Continued improvement marks the
service Of the II. II. T. system. while
the strike leaders are hoping for
to happen Which will bring
about a situation enabling the men
to return. The service OF the elevated

and F1atbush- Seventh Avenue lines
we're operated until midnight, with

This morning. for the first time
since the strike began. the old famil-
lar clang Of the stationary bell punch
was heard on the surface cars. The
new conductors are ringing up the
fares and the days OF get the money
boys are over for the strikebreakers.
Both sides seemed TO see hope to-
day in Gov. Smiths entrance into the
strike situation. The Governor Is to
meet Samuel Gompers OF the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor and James
A. Vahey, counsel for the Amalga-
mated Union, on Monday.
What his plan is he did not reveal,
and union leaders were silent on the
subject. As Gov. Smith said nothing
about Joining in an appeal to Fed
eral Judge Mayer. who has made
plain his determination to have moth
ing to do with the Amalgamated. II
iB believed the Governor may have in
view some other means OF breaking
the deadlock.
A number of Amalgamated leaders
were in Albany Thursday in regard
to the Buffalo strike. and it is known
they also took up the Brooklyn strike
with the Governor.
Amalgamated officers and repre-
sentatlves OF the American Fedora
ton OF Labor told a poorly attended
meeting Of strikers in Brooklyn last
night that II they stood pat they
would win. The men were informed
that the strilSebreakers were desert
ing and that at least 400 had already
failed to report for work.
I'VE are going to win this strike
said Vice President Shea Of the
Amalgamated. "All we want you to
do Is stick It out. Wen win through
the conference Monday attended by
Gov. Smith. Samuel Gompers and
other prominent officials and labor
leaders. so certain Is Mr.. Gompers
that, we are going to win this strike
that he cancelled an important en-
gagement in another part of the
country TO participate in the confer
ence with the Governor"
with the B. II. T. officials. the idle
former employees, and the Brooklyr
public heartily sick of conditions. the
chances for a settlement Monday are
regarded as good.
