Master workman Parsons ut Meet
ing Yesterday Favored Organizing II
New Labor Party.

New York, July 2S,--The trolley car
strike, both in Manhattan and Brook
lyn, seems to be practically at an emu
Grand Master Workman Parsona says
1t is not, and to- day at meeting OF the
Central Federated union he launched a
scheme for new labor political party
and at the same time urged upon the
delegates of the various trades unions III
greater New York the eXpediency of
contributing to fund to aid the strik-
ers, and the delegates promised thelr
financial support This is Is pronaply
that causes General Master Workman
Parsons and District Master Workman
Pines to promise important develop
ments in the strike situation this week.
1t is a fact however, that both yester-
DAY and to-day cars were being run uli-
der almost normal headWay on all INES
except the Nassau throughout Brooklyn,
even to the various branches, and car
rying large numbers of passengers.
In New York, except for the presence
of several hundred policemen on zee
ond avenue and guards about the Vari-
Gus power houses, a strike would be out
'INN''
Law in the trolley car service in Man
haitian to-day on any line, with the ex-
ception of the Second avenue line and
that Id affected but little.
1t is stated by the police officials that
tomorrow or Tuesday most of the po-
lice who have been guarding the prop
erty of the railroad companies Will be
Withdrawn The fact that cars wereNrun
on all the lines on good headway shows
that the strike is practically dead To
the seaside resorts traffic was more gen
eral than it was last Sunday, but. the
public did not take advantage of the
service probably owing to the
fear of possible disturbances and out
RACES which have so far marked the af-
termath of the strike.
Strike leaders admit that the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit company ran more
cars to the seaside resorts to-day than
on any day since the strike was declar-
ed President Rossiter was jubilant
before leaving for Cold Spring,
and reiterated the statement that the
strike practically was over. He said:
The strike has occasoned considerable
rouble, of course, and has been very ex-
oensive to our company, but | am glad |
% say that nearly all the lines Were able |
o run to-day on regular schedule time. |
The strikers have prded themselves on |
he fact that they had been able to tie |
Up traffic to Coney Island, but they |
'annot boast of that now, for tomorrow |
We will be able to carry all passengers
who want to go to the island or other
escorts near the sea. ] am sorry for the
nen who We're led astray by profession
Il agitators. I am still willing to take
Jack the men who left their positions on |
he Brooklyn Heights lines, but am
till determined that none of the Nassau
inc men will be reinetated as motormen
r conductors"
In strike headquarters Grenada hall,
he men of the Nassau line assembled
day. General Master Workman John
I. Parsons did not appear but District
faster Workman James Pines was busy
rying to encourage the strikers. He
old them that even If the strike should
e unsuccessful they still would have
he satisfaction of knowing that they
ad rebeled against the evil system of
ours and wages introduced and main
aimed by Rossiter Mr.. Pines added
hat if a certain section of the press and
he corporations officials announced that
he strike would be over in a day or
wo they would soon discover that they
ere woefully mistaken. He also said
1at by Tuesday or Wednesday all the
nes of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
ompany would be tied up as tight as
drum.
