The Men, Their Demands Refused, Go
Out This Morning.
CIV the Associated Press. )

New York, March G.-The long
threatened strike of the employees of
the marlborough Company, operating
the subway and the elevated railroads
of Manhattan was determined on at a
meeting of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers and the Amalgamat-
ed Association of street and electric
railway employees held in Harlem to-
night. About 5000 employees of the
subway and elevated systems are af-
fected by the strike, which will inter-
rupt all traffic in Manhattan except
on the surface trolley lines.
The men met Mr.. Hedley this after
noon and presented a list of de
mands" and asked an immediate an
swer. This answer was not forth
coming the men left Mr.. Hedley's Of
fee, and saying that they would give
him until IL o'clock in which to make
a reply to their demands.
The reply was sent at the expected
hour. 1t was a fiat refusal on the
part of the company to grant any of
the demands made by the men, Di-
rectly following the receipt of Mr..
Hedley letter, President George Pep
per, of the Amalgamated Association
of Street and Electric Railway EN-
ployes, formally declared the strike.
At midnight the companys officials

the Russian army the tide of battle
yesterday was gradually rolling back
from the immediate vicinity of Muk-
den, operations up to noon having re-
suited in the capture of several viii
lagos west and southwest of Mukden;
but late in the afternoon the Japanese
inaugurated a series of desperate at
lacks, the outcome of which is still not
problematical General Kaulbars, who
is considered to be the best of Gen.
Kuropatkin's subordinates, has taken
personal charge Of the operations in
this field. The communicating hief
also is devoting his attention to the
fighting in the same locality.
At latest reports the Japanese had
also launched an attack against Pou-
tiloff Hill and other points on the Rus
sion front.
Comparative inactivity is the rule
on the extreme left.
The War Office estimates the num-
Der wounded in the battle of Mukden
at $4,000, including 234 officers, but
makes no statement regarding the
number of dead This undoubtedly is
a conservative estimate. The Japa-
nese losses. according to the same
source of information. are estimated at
10000.
The optimistic tone of the war cor
respondence is reflected in military
circles here. 1t is considered that
even if General Kuropatkin has not
succeeded in delivering cruising
blow at the Japanese he has at least
insured the possibility of withdrawal,
which was greatly jepoardiZed by the
operations of Generals Nogf and
Kuroki.
