A TIMELY SUBJECT

The first fan weather, which has
been experienced here during the last
few days, is an unpleasant reminder
to householders that the furnace sea-
son is once more al hand. Particu-
larly in homes where there are chill
dren it is necessary to have some heat
I'm the house on the cool mornings
and evenings which are just beginning.
The present price OF coal. however,
makes the starting of furnace fires
an unusually melancholy process this
year. When running the furnace is
more than ever like burning up real
money, the wastefulness Of having a
furnace fire for the few cool hours Of
morning and evening is apparent.
Householders are therefore taking
considerable interest in the demon
stration of oil heaters by various local
dealers. The week of October 13 to
is was chosen as the most opportune
time to demonstrate Perfection oil
heaters all over the country. A ma
tiOnal advertising campaign will sup

demonstrations are part of this ma
tional campaign.
years brought out the remarkable
utility of oil heaters for home use at
times when it was unnecessary to Op-
crate the entire heating plant. Such
a heater can easily be carried from
room to room furnishing the required
amount OF heat when and where il is
needed. 1t is almost a household nee
essity throughout the winter TO sup
plement the furnace in rooms and cor
ners which are especially hard to heat.
Perfection heaters have been devel-
oped to a high degree. Their absolute
safety is assured by a device which

wick too high. As this heater will
burn for ten hours on a single gallon
Of kerosene. its economy recommends

When the Coney Island subway

mated that $4,000 persons were ma
rooned there. Many went there early
IN the day, before the transit condi-
tlons grew intense, and three extra
ooats were run to take the people
away from the island.
A number of business men on the
island called an emergency meeting

to their capacity with passengers

congestion it was feared Mat the
crowds would be swept off of the
nlatforms upon the rails. In order to
prevent this it was necessary to close
the gates leading to the stations and
cease the sale of tickets.
After a fifteen minute wait q few
more passengers were admitted to the
trains. Then the gates were closed
again for fifteen minutes.
Meanwhile the service from Times
Square was becoming less and less re-
liable. The crowds in the stations
along the Broadway lines of the
B. r. T. subway kept increasing and
the means of moving them continued to
decrease until. at 1880 o'clock, the
gates were locked and no more pas
sengers were admitted. Most of those
in the stations were carried to their
destinations, while others left them to

Union Chiefs Claim
First Victory for Men
Many Employees Join Associo-
lion, Say Leaders; Tie-up Of
Al City Lines Predicted

Union leaders announced last night
at the headquarters in the Continental
Hotel, Manhattan, that the striking car
men had won their first victory in the
complete tie-up of the B. R. T. system.
Louis Fridiger, attorney. and P. J. Shea,
Of the international executive commit
tee, met with other officials of the
union and mapped out the campaign
which will be put up to the strikers.
"We are going to work it on a sys-
tenn" Mr.. Fridiger said at is impos-
sible to estimate the number of union
men who have quit, because so many
have enrolled during the day. They
are asking for meeting places. To-mor-
row we shall establish them in South
Brooklyn. Coney Island and East New
, York. We don't care how Mr.. Carl
son estimates numbers; all we know
is that the men are out and that the
lines are tied UP, and they will remain
so until the demands arc recognized y
At the meeting of strikers early yes
terday, the union leaders told the men
that before Friday every subway, ele-
waited and surface car from Coney
Island to Yonkers would be tied up.
1t was said that the employees Of the
Interborough system would be the next
to strike, but no action has been taken
in that direction so far.
Expect l. R. T. Action
The expected arrival of special Off
GERS Of the Amalgamated at the New
York strike headquarters to-day is
looked upon as a signal for the begin
ming of operations in the Interborough
organization. None of its members
knew Of an invitation for sympathetic
strike last night.
Denial was made of the statement
Of Mr.. Smith, union leader, that the
b. r. T. motormen on the subways and
elevated cars, who are members of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Engineers,
would call walkout during the day
The time for the walkout was said to
be o'clock, but none of the motormen
quit, though many have been thrown
into idleness because of the te-up.
Mr.. Fridigcr said that he had been
unable to locate Federal Judge Mayer,
of Brooklyn, who had appointed Mr..
Garrison to the receivership. 81 was
interested in finding Judge Mayer in
order to prevent the strike 1t is too
late for him to intervene now," said
Mr.. Frdiger.
Police ProtecyYon Promised
1t was said Commissioner Enright
had instructed policemen not to inter-
fere with pickets who patrol car barns.
This is the only method our men can
use, and if they use peaceful means to
get the employees to leave the cars, the
police should not Interfere Commits
sioner Enright promised US that said
Mr.. Frdiger.
Strikebreakers for the B. R. T. will
not be furnished by tie Reem ployment

ines Major Warren Ripelow director
said.
"If the B. R. T., or any other concern
that has labor trouble, sends in a
requisition for men we will not send
them" said Major Bigeow. I'VE will,
however, post the requisition upon our
bulletin board and if any jobless men
want to apply there is nothing to pre-
vent them. The Unemployment Bureau

Every bridge and every subway sta

jammed last light at the rush hour by

by the B. R. T. strike
Makeshift jtncys by the thousand

vantage of the lapse in regular trans

Surface cars we're not running be-
patrolman for every car. Elevated
trains were running at intervals which
would be considered protracted even
during early morning hours. Subway
trains, every car crowded beyond
capacity, were running far behind
schedule.
There was at least one patrolman at
every station platform along the routes,
but the rush hour brought no violence
or threats from the strikers
Only, one call for police aid was
reported they could find no sign of a
fight
Jitneys Reap Harvest
Profteering jitneurs made the most
of the situation and were abetted by
RAIN, which came at the height of
the homeward scramble. Everything on
wheels and at leisure became jitney,
from one-horse truck with tar
paulin top to side-car motorcycle,
and everything was jitney for pur-
poses of fare, from dime when the
rush was practically over to $40 when
it was at its height, and the "bus"
was motor car of imposing dimen-
sions and upholstery whose owner
doubtless thought it safe in the garage.
Business houses owning motor
trucks sent them out to carry employees
home. Truck drivers not so employed
were out on their own, apparently, and

breakers to operate the cars by sending
a warning to Mr.. Garrison against such
a procedure. Mr.. Garrison said the
company had no intention of hiring
strike breakers, however.
The attitude of the Public Service
Commissioner was outlined in this
statement, issued from his Office dur
ing the afternoon:
For the purpose of avoiding acci-
dents and delays which may occur by
reason of the present existing condi-
tions on the lines of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company, Public Service
Commissioner Nixon announced yes
terday that he would hold public hear
ings, beginning to-day at $3.50 p. m
for the purpose of investigating the
reported inadequacy of service on those
lines. Notices to that effect have been
sent to Receiver Garrison and the pub
lie is invited to attend the hearing.
Nixon Makes Inspection
Commissioner Nixon and Deputy
Commissioner Barrett were in close
yesterday. Both made trips to Brook
lyn and visited certain focal and vital
transportation points most seriously
affected by this strike. After his re-
turn from Brooklyn Commissioner
Nixon sent the following letter to Re-
ceiver Garrison:
"'Dear Sir: AS the employment of
any raw operators or inexperienced
men on cars of the system under your
receivership might lead to accident, |
beg to request that, if not already
done, you viii issue instructions that
such men arc not to be made use OF.
letter to Mayor Hylan pointing out the
necessity of adequate police protection
al all points along the lines affected by
the strike, and, in addition, at certain
greatly congested stations, like Canal
Street on the Broadway subway, Cham
bers Street Terminal Pacific Street,
Brooklyn Bridge and Ninth Avenue and
Thirty-sixth Street.
"The letter to the Mayor enumerat-
ing these stations was as follows:

Brooklyn are now on a strike and that.

Police Commissioner to give the situa-
