 twenty more of the lodgers at the car barns will return home tomorrow. The company will get the worst of this trouble'' Just then the train pulled in and John Farley, the leader of the strike breakers, put in an appearance. He is tall, rather slender, has 8 dark complexion and a dark moustache. Only for the presence of couple of po- licemen he might have been roughly handled.
 Notwithstanding the additional cars put on to-day the passenger traffic did not increase. All the morning the cars on North Main and Bank streets ran without hardly taking up a passenger The only business done was on the North Willow street line, and a falling off there was apparent to everybody. This noon the largest number of pas sengers were taken on and they num- bered only six, excluding dog.
 A new means to encourage the pub lie to ride in the cars was put into ex- ecution ---., morning. Some of the non-union men were allowed to mingle with the crowds and when a car would come along to get on board. It had no effect, however. The people saw through it immediately.
 Yesterday evening Mayor Kilduff and Chief of Police Egan had a con- ference to take steps ito protect proper ty. What measures were decided upon were not given out. It is said in this connection that special policemen will be detailed to duty in citizens clothes so that they may mingle with the crowds and nip in the bud any disturb ance they may overhear being planned,
 This forenoon Detectives Dodds and O'Gorman made two arrests. They were informed that two young men, ] Suffer Timothy Ryan and Martin Grady, had bought two revolvers and two boxes of cartridges. They were bought in different places. The detec- lives lost no time in getting onto the tracks of the young men and arrested them as they were about loading the weapons. It is from such sympathizers the strikers will suffer if they will suf- fer at@alI
 Another collision came near occur ring on West Main street this forenoon. TWO cars got onto the same switch and came Within 8 foot of running into each other
 The following statement was 1ssued | by the trolleymen to-day:
 The sixth day of our strike is here and We have to report no change in l the situation as far as the men of our | union are concerned, except it be that they are more enthusiastic than ever and more determined to stand togeth- CT. The regular monthly meeting of the local was held in Hellmann's hall 1 last night and, as usual. the roll call found every man on deck. This morn ing the usual daily meeting was held at 10 o'clock with a like result Lib- eral cash donations are being sent in by well known citizens at each meet l ing, with the request that we ask for more if we need it. Such acts as these have a tendency to greatly en- l courage the men, as it convinces them that the people are behind them in l their strike. The committees appoint ed for the purpose have secured the names of all those who have ridden on the cars to date. It has been learned that in several cases "cappers'' rode on the cars Their presence however, we are happy to say, did not 1 influence many others to do likewise ! Some objection has been raised by people who formerly rode considerably to ride on cars which have been con. verted into bedroom for the strike breakers. They do not deem it pru dent to ride in such cars. Consider able kicking has been heard from the few Oakville and WatervilIe people who have used the cars since they be gan to make their spasmodic trips yes terday. When they found on theil arrival here that they could not gel transfers onto other lines, they put LIT terrible howl and threatened suits against the company.
 "By the way, the strike breakers arc not wearing uniforms in most cases and are wearing sweaters. We can not see why the company can stand the new men wearing them, while the wearing of them by us almost caused nervous prostration. We also would like to ask the management why the non-union men now working are worth $2.50 per day, board and stab ling, while the company couldn't set why we should receive $2.25 per da, and look after our own bread anC hunks?
 "Another close call to an acciden occurred near St Johns church thi morning. A car in charge of the barr foreman met another car coming il
 
 the opposite direction at this point, bu both cars stopped before coming to gether. A misunderstanding of tn schedule probably accounts for that
