Manned By tnsir old drivers. street
cleaning carts that f,aye been idls fo'
l daya because OF the Strike rumbied
from the gables at go o'clock this
morning and soa tered through the city
10 begin the collection of garbage ee-
STIMULATED in tho streets.
The strike which threatened e
health OF New York Is nov over, tflougt,
the men have not settled their gr!ev-
ancrs and not one concession has been
granted them. They have been told.
Sowever. BY some one who Is supposed
10 have spoken for the city admintstra-
tiun thai II they would go back TO their
Old Jobs their grievances would hs
heard without, prejudicc Then. too,
the men know that while they are !dls
the health OF tne entire community is
Eisnaced. and they prefer TO sacrifiee
their own welfare to bringing about
such conditions.
The iaen began gathering az the
stables before 8 a'ciozk. There we're
psiiee on hand In ease Of trouble. T4.e,t
had come .er work. and hard work 1t
will be. too. for the next few days and
nights, for the cltys streets are literally
cicgged With rntiing refuse
There was hardly a garbage cart thrt
did not hurry from the stables when
The clocks ch.gned the beginning o. the
work day. Stable sent out "a carts;
Stable A. 200; stable f. %; stable D, G.
\ Mere men Than are usually employed
were busy In stable c. the regular en,-
pioyees having their forces swelled by
the strike breakers who have been at
tcmpting to handle the garbage. These
men Will not be discharged until the
;atrsets aFeSuIesf OF garbage only
proriisa made to the strikers. with the
exception OF the agreement to give their
grievances investigation. was that they
should get their places back. Some Of
the veterans wers put or as extras, as
well as some men not long In the ser
vice.
What Men May Gain.
Tho Eanerai belief ,s thar the com
pIasht OF the men as TO overtime will
not be red-essed. The y. g. C. drivers

!, the law. the department being exempt
4sd from the c!Eht-honr stipulation,
sttseir work ends only when there is no
more 10 be dons. The theory is that
sanitation ss an emergency JOB, How
ever, II Is believed the system OF fining
win be done away with. and that the
inspectors. who seem 20 have been
largely responsible for tho strike, viii
hc clothed with less power ard more
work.
There Is An intimation about tho City
Hail to-day that Street Cleaning Com
mIssinner crayen's Official days are
ended and that Mayor Mcclellan viii
send his head into the basket whom a
good man can be found to take his
place. Craven is backed by Pat Mo
CarrsR. who. stands well with Nc
Eirilan. However. Craven has not dis
1tnguished himself as a street-c cleaner.
An,i ne has fallen down hard during
the garbage strike. 1t Ia intimated
that his place win probably be flied
by "Bill" Edwards. deputy commis-
rntonrr, who distinguished himself 1t
Princeton on the gridiron. 1t is pos
sibie, however. the plass may 20 te
Z nome one with moro political pull.
