The Mayors statement Is as follows:
"As Mayor OF the city of New York.
I desire to thank the people Of the city
and especially Of the Borough OF Brook
Ign, for the patience and good nature Cd
hibited by them in the recent strike.
The people of Brooklyn should not
have been subjected to the terrors of
any strike. An obstinate Federal re-
ceiver who refused to see or listen to
a committee, representing his employees

with the least possible discomforts be
aided in their struggle to procure 9
decent living.
