Yesterday.
New York, July a0.-The strike situa-
tion In Brooklyn today was practically
unchanged. Few cases of violence were
reported and the only excitement was
caused by the arrest OF Thomas j. Casey,
a former division superintendent of the
Nassau line, on the charge of attempting
to interfere with Homer L. Dean, an in
spector of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
company. Dean accused Casey of having
interferei with him on July l6, In the
performance Of his duties, while he was
taking out one of the company's cars and
urged him to join the strike. Casey was
arraigned in polics court and admitted to
boil pending his examination tomorrow.
Much speculation was indulged In to.
day regarding the outcome of the dis
agreement between MIR. johnson, former
president of ths Nassau Railroad COM
pany, and Mr.. Rossiter, president Of the
brooklyn Rapid Transit company. Mr..
johnson had heard that Mr.. Rossiter hai
accused him Wednesday of instigating
the plot to wreck the elevated structure
ON the Fifth avenue road and spent a
largo part of the day hunting up evidence
TO suhstantlate what he had heard. He
was eloseted with Magistrate Brenner
during the afternoon but neither Mr .
johnson nor Magistrate Brenner would

headquarters largs number of the men
were paid strike wages at the rate pa i'd
by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company
for ten hours work.
President Rossiter stated POSITIVELY to-
day that mono of the striking employees
wonld be taken back except those who
would report for work by tonight. The
strikers say they have no seeeders from
their ranks. While they are keeping mp
a bold front and claiming they would
win eventually, 1t looks as If the strikers
