NEW YORK STRIKE
SPREADS FURTHER
Possibility That Whole City VIII;
Be Included in Street Car Labor
Trouble.

New York, Sept. 9.-The strike of
unionized employees IN the subway, on
the elevated railway lines and on sur
face cars of the New York Railways
company, which began three days ago,
spread tonight to the surface car lines
of the Second Avenue Railway COM
pany. These companies operate yir-
tually all of the surface cars in Man
haitian and the Bronx and the strike, if
successful, it was said, will complete
ly tie ur surface car traffic ir the
two borroughs.
Tonight the first serious indication
OF violence occurred when Michael
Giannini, q years old, strikebreaEe
employed by the Interborough Rapid
Transit company, was shot and prob
ably mortally wounded by an uniden-
titled assailant. The police report
minor attempts at violence during the
day and several arrests were made.
Although officials of the New York
Railways company had promised TO
restore normal traffic on their surface
car lines tonight, the police asserted
at 7:3O p. m., that virtually all the
cars had been sent to- the barns.
Service in The subway and on the ele-
waited railway lines OF the Inter-
borough Rapid Transit company, how
ever. was about normal.
Samuel Gompers, president OF the
American Federation OF Labor, is ex-
pected here from Boston tomorrow
| to take charge of the strike. The
movement it was said, then will cease
to be the air of the Amalgamated
Association of Street and Electric
Railway Employees and will become
the fight of the American Federation
Of Labor.
Immediately upon Mr.. Gonrpers' ar.
fival, it was announced tonight, ne will
confer with a con11.itt"e of the Genital
Federation union, representing the
Longshoremen's union and the STA
tionery fremen. "a programme which
calls for strike of all traction en-
ployes in the Metropolitan district
SUSPENSION of work on all subway
contracts in which the Interborough
Rapid Transit company may be In
terested and a strike Of the longshore
men. who handle coal and other sup
plies, will be discussed, it was said.
This may be followed, union officials
asserted, by a suspension of work for
at least "a hours in all trades afhliat-
ed with the American Federation OF
Labor in New York. These trades, it
is estimated, employ 100000 worker.
1t was estimated by union leaders
tonight that the extension of the strike
t., the Second Avenue Railway com
pang and the Third Avenue compans
would affect approximately 1000 mo-
tormen and conductors. About 5000
employees of the Interborough Rapid
T, ansit company and the New YORK
Railways con- pany are on strike, ac-
cording to the union officials.

FIRMIN CASSIGNOL
DIES AT HOSPITAL
Great French Billiard Player
Fails to Recover From
Operation.
WAS MASTER OF GAME

Firmin cassignol. the French billiarf
player who came 20 New York about
three months ago intending 20 arrange
. match with Willie Hoppe for tho lS.2
championship. died At =, 80 o'clock las
night at the private hospital OF DIR. John
Martin Slahey. 2sS West sevcnty-second
street.
Thursday morning. and for twenty-four
hours afterward Mr.. Cassignol seemed
TO be recovering from It's effects s'tis'
factorily. A relapse came Yesterday,
however. and he grew weaker rapidly
until death came.
Maurice DAILY. at whose billiard rooms
Cassignoi practised. visited the French
expert late yesterday afternoon and
found him very weak and just able to
recognize his friend. With Cassignoi
when he died was his sons hancee. MISS
Mary Louise Baiihus. No other clos
friends or relatives are in America. HIS
body will be shipped to his home In
France.
Mr.. Cassignol was 4, years old and
st the height of his career AS "A master
Of billiards. .o -.
.-rmin Cassisnol vas born in 1863 at
viiasevery. France. and was II years
old when he first handled a cue. Wheh
he had developed into one OF the Tore
most amateur players OF France ne oe-
cided 10 try his hand as n professional.
That was in 1905. He went TO Paris and
found employment in the academy or
Maurice Vignaux. When he saw by
actual experience in competition that he
compared with any of the other players
ne challenged Nigmaux for the champion
ship at Is q baikline. In this, his first
big professional match. he defeated Wig
naux by a score of 500 to 3lo.
The first visit of C%assignol To this
country was in 1909. He was looked
upon then as a pleasing novelty. but not
regarded as equal to several Americans
In ability. lie improved immensely in
later years ana learned by experiment a
lot of things he never. thought OF before.
The chief event Of that call was his play
ing IN a three cornered tournament with
Ora Morningstar and George Slosson in
81. Louis. All of his visits here were
brief ones. After going home In 1909 he
returned again in 1911 TO play in the
championship tournament that Calvin
Demarest won. He paid us a short call
early last year. but did no playing Of any
Importance. This time he came here to
win the championship from Hoppe and
intended TO stay until he got his chance.
Cassignol was one of the most assidu-
Gus students of billiards the game has
: known. II has been said-though no.
body in New York can give oath on the
subject-that Hoppe now plays e5 points
OF three cushion carroms every day as
practice for open table shots. Cassignol
varied his routine more than that. hut
followed an absolutely set system when
practising for a match.
