BROOKLYN TROLLEY STRIKE.
Street Car Service Is Crippled
About 0ne-Thlrd,
TEN-HOUR LAW THE CAUSE.

NEW Y0RR, July H. Another troll
ley strike Is on In Brooklyn, 80 far
II has not been as effective as the
strike Of 1926, but there Is no telling
how long or how far.roachlng II may
become. For some weeks past the
employees OF the several lines con-
trolled by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
company have been complaining that
tho management did not live up to
the ten hour law The men demand u
revision OF the time tables at tho diff
ferent barns, and also claim that they
should DO paid 90 cents an hour for
overtime, which Is equivalent TO s? u
day, the price which they set for
working day Of ten hours, Meetings
have been held daily and nightly for
the last week, and II was inferred
from the reports given out by the en-
ployes and their advisers since Thurs
day last TINT, while strike was i'm.
minent, IL would not occur for some
days TO come.
General Master Workman Parson
and District Master Workman Pines
had charge OF the mems affairs, and'a
strike was called at 4;3O yesterday
morning, At that hour most of the
motormen and conductors on the
Brooklyn Traction companys lines
had completed their night trips, and
the leaders decided that this was the
most opportunc 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, hay
ing maintained tho regular terms
with their employees, were not impeded
In tho least but on oil other roads
transportation was stopped for awhile,
and good deal of congestion occurred
In consequence.
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 run
ming at intervals OF ten minutes, which
meant that the service was crippled
about oue-third.
Throughout the afternoon boulders
and large pieces ofgranite 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.
tions were removed. No sooner did
the cars pass than the bouldcrs were
laid 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 sympathlzers,
President Rossiter said that the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit officials would
not arbitrate the strike difficulty with
their striking employees,

Perth AmbOy, NJ j., Bank Wrecked
by Its Cashier
RELATIVES MAY MAKE IT GOOD.

New YoRK, July l5,-daorgo NJ
Valentine, cashier OF the Middlesex
County bank OF Perth Amboy, NJ j.,
which was closed yesterday, has sur
rendered himself and Ia now In Jail on
account of shortage In the banks
funds, which has been varously esti-
mated all the way TO 100000, The
affair caused CONSERVATION and dis
may among tho business mon OF Perth
Amboy, where the Mlddlosex County
bank was considered as strong us the
eternal hills,
A detailed investigation Of matters
by President Watson and Robart N,
Valentine showed that the cashiers
checks and stubs did not correspond;
that the checks called for more money
than tho stubs recorded, and that
while taking the stub us the basis Of
accounting, the banks finances would
figure out all right, tho checks would
show that the bank had been
drawing heavily on Its New
York correspondent tho Park
National, The cashier, In fact, carried
the accounts OF the stubs and from
them to the books correctly, but when
the returns from the cashiers checks
came he pocketed the difference be-
tween the stub aud the check, -Four
or Ave months OF this method OF flnan-
cierlng depleted tho bank'S reserve
moneys and brought II TO tho verge OF
ruin, Then the cashier evidently Sc
cured portion Of tho ready cash on
hand and left Perth Amboy
Thursday night the determination
to close the bank was reached, and
Mr.. Watson notified Chief OF Police
Burton and asked him TO locate the
missing cashier. Valentine, who had
been in New York city, returned to
Perth Amboy from Woodbridge, ac-
companied by his counsel, Edward
Savage Of Railway. He declined to go
into details Of tho shortage OF the
bank, except that he was very sorry
that he got his friends into trouble
and that he felt very bad about his
wife and children.
President Watson Is OF the opinion
that the cashiers defalcation will
amount to ut least $3.50 Where
the money went to is not known, as
the cashier is said TO have been mod
crate in his tastes and habits Of life.
The Mlddlescx county bank was
operated under a state charter, and
had been in operation many years.
Cashier Valentine was for years a
clerk In the Park National bank OF
New York In 1904 he was made
cashier OF the Mlddlesex County bank.
His bond was fixed for $50, 1000. His
relatives are wealthy, and it is said
they will endeavor to make good the
shortage.
