New York, Aug Reinforced by the sympathetic strike of stage hands and musicians called last night, Frank Gillmore. executive secretary of the Actors Equity Association. issued a statement declaring that the actors were prepared to carry their fight for union recognition to finish. . Mir Gilmore made public a letter from Samuel Untermeyer. who re- gently agreed to act without com pensation as counsel for the actors. urging that under no circumstances should any settlement be considered that does not continue to recognize your association as heretofore. If you now surrender your just right to rec onition your fight is lost.'
 How far the strike of stage hands and musicians would spread was un- certain tonight as officials of those BElions were resting on their arms and confident. however. that the sympa- wide if that proves necessary to ena- ble them towin.
 Marie Dressler. president of the re- gently formed Chorus Equity Associ- ation.- made public tonight the formal demands of the chorus people, which include extra pay for performances in excess of eight per week: a mini mum salary of $50 week while play ing in New York and $35 a week on the road; compensation for time spent in rehearsals in excess of four weeks: individual sleeping car berths for chorus people while on tour and two weeks pay in the event production is abandoned after rehearsals.

The Strike was ordered before the injunc- tion was heard of or thought of and l couldn't have stopped it-you men would have struck anyhow. They have perfect right to lock me up. and had they locked me up before the strike, you men would have stopped the ser vice as soon as the gates of the jail closed behind me"
 Officials of the IInterborough Rapid Transit Company tonight apparently had joined the ranks of some 500 900 car riders who were sitting at home and wondering when the strike would end

 The general manager of the Inter borough had an appointment with newspapermen to discuss the strike situation at 9 o'clock tonight, but tale- phoned his office that he would not ap- pear to be interviewed as there were mo new dSvoiab bnents'f Attachea of his office would not discuss the strike situa ton.

New York, Aug. 1.-The vast sub way and elevated system of the Inter borough Rapid Transit Company, op- erating in Manhattan. tiie Efonx ard parts of. Brooklyn and Queens. was completely para1yzed today by a strike called last night by F. J. Connolly act . ing president of the Brotherhood of Interborough Rapid Transit Company employees. The day passed without violence.
 The tieup. which began promptly at a. n., as ordered with the refusals of crews to start runs from the car became absolute at 6 a. m., when the o'clock completed their runs, were shunted into the barns and abandon ed.
 At that hour. strikers in the Inter borough power house shut off the power, causing a temporary stoppage of traffic on the surface lines of the New York Railways and the Manhat- tan spurs of the Brooklyn Rapid Tran sit Company, which use Interborough power.
 Three power houses resumed opera . tions an hour later. however, permit ting resumption of traffic on three lines, which were jammed throughout the day, as were theo steam raiIrads, automobile trucks, sightseeing buses and boat lines which essayed to take care of the crows.
 With every prospect of a continu- ance of the absolute tieup tomorrow, city officials and the Public Service Commission were bending every effort tonight toward providing emergency transportation for the nearly 2,5O0, 900 persons who will swarm the thorough fares leading into Manhattan seeking transportation to their places of em- ployment.
 With. comparatively light traffic to- day due to the facts that it was Sun day and rainy Sunday at that. the available means of transportation were taxed to their capacity, and with the resumption of business activities tomorrow, one of the severest crushes in the city's history was expected
 The strike. which began this morn ing, was declared by the police to be, so far, one of the most orderly large strikes ever called in New York.
 The strikers worked with the high est precision and efficiency, running : their cars quietly into the barns and
 Investigations by District Attorney Swann of New York county and Dis trice Attorney Martin of the Brownx will be resumed tomorrow in an eff fort to obtain evidence in substantial tion of Mayor Hylan's charge that the strike was the result of collision be- tween officials of the Interborough and the brotherhood. which is a. company union, in an effort to force an increase in fares.
 Harry Jones. national organizer of the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Employes, which is perfecting an organization charged tonight that officials of the company, had refused an offer of the Algamated to furnish the company with 1000 men to run trains. This charge was apparently borne out by
