Not Known Whether New York Rapid
Transit Employees Will Strike.

New York, Sept. although two
points Of contention between the labor
unions and the Interborough Rapid
Transit Co. We're amicably settled. yes
day, there was still some question
g Their all difficulties would be finally
ed and the agreement signed, to-
day. The questions of seniority and of
the test of examination were left for
today's conference which had been
called to finally consider the agreement
reached, yesterday. Before the confer
cncc got together First Vice Master
Wilson of the Brotherhood of LOcOmo-
tive Fircmen said that the labor lead
ers would insist upon Il favorable con-
sideration of these two points in the
final draft of the agreement.
The other leaders took a more cheer
fUl view of the situation. Geo. b. Pep
per. president Of the local division of
the Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railway EMPLOYEES
said he was perfectly satisfied with the
terms granted and did not believe there
would be any hitch in the negotiations
necessary to make the agreement final.
Hundreds of men who went to the
employment office of the Interborough
Co. today. to apply for positions in
the subway were told that the company
had all the men it needed. At the same
time the work of paying off the 1000 men

was begun. Only 500 of the men had
been paid when the work was suddenly
stopped and the remaining $500 We're or
dered to report to Farley, this after
noon. for instructions.
When the $500 strike breakers report
ed at the PETERBOROUGH Cos. Office this
afternoon. they were informed that
heir services might still be required
nd were ordered to hold themselves in
badness for any emergency. Farley
said that the men would not be paid off
until 1t was certain that the danger of
o strike was finally over. Some of the
rike breakers who were paid off, to-
day. expressed their dissatisfaction with
the treatment they had received, be-
ing given only three days employment.
They accused Farley of breaking faith
with them and declared that they would
band together and form an organization
and hold themselves in readiness to
take the place Of strikers on any road
that might need them.

Sept. 1.-The Blue and Brown armies
were in fierce combat when halted by
the chief umpire at 3 O'Clock, Tuesday
afternoon Previous to this the com
manders of the two forces had spent
the time mancuvcring for position. The
net result of the day is that Gen. Gront,
who is charged with forcing back Gen.
Bells Brown army through Thorough
fare Gap. has rot been able to break
the line OF defence established by Gen.
Eel during the early hours OF the
morning.
After five companies Of the Blue
army had been ruled off the field, for
attacking i'm the open, a strong con.
c'alcd defence, hostilities ceased for
nearly three hours
During this time Gen. Grant swung
tn" bulk Of his infantry and artillery
to TIE south III an effort to flank Gen.
Eel Inc of infantry on the right.
Gen. Bell, however. learned Of tn"
movements of his adversary and rushed
up his reserves to the threatened point
The two forces came in contact
shortly after O'Clock. Artillery was
brought into place by the Brown army
and rapid fire guns spoke on both sides
while v"llcy after volley Of mushctry
added to the sound Of battle
The battle had proceeded only a
short time when an order from the UNI
pircs WAS given to cease firing. At
this time the forces were practically
equal. Fifteen minutes was granted
each side to rectify its lines. Then at
a signal from the chief umpire the ac-
ton was resumed.
The 1St Vermont, portion of the
18th New York, the Sth Massa chusetts
and the ID Maine made a charge on
the Bluc position, moving over very
open ground and under very heavy
fire from the 9TH Virginia, the LIST Maine
and the 1st Texas. The Brown charg-
ing force WAS ordered back after sus-
tanning heavy losses.
The success of the Blue Army at this
time was but temporary and an orde"
to fall back was given, Gen. Bell hav-
ing ordered up roinforcemcnts consist

The situation was critical for either
side. The lighting forces We're APP

from the umpire would have been i'm
pcratlve had a halt not been called.
Col. Wagner sees great improve
ment in the militia forces regarding the
use OF ammunition. There was no
reckless or needless firing to speak of.
The control that officers of the militia
have over their men was also n matter
of qualification.
Gen. Bell expressed great gratifica-
ton on the conduct of the militia under
him.
