REGULAR SCHEDULES
ARE MAINTAINED
But Employees on Elevated and Subway
in New York Declare They Are Long
Way from Being Defeated.

New York, Sept. l4.-Despite the main
tenance of regular schedules on the sub
way and elevated lines of the INTERIOR
ough Rapid Transit company and the
gradual restoration of service on the sur.
face lines, the leaders of the striking
railway employees declared to-day that
they were far from being defeated. They
limited that the danger of sympathetic
strike was not yet over. Traction Off
cials asserted to-day that it was no long
or necessary to hire .strkebreakers,
claiming that hundreds of former en-
ployes have returned TO work.
Five trolley cars came together in a
series of rear-end collisions on the West
chester avenue line in the Bronx to-day,
and 10 passengers were injured, one Sc
riously. The accident occurred at the
foot of a steep incline and the car crews
who, it is said, were strikebreakers,
claimed the rails were CREASED so the
brakes would not hold.

WILL NOT REMAIN.
Effort to Keep Premier Zaimis in Office
Has Been Fruitless.

Athens, Tuesday, via London delayed }
Sept. l4.-Every effort to persuade Alex
ander Zaimis, the aged premier, to re-
main in office has been fruitless. His
pride was wounded by the appearance of
the allies fleet off Piraeus at the very
moment when negotiations had begun for
the entry of Greece into the war.
The arrest of Austrisns and Germans
in Athens by French British agents and
the invasions of the French legation by
the Russians, taken in conjunction with
the continued internal discord in the face
of a great national crisis completely dis
couraged the entire cabinet, and the re-
suit was not only to precipitste the re-
tirement of the Zsimis ministry but to
bring TO a standstill and possibly even to
an end all discussion of the departure
from neutrality by Greece.
I'VE hope the entente now sees where
the policy of trying to force matters
leads" said prominent Greek official to
the Associated Press to-day.
