ASSURES PHONE CALL CUT
Brooklyn to Have Benefit of New Rate
to Manhattan.

While the New York Telephone Company
had not been officially informed yesterday
Of the fling OF the final order by the up
state Public Service Commission calling
for a reduction in the marlborough rates in
greater New York. II was explained at the
office OF the company that with reduc-
ton from 10 cents TO cents for calls be-
tween Brooklyn and Manhattan. the old
contracts with Brooklyn subscribers would
remain the same as 10 the area OF local
service. That is. Manhattan calls would
still be classed as extra calls. but at the re-
duced rate, instead OF classifying all the
5-cent calls under local service The Brook
Ign subscriber. who now pays 10 cents 20
Manhattan. will still find the Manhattan
rate charged as foreign" but at the rate
OF cents.
1t was pointed out that subscribers who
now obtain special rates for large num-
Der OF calls between the two boroughs.
which makes the present rate about cents
instead Of 10. would profit under such con-
tracts Ly a reduction to the 5-cent rate. and
probably would get an even smaller rate.
The final order gives the company until
December 10 put the reduced rates into
effect. and the company is willing. and dis
posed. 10 comply with the requirements Of
the commission by that time. it was said.

WOULD BOYCOTT CAR LINES
Brooklyn Strikers Hope in This
Way to Enforce Demands.

There was hardly any evidence yester-
CAV in Brooklyn that the men of the smlth
street and the Franklin avenue lines oi
the Coney Island & Brooklyn Railroad
Company still were on strike. The sulk-
ers. however distributed thousands of cir
culars informing the public that the strike
was still on and asking: Are you with us !
We are asking only for minimum wage
of s. per day
The officials OF the company opened an
emplovment bureau at Franklin and Dekalb
avenues. where applicants for employment
ON the lines affected by tho strike were ex-
amined as to their physical fitness for the
work None of these was striker. Many
of them were said 20 he discharged en-
ployes of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit COM
pany. Thirty conductors and fifty motor
men, strike breakers, who decided TO re-
main with the company took the eXamina-
lion.
Besides distributing the circulars. the
strike leaders sent delegations to all TIE
Brooklyn unions requesting that the mem
bers patronize a. little as possible the lines
of the company. The leaders hope in this
way 10 redu e the revenue OF the read ana
10 force the directors 20 instruct President
HUFF to take the strikers back at . cents
an hour. The company offered the men %
cents an hour.
Patrick Shea. the strike leader, said that
in the circulars the men had been caTe.ui
TO avoid any infraction of the boycott law
and that they sought only 20 start
peaceful boycott against the road. lie
said he had not heard anything from Mayor
Gaynor in reference to the strike situation.
The strike breakers in the employ OF the
company continue to do about as they
please on the Smith street and the Frankiin
avenue cars. Some one yesterday cut the
signal bell cord in a Smith street car. Tile
conductor forthwith used the fare cord 90
signal TO stop or to go ahead.
Shea said last night that the parade
planned for to-day had been called off be-
cause the police feared violence.
