Brooklyn Fights Valiantly
To Overcome Strike Odds
Profiteering Bus Owners and Many Intoxicated
Drivers Add to Troubles of Thousands Who
jam Routes to and From Manhattan

The valiant borough Of Brooklyn is
adapting itself to strike conditions and,
according to sentiments expressed last
| night by several battle-scarred COM
muters, "things amt much worse than
they were when the Brooklyn Rough
house Transit was running"
The western drive, which began at
o'clock yesterday morning and reached
the height of its fury about two hours
later, was at its worst at the junction
of the marlborough subway and the
Long Island Railroad at Atlantic and
Flatbush avenues.
There the battle that had Manhattan
as its objective was waged as furiously
as it was on Monday morning, but the
improvised transit facilities seemed to
work better and by 10 o'clock the At
lantic Avenue sector had Gained down
to something approaching its normal
aspect.
Last night, when the tide of travel
again turned toward Brooklyn, there
were chaotic scenes about the Will
lamsburg and Manhattan bridgeheads.
The drivers of independent vehicles
seemed to have lost the good humor
that marked their Monday night &C.
tlvities and the wearied Brooklyn resi-
dents struggling to get home wit
have drawn large gate" if they had
had professional promoters behind
them.
Many Drivers Intoxicated
The flood Of gold that deluged the
BUS owners on Sunday and Monday
had the effect of placing "hooch" with
yesterday manipulated their cars as
though they bad spent hard night.
HALF of these drivers are drunk"
said resident &C Flatbush last nirht
who had decided to walk rather than
take a chance on a chauffeur who had
taken liberties with the Eighteenth
Amendment.
Last night" he continued, 81 board
williamsburg Bridge, bound for Ocean
Parkway. They charged me SO cents
and l never thought | would make it.
When we cot out of the jam and hit
some of the open thorouyhfares Of
brooklyn that driver simply put his
loot on the gas and drove at muir
derous pace.
He went through one street that
'au peen closed Tor repairs, taking
with him the wooden horses and blanks
and red lights that had been put up to
warn autoists that the street was not
to be used.
This driver was rather considerate.
ct that, for every time we hit bump
and bounced fifteen or twenty feet in
the air. he would turn around and
shout: Are we all here?' On another
occasion when we sideswiped a church
he put on more speed and turned
around shouting: Somebody call the
rcll."
Many Have Wild Rides
Many Brooklynites reported having
wild rides behind drivers who had
apparently found bartenders willing to
snare their Monday earnings and not
a few were left stranded in parts of
the borough that were as far from
Their homes as their places of employ
nicnt in Manhattan.
Policemen stationed at the various
prldgeheads last night reported that
the traffic had diminished considerably.
and attributed this to the fact that
more people were taking advantage of
the available water routes. There
appeared tc be more congestion at the
Manhattan and Williamsburg Bridge
entrances during the rush hours last

you why you went to zee Judge Mayer?"
ITO discuss with him the same ques-
tions I discussed with you yesterday"
replied Mr. Barrett.
aWell, them" concluded Mr.. Fridiger,
"you have our answer. Let me add
only that the moment you and Judge
Mayer accept arbitration, bona fide
arbitration, our men go back to work,
and we agree to abide absolutely by
the decision of the arbitration board.
Until you do accept arbitration, the
only civilized manner of settling indus
trial disputes, this strike will con-
tinue"
Whereupon Commissioner Barrett ad
journed the hearing until 1880 O'Clock
this morning.

Pickpockets Gain by Strike

Passengers on the Grand and Des-
brosses streets surface cars running
from Manhattan to Brooklyn over the
Williamsburg Bridge were warned yes
terday by the police that this -oute is
Offering great opportunity to pick

been arrested already.
The pickpockets arc doing most Of
their work in the vicinity Of Hudson and
Greenwich streets, and it was at that
point that Detectives Mugge and Raftis
