PASSENGERS WOULD NOT PAY
Opinion of Justice Gaynor Response
bic for Disorder ON Coney
Island Roads.

New York, Aug. 12-Scenes of disorder
were witnessed on a number of the troll
ley and elevated roads leading TO COney
Hand today when passengers, guided by
an opinion handed down by Supreme
Court Justice Gaynor yesterday, refused
to pay d second fare. At one period dur
ing the afternoon the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit company refused to convey its
passengers beyond Neck Road, the second
fare boundary. so long as any of the pas
Sengers refused TO pay the additional .
cents The result was a block of cars
and trains a mile long. Great crowds of
elected passengers gathered at the second
fare points, held Indignation meetings and
promised TO bring many suits for dam
ages against the company. The police au-
thoritieS had taken precautions TO prevent
serious trouble at these places, although
the police were instructed not to inter-
fere in disputes between passengers and
employees on the second fare question.
Several passengers were injured today in
being thrown from the cars.
While the police had acted during the
day only to prevent disorder. they tonight
took command and for a time kept the
cars moving so rapidly that the inspec-
tors could not eject passengers. Later,
however-tha motormen decIired to move
the cars and the police arrested several

They also took into custody Dow ].

Brooklyn Rapid Transit company, on Ii
charge of Obstructing traffic by refusing
to allow the cars to proceed to COney ISL
and and Division Superintendent Ezra
Davis on the same charge.
Thousands of persons walked from Neck
Road to Coney Island rather than SUBJ
nit to the company's demands. Other
thousands who undertook to walk to
