TEN-H0UR LAW THE CAUSE.

NEW YORK, July I7.-Another troll
ley strike is on in Brooklyn. So far
it has not been as effective as the
!. strike of 1895, but there is no telling
how long or how far-reaching it may
become. For some weeks past the
employees of the several lines con-
trolled by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
company have been complaining that
the management did not live up to
the ten hour law The men demand
revision of the time tables at the diff
ferent barns, and also claim that they
should be paid 20 cents an hour for
overtime, which is equivalent to s.
day, the price which they set for a
working day of ten hours. Meetings
have been held daily and nightly for
the last week, and it was inferred
from the reports given out by the en-
ployes and their advisers since Thurs
day last that, while a strike was i'm
minent, it would not occur for some
days to come.
General Mister Workman Parson
and District Master Workman Pines
had charge of the mems affairs, and a
strike was called at 4:3O yesterday
Inorning. At that hour most of the
rcotormen and conductors on the
Brooklyn Traction company's lines
had completed their night trips, and
the leaders decided that this was the
most opportune moment to begin
what was expected to be stubborn
fight with the Traction company.
A heavy rain storm was in progress
at this time, and there was very little
passenger traffic. The Smith street,
Franklin avenue and Hamilton Ferry
lines, which are controlled by the
Coney Island Railroad company, hav-
ing maintained the regular terms
with their employees, were not impeded
in the least but on all other roads
transportation was stopped for awhile,
and a good deal of congestion occurred
in consequence.
i President Rossiter of the street car
said shortly after noon over SO per
cent of the old hands were at work on
these lines. Later in the afternoon
the cars on the latter roads were rum
ming at intervals of ten minutes, which
meant that the service was crippled
about one-third.
Throughout the afternoon boulders
and large pieces of granite were taken
from nearbp yard and placed on the
tracks in the vicinity of Greenwood
cemetery, and the cars came along at
intervals of twenty and thirty min
utes, their further progress was con-
siderably delayed until these obstruc-
items were removed No sooner did
the cars pass than the boulders were
lid on the tracks again and the po-
lice were unable to stop the efforts of
the obstrucLionists.
Several arrests were made during
the day among the ranks of the strik-
ers and their sympathizers-
President Rossiter said that the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit officials would
not arbitrate the strike difficulty with
their striking employees.
