G. T. e. Men to Plead for Strikers
Another Dan.

The committee appointed by the Central FEEDER
ated Union to wait August Belmont and ask for
the reinstatement of the Interborough strikers, 1t
was announced yesterday, would call on Mr.. Bel
mont tomorrow afternoon.
Mr.. Belmont unable TO make arrangements
for meeting the committee yesterday. He is going
Boston to-day, but will return tomorrow morn
ing, and unless something unlocked for happens to
change his plans will be ready to meet the COM
mittee in the afternoon. It was announced yester-
day evening that he would surely meet the COM
mittee this week.
1t was denied by Vice Grand Chief Hurley of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers yesterday,
that he was going to see Mr. Belmont and make a
plea him to take the striking motormen back
He thought. however, that all who had been fooled
into the strike should be reinstated
MY advice TO the old motormen,' he continued,
lis for them to go back to work, and my advice to
the company would be to take them back with the
exception of those who fooled them into striking,
The service both the elevated roads and the
subway will continue bad until the old men, who
know how to handle the motors, are back They
have learned a good lesson, and l don't believe
there will ever be another strike the system.
Il want to say now he continued, that il is
time for the men who were fooled into striking
to know how they msled. kilograms which
I sent from the West advising them against a
strike suppressed and not read to them.

HOLD UP THIRD RAIL.
Brooklyn authorities Stop Long
Island Railroad York.

Borough President Llttleton has held I'D eoujpp,ng
the Long Island Railroad with electric power be-
tween the Flatbush-ave- station and Jamaica by
refusing to grant permission TO lay the third rail
on the surface in Atlantic-ave between Atkins
ave. and the borough line. AS tar out the latter
fhoroughfare the tracks have been taken from the
surface and are TO run in tunnels and elevated
structures. Tbs third rail has already been laid
along these parts OF the route. Public Works Com
missioner Breckenridge time ago pointed out
10 the Long Island officials the danger that would
arise from running third rails on the surface be-
yond Atldas-ave. No attention paid TO his pro-
test.
Yesterday, however, the electrical company that
IS equipplng the road applied for permission to
make excavations TO lay the feed wires for the
third rail between Atkns-aVe- and the borough line.
The application denied.

On the other hand Corporation Counsel Delany

office that the United States court has held that

Mr. Delany will If the legislative committee shows
