary conference in 1883, namely-that she
regarded an international agreement on
the ratio between gold and silver as de-
sirable.
Count Herbert Bismarck said the fail
ure of the Brussels conference was partly
due to the absence of an entente between
the powers which took part in It.. The
Berlin congress OF 1878 arrived at that
result because Great Britain and Russia
had previously reached a basis for an
agreement. An international entente upon
the currency question would be arrived
at in the course of time and in the case
of Great Britain, the feeling was growing
| in favor of bi-metalism.
| Herr Schoenlank commended that the in
PRODUCTION Of bi-metalism would lead to
fall in the value of currency and would
promise nothing but a hopeless future to
the workingmen.
Mr. Lieber said the centrists were will
ing to support the measure because they
saw in the proposed conference an at
tempt to remove the difficulties in regard
to the monetary standard-a question
which was of paramount Importance TO
| the commercial world.
| Chancellor Won Hohenlohe declared that
he was inclined to a favorable consider
alton for an interchange of views on the
subject with those states, which We're
concerned in the silver question.

APPEAL OF pENNlLEss STRIKERS


for Recognition.
Brooklyn, Feb. 17.--In calling off the
strike of the Brooklyn Heights and the
Brooklyn, Queens County & Suburban
Railways, District Assembly No. rs is
sued the following address;
TO the Public; Acting in behalf of their
employees we presented to the officials of
the Brooklyn Heights and the Brooklyn,
Queens County & Suburban Railway Com
panes certain requests for improved con
dition of the laborers of such roads for
the year of 1895. Subsequently these re-
quests, which were never other than of
the most reasonable nature. were modified
so as to leave the companies no excuse for
failure to come to an agreement with
their employees. We have exhausted every
honorable means to effect a friendly set
Element, but the trolley officials assumed
most uncompromisng attitude and re-
fused to make a single concession in re-
Spouse to other reasonable requests. They
went further, and so far from improving
the conditions of their employees, insisted
upon terms less favorable than they had
made without protest in 1894 and previous
years. Their eXactions forced their em-
poyes to suspend labor in January. Since
then there has never been n day on which
the men have not been willing to go half
way in an endeavor to adjust amicably
a difficulty that entailed bardships on
the employees as well as incalculable loss
and inconvenience to the public
The companies have not had the same
consideration for the public, the same
spirit of compromise. They started out
to starve their employees into submission,
and they have finally succeeded. 1t has
been a fight of dollars against empty
| stomachs, and as was to have been eX-
pected, the dollars won victory, though
a dear one. Our people. after an heroic
| resistance, have at last submitted to
/ the inevitable. The military and in some
cases judicial powers have all been used to
coerce them. We desire to return our
most sincere thanks to the organs and
individuals who have in any way aided
our people during the strike, and hope our
sympathzers will never feel the power of
corporate oppression. Many of our peo-
pie still need assistance to keep the wolf
of hunger from their doors. A little from
the many will suffice, and any citizen,
society or newspaper who will help our
people in this respect will receive the best
thanks of all with the hope that the time
will yet come when equal rights will be ac-
corded to all, special privileges to none.
and that all will stand equal before the
law MARTIN CONNOLLY,
p. j. COLLINS,
w. l.. HALCOMB,
ANDREW d. BEST.
This action on the part Of the district
assembly will permit the strikers of
such roads to retutA to work, or at
least apply to be taken back The
strike against President Morton of the
Atlantic avenue line is still on.
