from their barns on schedule time.

was deserted. Two hundred policemen

started this morning two policemen
were on each, and the early trips were
without incident Of serious nature.
Notwithstanding the claims of the
officials on the various lines that their
cars are running on schedule time, Cen
eral Master Workman Parsons issued
a statement to-day in which he de-
clared that the strike was practically
won. He said that 1000 men were
out and more were going out hourly.
He denounced as untrue the statement
of President Vreeland of the Metro

the company had no objection to its
employees belonging to any organiza-

to meet again to- night at which time

men will quit work. The fact that the
police wires have been found cut in
several places has caused the depart

their wires.

Rossiter of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company said that of the full number
of men employed on the several roads,
