BUSINESS HARD HIT

Thousands Late for Work After
Braving Rain and Traffic
Congestion
I. R. T. TIE-UP IS COMPLETE
BY the Associated Press

New York, Aug. 1S.-Forced to reach
It's Offices by devious routes in a rain
storm, commercial New York entered
the second day of it's traction strike
with resentment in its heart.
With Interborough subways and ele
vateds completely tied mp, the city's
millions this morning battled their way
into such surface cars as were runuing,
or into buses and moving vans hastily
: organized into scmblance of a transpor-
tation system.
Residents of upper Manhattan and
the Bronx suffered most. Many, de-
spairing of ever reaching the financial
tip of the island By other than extraor-
dinary means, twice crossed the lluG-
son in three hour trip to their Of
fees. Ferrying from 120th street to
Fort Lee, they made their way down
the Jersey side to the Hudson tubes
and thence recrossed to Manhattan.
The city operated several motor bus
lines, charging a ten cent fare, but pri-
yate buses, trucks and automobiles
charged from fifty cents to 81.
Brokers and fnanciers Fastening to
Wall street in their automobiles ar
rived in the business district with the
greatest numbers of clerks and stenog
raphers to whom they could offer q
s1ift." In many cases the owner of
the car seated himself beside his chauf-
feur, leaving. the dry comfort of closed
cars for girl employees.
Offices Late in Opening
Many Offices and stores were late in
opcping. Almost every employe was late
and it was not until 10 o'clock that
lower Broadway took on its usual pusi-
ness day appearance.
Service on the Brooklyn Rapio

back and forth as rapidly as it was pos

die the 1 1,260, 900 passengers carrie'

Sport, Walking in Rain

Residents of Manhattan Isle, de-
prived of subways and "els, made
a wild scramble this morning for
such surface cars as were running.
Thousands were packed into NOV
ing vans, buses, trucks, horse
drawn buggies and other private
vehicles, at rates from fifty cents up.
Extra railroad traits and ferries
were operated.
Thousands walked - work in the
rain.
Roller skating suddenly became
popular.
