THREATENED SUBWAY TIE-UP.
Critical Point in Negotiations in
Hands of Manager.

NEW YORK. February 1.-The critical
point in the negotiations between the Inter
borough Rapid Transit Company and it's
employees looking to an adjustment of the
trouble which threatened complete tie-up
of both the subway and the elevated lines
was reached today.
Representatives OF the men announced
that the matter was entirely in the hands
of General Manager Hedley of the Inter
borough company and that upon his reply
to the demands submitted to him yesterday
depended the outcome of the trouble. They
added that nothing but a complete accept
ance of their demands would be acceptable
or would prevent drastic action being taken.
During the morning rumors were circu-
lated that the men were ready to strike
and that the company was preparing to
operate Its lines witt new men, but August
Belmont, president of the Interborough
company, deprecated such talk. s'I do not
think" said he. that he company and its
men are so fars in the matter of the
details of operatingthe subway as to JUS
tify frighteninH the travelling public into
the belief thatafa tte-up of the INTERIOR
ough roads is, at alb imminent.
superintendent I&edley has the matter
entirely in his fhands and from what he
tells me, there Rre.nO grounds to warrant a
belief that wetwill not continue to operate
the subway and thes elevated trains to the
satisfaction of the pnblic and OF the great
majority Of thu employees
While the committRe representing the en-
ployes was waiting 40 see General Manager
Hedley todayIinPresident Jencks of the
Brotherhood Of, Engineers said: UNLESS
the officials of The Rapid Transit Company
change the schedule time which must be
observed by tlafnHen in the subway to-
day there Will abe g ftrike order which will
go into effect pm Saturday morning at the
rush hour.
Every trair, IN tina subway will come to
standstiH and there will not be wheel
turning on the elevated roads. This order
is final. 1t has been voted upon by the
representatives of the organizations which
control the men and the vote was unani-
nous for strike unless the company re-
cedes from its position
At the old Offices OF the Interborough
company in Dey street applications for po-
sitions were being received today. Most Of
the applicants apparently were strangers in
the city.
In anticipation of q possible tie-up Of both
the subway and the elevated lines more
than six thousand policemen were held in
readiness for instant service in Manhattan
and the Bronx today.

Orphaned American Childre,
From the London chronological Journal.

In many American households the child
appears to be the property of the mother
alone. The American father has unfortu-
nately little to say about the training Of
his children. He disappears early In the
morning before the child is out Of the nur-
sery, and returns at night when the child
is In bed. The mother goes with the chill
dren through life every step OF the way.
The father, on the other hand. works for
his child with as great devotion as any
father In the world, but he permits his wife
should be partly his.
