Streets and Traffic 10 Inter
fersd With.

New York, July The strike Of tho
city garbage collectors b over and
the fears OF serious epidemic ~
the result Of conditions which have
existed for the past week are at rest
A committee representing the strik-
ing drivers conferred with Mayor Nc
Clellan. He promised that II they
would return to work he would take
up their grievances.
The health department officials
having charge Of the clearing Of the
garbage from the streets went about
the work in systematic fashion on
Monday. The new drivers went out
In compact squads. we'll guarded BY
police, clearing up the refuse from
block after block consecutlvely. In
this way the danger Of attacks on In
dividual drivers was lessened.
No sooner did the new men leave
the stables in the upper East side dis
.trict than crowds began to gather on
the street corners and roofs and win.
dows were occupied by hundreds Of
curious persons, most Of them appar-
emily In sympathy with the strikers
and likely to attack the new men.
Police Captain Walsh did not walt.
for an assault but sent his men
through that police precince and ne
drove the loungers off the corners and
out Of the saloons over into the next
police precinct where they were kept
on the move by the polict there.
For a time, at least, the work OF
cleaning the refuse went on In that
district undisturbed by strikers or
sympathizers.
Police Commissioner Dugan was
seriously injured by the explosion OF
what the police believe was a bomb
while escorting two carts IN
18th street late Monday. The ser
geant was blower several feet. He
was taken to a hospital suffering from
shock and decorations.
Several Of the drivers were badly
beaten by strike sympathizers before
they could be rescued by the police.
On the East side streets conditions
Monday night were almost unbear-
able. The return Of the hot weather
has added to the seriousness Of the
situation. In places the heaps Of
garbage practically fill the streets,
and traffic is interfeTed with. AZ
tempts to dispose Of the accumulaI
lions by burning have been largely
unsuccessful.
But It is not alone the East slde
that suffers. The entire city is al
fected by odors. The health depart
ment is still struggling to make somt
impression on the mountainous heaps
Of refuse, but even If the full force
returns to work Tuesday 1t VIII re-
ouire several days Of hard work Pc
fore normal conditions are restored.
