New York, July 21.--The Mail and

New York, July 21.-The Mail and
Express says:
A gain for the Rapid Transit company
now is visible in Brooklyn. 1t is reflect
ed In good humor at Mr.. Rossiter's office
and corresponding gloom at the head
quarters of the strikers.
The company struck what it deemed
heavy blow at the strikers In causing
the arrest of Thomas J. Casey, formerly
superintendent of the Nassau lines. The
accusation against him is disorderly con-
duct, consisting Of inducing motormsn
and conductors to leave their cars.
Because of his former position he has
great influence with the Nassau men,
and 1t Is alleged that he used 1t In at
tempts to cripple the roads. 1t Is through
his alleged activity that Mr.. Rossiter has
become so angry at AL Johnson as to
couple his name with the dynamite out
rngs, which action. Mr.. Johnson says,
will be promptly met by a libel suit.
All the men accused Of completely IN
the dynamite conspiracy have been ad-
mitted to bail The police now claim
that they knew in advance Of the intent
to use dynamite. 1t is thought that the
charges against the men cannot be sus-
tanned
President Rossiter stated that, accord
ing to actual figures, thera were only sou
men Of the Brooklyn r.. ..L Transit sys-
tenn now on stlih.. Not one Of these, he
said, will BIZ peinstated.
He confidently expects normal condi-
lions to exist within less than week
Many OF the places now vacant will be
filled with out of town men, from whom
he is daily receiving hundreds Of appli-
cations. The majority of places, how
ever, will be filed by former Brooklyn
employees Of the system who were dis
charged for reasons of discipline. He
asserts that the utmost care will be ex-
erted in enlieting new men. No malcon-
tents will be given uniforms
al" Firemen's Demands.
The IL" fremen and engineers will
have a conference with Mr.. Rossiter next
Wednesday on the subject Of wages. He
said that he had arranged to receive dep.
utations from both bodies on that day,
but was careful to add that this would
have no bearing at all on the surface
mems strike.
At the armory of the Twenty-third reg
iment 1t was denied that any special
preparations for duty were being made
by officers or men.
The appearance of the Brooklyn streets
Is much the same as on prestrike days.
Fewer cars are guarded by police.
The strike on the Metropolitan Street
railway in Manhattan seems practically
thing of the past, so far as affecting
the traffic Is concerned.
nH al al nd
expected trouble on the Second avenue
line in view of the riots of Wednesday
night, in which many women had taken
part, but they were pleasantly disap-
pointed.
When morning came. the cars started
out with four policemen on each, but
there were no strikers on hand to make
trouble.
On the Madison Sixth and Eighth av-
enue lines cars started without trou-
BILE on practically regular schedule, and
no one interfered with them. These lines
maintained all night service without DIFF
fculty. From many Of the cars the po-
licemen were removed as the day wore
on.
The only feature that was noticeable
on the Second avenue cars was that there
were fewer passengers than usual, prob
ably because people were afraid of trou-
Bile.
In one place Brooklyn policemen start
ed to club some Manhattan detectives
who stood on a corner not recognizing
them, and the latter were compelled to
fee
1t was said many Brooklyn strikers
had taken the places of Metropolitan
strikers.
