STRIKERS QUIET
Work On the Hudson Tun-
mel Goes At the Hands
of New Men.

Work on the Hudson River trolley tun-
mel is being continued without further
interference on the part of the strikers.
New men have been secured to take the
places of those who quit and with the
exception of slight delays due to the
usual difficulty new men experience in
becoming accustomed to such work, there
haveSbeen on interruptions.
Six policemen We're on guard all day
yesterday at the tunnel entrance at the
foot of Fifteenth street. There were
no strikers in sight and when the new
hands left to go home they We're not
interfered with.
One of the chief difficulties expert
enced by the new men is in getting used
to working in the compressed air in the
tunnel. When the new men first went
to work great many were afflicted
with "the bends" This most peculiar
affection, due to breathing compressed
air, attacks the men after they come
out of the shaft. Some drop down the
moment they breathe the outside atmo-
sphere, while others fall several hours
after leaving work. The men become
weak in the legs and seem to gasp for
breath. When they are stricken they
are carried into room built especially
for the purpose which is kept constantly
filed with compressed air. They recover
the moment they are place din this room.
The victims rarely become unconscious.

RINCLE UNDECIDED.
He Has Not Made Up His Mind
About Cillespie's Position
But Objects to Change
of Specification,

President Ringle, of the Finance
Board, was asked today if he would OPP
pose accepting the proposition of Sub
Contractor Gillespie to put in FIVE water
gates in the big new water pipe on the
east side of the Hackensack River, pro-
vided he was not forced to cover the
pipe on the meadows with three feet of
dirt, even if the Mayor, the other mem
bers of the Finance Board agreed with
the Street and Water Commissioners,
that Mr.. Gillespie's offer is advantageous
to the city. Mr.. Ringle expressed him
self as opposed to the proposition before
Friday nights conference between the
Mayor, Finance commissioners Daudt
and Brock and Street and Water Com
missioners Heintze and Nolan.
At that conference it was generally
agreed that the offer was an advantage
Gus one and several matters were re-
ferred to Corporation Counsel Record to
see if there was any legal obstacle in the
way of accepting the proposition.
Il was not at the conference said
Mr.. Ringle today, 'and l don't know
what will do when the matter comes up.
for final decision. | am opposed to any
further change of the specifications on
general principles.
The Street and Water Commissioners
say that if Mr.. Ringle or any one else
in authority objects to the proposition
they will force Mr.. Gillespie to put on
an extra half-foot or feet of earth over
the pipe and let the city pay for the
gates, which win cost in the neighbor
hood of $1,000.
