STRIKE In new YORK
is PRACTICALLY OYER
LOCAL LEADERS CONTINUE
FIGHT THAT IS LOST.

Subway and Elevated Trains Continue
to Run ON Good Time-COmpany Will
Take Back but Few of the Old Men
Employees Faithful During the Strike
to Get Two Weeks Extra Pay.
New York, March 1O.-Although the
local leaders are continuing the fight,
despite the fact that the national lead
ers have repudiated their action in CALI
ing the men out, the strike on the sub
way and the elevated system has pass
ed the acute stage, and trains were run
to-day with little delay. The strike
breakers quickly learned their new du-
ties, while a number of the old men
were back in the positions which they
left on Tuesday morning last. There
was no general rush back of the old
employees, but the men slowly weaken
ed, and there was a steady stream pass
ing into the company's office all day.
The officials were most discriminating
and while many of the guards and tic
ket sellers were taken back, very few
positions were found for the motormen,
it being feared that some damage might
be done to the company's property.
This action, it was feared, would give
the police something to do, as the men
who We're refused work were in an ugly
mood. Some 800 men in all We're rein
stated. The company stated that not
more than one-half Of one per cent.
would be re-engaged, in fact late last
evening there were only 400 vacancies
to be filled, 200 more strike breakers
having arrived during the afternoon
from Scranton and Wilkesbarre. 1t
was said at the company's offices that
Messrs. Jencks and Pepper had sought
an interview with Mr.. Hedley. Mr..
Jencks said he had not received a tel
egram from Mr.. Stone in Cleveland.
OF the situation he said:
THE locomotive engineers went into
the strike knowing that the national
body would not support them. 1t is an
independent strike, and is being carried
on in an Independent way. It makes
no dlfference what the national body
thinks or what action it takes. We are
carrying on the strike which is entire.
" on local matters and we viii fight
to a finish"
According to a statement issued by
the company the utmost quiet prevail
ed up to a late hour and the conditions
were fast becoming normal. No mon
We're placed at work during the night.
but arrangements had been perfected
for having the men in readiness to the
number of nearly 1900 to report for
work tomorrow.
Encouragement, discomfort and M
hraiding of their leaders characterized
the slinly attended meetings of the
strikers
In rear-end collision on the Third
avenue elevated a number Of passen-
gers We're cut by flying glass and 9th
ers received bruises.
The Interborough company at meet
ing to-day decided to give all employees
who remained loyal during the strike,
two weeks extra pay. A number Of ar
rests were made during the day, the
culprits being chiefly boys, for interfer-
ing with the running Of cars, cutting
bell cords and intinidating strike
breakers. ~
