rot called until every fair method to
reach an amicable settlement had been
exhausted. The strike is q result Of
many hardships which the men have
suffered for many years. The walkout
was not suggested by either Of the
union leaders of the executive commit
tee that called on Mr.. Garrison, but
was demanded by the 5000 men and
women who attended the meetings last
night and this morning
Immediately upon hearing Receiver
Garrison's reply the employees clam
ored for a strike. Evidence of the good
faith OF the employees was shown when
the first motion to strike, the order to
take effect Immediately. was amended
SO that the order would not take effect
until o'clock this morning.
This action Is that Of the men and
women themselves and will be supported
to the end by the amalgamated asso-
citation. The spirit displayed by those
who attended the meetings clearly indi-
Gates that It Is only a question of a
short time until the employees will have
won complete victory and freedom to
organize"

Even the motormen Of the rapid

The ANAL tieup Of the system came

Several cars with policemen on the run
ming board had been started from va
rious outlying stations and had made
trips without trouble. though through a
storm OF boots and Jeers. Three cars OF
the Mobile" type were started from the
F1atbush avenue station with inspectors
at the controllers and policemen or
board. One inspector had his wife as q
passenger and one car had . woman
conductor.
The hrst car was allowed to pass I'M
molested, but the crowd swarmed onto
the tracks In front of the second. Some
one cut the trolley rope after pulling
the pole on the wire and swapping il
into the air. Some one else tempered
with the air brakes and theh car was
sent back TO the barns.
The third car was in charge of In
spector Joseph WEIGH. who had his wife
on board. A conductorette was at the
doors and several policemen were on
board. As the crowd rushed the car the
police rushed the crowd. The conduc-
torette tainted, and when the melee
cleared up there were a half dozen
broken heads about the tracks. John
Callahan was arrested for cutting the
trolley rope.

 Monday is to see the commence ment of the final action on the covenant of the league of nations This probably will be the outstand- ing feature of the peace conference during the ear,y days of the week. There are French, Japanese and Belgian amendments already passed upon to be recOnsidered in pnrt and adjusted, but it is reported in Paris advices that progress in this direction has already been made.
 Sunday passed quietly in peace conference circles in Paris. No meetings were held by the members of the council of three in an en- deavOr to disentangIe the situation arising from the controversy over ItaIy's claims to Plume and the Dalmatian coast.
 President Wilson planned as q z day of relaxation from the arduOus work connected with the peace con ference n motor trip preparatory to the league of nations discussion and the meeting later in the week at Versailles with the German dele gates, who nre to receive the ai- lied and associated governments peace terms.

George, the British prime minister, sought n change of atmosphere in n visit to the devastated regions nIong the old battlefront. All the main Italian delegates to the peace conference, headed by Premier Or lando and Baron sonnino, the for eign minister, either are in Rome, where the premier shortly is to ap- pear before the Chamber of Depu- ties to acquaint that body with the situation in Paris. or are on their way thithcr. At last accounts the Italian people still were cIamOring for the carrying out to the full of their demands with regard to Plume and the Dalmatian coast and islands, but President Wilson and the French and British premiers remained adamant. Not alone in Italy is the feeling prevalent that ItaIy's ambitions should he real ized, as reports have been received of demonstratiOns in Plume in fa- vor of~the annexation of the sea port to Italy. An American na- tienaI military cemetery was dedi- .cated Sunday in a section of France near the bnttIefieIds, where Amerf- cans laid down their lives for the cause of the world.
