change has come over the strike aspect
in this city. Last night there was riot
ing from one end of Second Avenue to
the other. There was promise, too, by
General Master Workman Parsons, of
Il complete tie UP of the .rol:cy lines
in Manhattan, with its consequent i'll
spring effect upon the Brooklyn strikers
A general tie up has not come iy any
means in New York. There was little
or no rioting on Second Avenue today
or tonight. The cars on that line ran
throughout the day almost as they had
RIM previous to the strike. The Eighth
Avenue line, which the strike officials
last night promised would be dead TO.

a hitch now and then far up in Harlem
where few roughs had clear field to
run.
There is no strike on the Madison Ave-
nue. line, scheduled meeting Of the
Car men of that line having fizzled out
tonight. Practically no trolley line in
New York City is affected save the
Second Avenue.
In Brooklyn the Rapid Transit Com

have them ready for duty and in gem
eral way the cars on the affected lines
in that borough run on good time with
what seemed to be- a fair passenger
traffic.

called mass meeting for tomorrow
night, at which he hopes to have present
representatives Of $50 labor organiZa-
tons of Greater New York.
The strike according to a statement
made by President Rossiter, has SO far
cost the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com

morning.
