STRIKE IS OVER BUT
 CONFUSION STILL REICNS.
Elevated Lines Running All Out of Schedule Time Subway Express Trains Down to Speed of Locals Five Hundred Strikers to Co Back To.horrow in Place of Inexperienced Hands.

New York, Mar 13-That the con- dltions resulting from the strike of tralnmen on the Interborough Rapid transit company's lines had not been adjusted was plainly apparent today. Although the strikers had been repu- dlated by their. national organization and even advised by their local officers to make an effort to get back their old places, and the Interborough con- pany had announced that the effect of the strike had passed. schedules were more irregular and inadequate to-day than at any time since last Tuesday. Even in the subway, where the company concentrated nearly all its efforts for several days and where everything appeared to be approaching normal basis last week, the service to-day was far from satisfactory. Trains were operated in fairly large numbers but at reduced speed, express trains requiring about the same amount of time for a run as formerly was allowed for locals. All trains were greatly OyercrOwded.
 It was on the elevated lines that the conditions were at their worst, however. The Ninth and Sixth ayen- ue lines, on the west side which were making fairly good time last week, were operated today apparently with great difficulty.
 As far up town as 116th street the cars became crowded, and d repeti- tion of last weeks scenes of packed l trains, people unable to climb on board and men climbing on the roofs were repeated. Even during the rush hours | from 1 to 30 minutes would pass be- | tween trains. At one station gate was forced open to allow several | women to leave the train. Before they mad all disembarked the train | started. One woman was knocked | down. but was caught by patrol. | man just in time to save her from | injury. Shouts of passengers caused an assistant or helper of the motor. man to look out and seeing that there was some trouble he stopped with a suddenness which threw many of the passengers from their feet. This trouble caused a delay of nearly ten minutes and from that point down town delays of from three to seven minutes were made at every station The trip from Harlem which should have been made in 30 minutes con sumed nearly an hour. Other trains were similarly affected.
 On the third avenue line on the east side conditions were as bad, if moi worse than at any time since the he ginning of the strike. While the sta | NI,,4f tut q ed with people waiting for a long de layed train forty empty cars were standing in the center track, out O commission. A guard. one of tn, strike breakers. was asked why theS, cars were not used. He replied
 Why. they're out of order. Tn, company has five hundred cars tha can't be run because their motors ar, out of order or something else is tn, matter with them."
 At the offices of the InterborOugl company it was announced that fiv, hundred of the strikers would be re employed during the day. It Wal said that the officials are gradual! wedding out the inefficient men em ployed as strike breakers and fillins the vacancies with former emplOye of the road. By tomorrow night tn, company expects that the trains oi both the elevated and in the subwa. will be running in first-class shape
 The corridors leading to the office of the company were crowded tO-da, with strikers applying for their old DO sitions as they were on Friday an, Saturday and it required the service of several policemen to keep the mel | in limo
