some speedy agreement. he accoru'
ingly addressed letter to both the IN
terborough company and the Amalgaml--
ated association to this end. In ms
/ letter he said:
.sAs. mayor of the city solicitous for

| to offer to you my services at q me e
ator, or arbitrator, or in any capacity
! in which may be instrumental in et'
fecting an adjustment of the existing
differences between the Interborough
Rapid Transit company and its enl-
ployes, SO that the complete operation
of the railroad may be resumed at
once. Z
II am sure you realize that the pres.
ent conditions, if continued, would do
great injury to general business, great
hardship to the travelling public, and,

1.-The winter has been extremely Sc
we're upon the poor and fatigue and ex-
posture now might prove a serious men
ace to life. 1t is upon the wage earn,
ing population that such suffering
would fall.
""rhe suggestion which have made
to act myself-is but prompted by a de-
sire to show my willingness to serve.
would, however, much prefer to invite
a number of disinterested citizens to
take the task and submit to them this
delicate and patriotic work. 4
Every precaution has been taken to
protect the power house and the men
working there. The men are supplied
with meals in the power house, and
cots have also been placed there for
them.
The police said tonight that over a
hundred non-union men had left their
places on account of illness. +
All the downtown hotels are crowded
tonight with guests unable to reach
their homes in the upper sections of the
city.
One-third of the police force of Brook
lyn was drafted over to Manhattan to
aid in handling the strike situation.
Two strikers were arrested for inter
fering with non-union men.
No meeting of the Amalgamated as
ISOLATION was held this afternoon and
Vice President May of that organiza-
ton stated that no meeting would be
held until twenty-four hours have
elapsed. If at the end of that time SUI
perintendent Hedley was still unwilling
to accede to the demands of the men,
the engineers and firemen's electric and
eccentric union would be called out
The members of this organization are
employed in the various power houses.
The usual crop of rumors, which are
the inevitable accompaniment of a
strike of such magnitude were in circu-
lation throughout the day and evening.
Unfounded reports of wrecks and fatal
accidents flew thick and fast. Then a
report was circulated that there was
smallpox aboard the Northam, the
steamer on which the strike breakers
had been quartered, but diligent in
curry failed to substantiate it. The
strikers claim that many of the i'm
ported men have gone over to them and
QUIT work, but this the marlborough
officials stoutly denied, and announced
this afternoon that their employing
dgn ncies had been closed, all the men
needed having been obtained. While
by far the greater number of the men
brought on to take the places of the
strikers are. from other cities, a num-

and enjoy the excitement of strike
