BOYCOTT IS ON.
Quiet and No Riding in Paw
tucket and Vicinity.

There was. nothing doing this morning
in Pawtucket. Central Falls. Cumberland
or Lincoln. and 10 reports came TO the
office of the street railroad or to police
headquarters. The same number of cars
were run today as yesterday and the day
previous and there was the average pat
ronage one passenger to the round trip.
1t is a fact that the cars of the Pawtuc-
ket company. and the cars which turned
in daily from $50 to $50 do not average
81 each, while the patronage on the other
lines is prorortonate.
AN EFFECTIVE BOYCOTT.
The boycott which has been placed on
the system OF the Pawtucket Street Rail-
way Is surprising even 10 the boycotters.
The patronage on the Providence lines
is but trifie OF what IL was formerly
and the people, no matter what the
weather. seem content TO walk, and fur
ther. say that they will walk so long as
the present conditions obtain. 1t is
maintained the people can stand 1t as
long as the railroad management can.
PEoPE MUST WIN.
Pawtucket today has no troops on duty
whatever for the first time In Is days
The people appear 10 have settled down
10 the boycott pure and simple, and
people will again attain turbulent spirit.
The general impression is that the ra;i-
road management Is up against a haru
proposition.
PEACE AND ORDER PREVAIL
The general conduct of the people for
the past few days has been such to give
the city authorities confidence that ley
will be able 70 handle the situation, and
IL Is believed that while IT is possible
there may be occasioal instances OF
stone throwing. the general sentiment OF
the people is in favor OF peace and good
order
STRIKERS FIRM AND CONFIDENT.
The strikers here say that they are Just
as firm as they ever were, and that they
are satisfied that In the end they will
win Naturally they are somewhat chat
ing under the enforced idleness. but they
believe that their cause grows stronger
each day, and that they will. with the
support OF the people. win the struggle.

There was an open air meeting the
striking street railway men at the june
