FEELING INCREASES
 IN N. ". CAR STRIKE
Strikers and Strike Breakers Uneasy During WaIkout of Brooklyn
 TranspOrtation Men.

New York, Sept 2.-The strike of Brooklyn Rapid Transit Co. employees that has seriously crippled service on the subway. elevated and surface lines in Brooklyn since, last Sunday, ap- peared to have evolved today into a deadlock with considerable bitter ness between the strikers and 5000 strike breakers brought in by the company. Little hope of peaceful settlement was seen by the strikers the company or the public.
 Mayor Hylan was considering a proposal of the men that the company make an offer of a wage increase that would be acceptable to Judge Mayer, legal custodian of the system. and that all other questions be arbi- trated. One of the chief bones of con- tention has been Judge Mayors re- fusal to permit arbitration of a wage increase because, he held, an award might be made which would be ruin- ous to the already involved lines.
 Meanwhile the company announced its intention for further increasing service with the aid of additional strike breakers who were reported to be arriving in large numbers Their arrival was admitted to add luther impediments to amicable settlement.
 A few sporadic skirmishes between isolated groups of strikers and strike breakers and the stoning of a few elevated trains were reported earn, today but there was no serious dis order.
 B. R. T. officials announced that 127 subway and elevated trains compos- ing 439 coaches and 149 surface trol- leys were tin operation today. Seven surface car lines were running as against four yesterday
 Strike Leader Shea, Louis Fridiger the strikers chief counsel and John J, Reardon, national organizer, called on Mayor Hytan at City hall this morn ing. Fridiger denied that any stated amount of wage increase had been decided upon as a demand.
