Silver City Independent: In one
of the most exciting rock drilling
contests in years, the Tyrone team
composed of Teodozo Biguira and
Pascual Bobios, won from the Sill
yer City team composed of Rosendo
Agnirre and Tranquilino Morales.
The contest, staged beyond he
Pope street bridge, was held Sun

lected to watch the contest and
many wagers were made, over
81 600 changing hands on the re-
suit, in addition to the side bet of
5000 made by each team.
The result was exceedingly close,
the difference when time was called
being e-sixteenths Of an inch,

81 SIS inches.

men have made their headquarters.
There was noticeable lack of enthu-
siasm and many complaints were regis
tered that Shea and Fridiger were not
displaying sufficient energy in the
fight. About $50 of the men bore signs
OF beatings which, they declared. were
administered by the police.
Sheridan amplified his statement re-
speeding the threatened wslk-out Of the
motormen, signalmen and towermen on
the elevated and subway lines by say
ing that he had just been in confer
ence with Edwin Smith and Hugh Flat
terry, members Of the executive commit
tee of the Amalgamated, who had re-
turned from secret meeting Of the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers,
with which the motormen are affaliat-
ed. in South Brooklyn. At the meet
ing, according to Sheridan, q delega-
ton Of the signalmen and towermen
was present.
The brotherhood decided TO send q
delegation to Judge Mayer to-day,
added Sheridan, to make one last ap-
peal to him to agree to arbitration Of
the differences between the strikers
and the officials of the road. Sheridan's
announcement left the strong impress
sion upon the workers that the brother
hood men and the men from the two
other departments would walk-out un-
less something was done to end the
deadlock before another day passed.

Only 40 Of 100
Women Agents ON

Sixty Absent, but Twenty of
These Are Reported Ill;

League M q m b ers Loyal

A careful checking up Of all the
stations Of the elevated and subway
systems Of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
yesterday showed that only sixty Of
the 1890 women employed - ticket
agents were absent from their posts.
According to Superintendent Burns,
chief Of the stations department Of the
B. r. T., about forty Of the sixty
women are out on strike. The rest
have reported i'll.
Eight hundred Of the women Of the
B. R. T. are members Of the Women's
EQUAL Opportunity League. The rest
either have ne union Affiliations or be-
long to the Amalgamated Association.
Many of those holding membership in
the Amalgamated were found to be on
duty yesterday when q special train car
rying officials OF the Equal Opportunity
League and several reporters made a
tour Of the Brooklyn elevated system.
When one of the women was asked
whether she intended to strike she re-
piled: Il should say not. My hus-
band died in the war and I've . child
to support. When some representa-
tives Of the union came to me and told
mo to stay home I told them I would
quit for month if they would pay me
four weeks salary in advance. That's
the only way would strike"
In answer to the same question an
other member Of the Amalgamated said:
Nobody has asked me 70 strike, L
don't even know what it is all about,
and l don't want to know. The strike
may be all right, but it won't make a
hit with me until the milkmen leave
free milk and the bakers give their
bread away"

200 Armored Cars
To Be Run To-day
On Surface Lines

Arrangements for police to man
more than double the number Of sur
face cars in operation yesterday were
made last night by officials Of the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit Company. 1t was
announced at the office IF Receiver
Garrison that at LEASE 200 cars would
start this morning. Normally 1850
are run.
Only seventy-fve surface cars were
operated yesterday and these did not
appear to be heavily patronized,
though many Brooklynites made use
Of them during the evening rush hour.
All the cars we're inclosed in heavy
wire netting and there was policeman
on front and rear platforms. No at
tempt was made to run cars across the
Brooklyn Bridge to Park Row.
Service on the elevated and subway
lines yesterday did not show a marked
Improvement over that of Tuesday,
About 100 trains, comprising 400 cars,
were running when the service reached
the peak of efficiency during the at
ternoon.
Brighton trains were run to Coney
Island, but no attempc was made to
operate over the Sea Beach line, where
two trains were stoned Tuesday night.
Additional trains will be added on all
subway and elevated lines to-day, it
was said by the management.
Policemen on motorcycles along the
lines over which cars we're operated
augmented the guard at either end Of
the cars. 1t was a heyday for the
strike breakers. The fare registers in
many cases remained stationary and
the men made no secret of the fact
that pickins' were good. About one
fare in twenty was recorded for the
company on some cars

British Leaders
Expect to Avert
National Strike
Triple Alliance of Unions
Looks for Compromise
by Government; Horne
Awaits Labor Farley Offer
From Tho Trsou~e's European Bursas

FROM Tho Trt6nHe'S Eur0pedn Bur10W
Copyright, 1890. New York Tribune INC.
LONDON, Sept. 1.-The British in
dustrial situation Is extremely grave,
but there still is justification for hope
that national strike will be averted.
The chief reason for optimism Is the
knowledge that the British generally
reach q compromise when danger
threatens all classes.
The Triple Alliance, a gigantic COM
bination of union workers, met again
to-day after deciding that the coal
miners demands were both reasonable
and just, but the leaders are simply
marking time, hoping that the govern
ment will make a move which will re-
lieve them from the responsibility Of
throwing the whole country into chaos
through stoppage of all work.
Sir Robert Horne, who is acting for
the Cabinet, seemed confident that tho
workers leaders would approach MIN
with an offer which might serve az the
basis of negotiations and eventually Of
a settlement of the differences. Robert
Smile, president of the Miners Fed
eratlon, has won the moral support OF
leaders outside the coal trade, but
nevertheless there is little sentiment
favoring strike even among workers,
who would suffer just as much as the
dsinterested public.
Tomorrow is the date fixed for hand
ing in the strike notice, which would
expire on September IS, provided no
settlement is reached meanwhile.
LONDON. Sept. (By The Associ-
ated Press).-The Evening News as
serts tonight the Triple Alliance Of
labor-the railwaymen, transport work
ers and miners-will not adopt media
ton between the miners and the gov
eminent. On the contrary, the news
paper says the railwaymen and trans
port workers have pledged full and
active support to the miners should a
strike be decided upon at to-morrow's
conference Of delegates of the three
unions.

Is Expected to Stand Pat
Past Record of Court Said to Indicate He Will

made II issues involved were submitted
to board of arbiters.
Those closest to Judge Mayer be-
lieve the only basis upon which the
present tie-up can be ended is the one
he already has outlined. They say the
so-called victory Of the union last year
was won through q strike that took the
court entirely by surprise. They
point to long career of public serv-
ice, singularly free from compromise,
as evidence that he will stand pat in
the present situation.
Judge Mayer is in no wise new to
such controversies. As Attorney Cen
eral under Governor Higgins the duty
of enforcing the law in the Equitable
case devolved upon him, in 1905. From
that date his political and judicial ca
reer has been marked by a seires Of
contentious.
Judge Mayer is fifty-hve years old.
He was graduated from the College of
the City of New York and Columbia
Law School: In 1902 he was appointed
by Mayor Low justice of the Court
of Special Sessions to succeed former
District Attorney Jerome. He resigned
from the bench two years later to en-
ter the campaign as candidate for
Attorney General. He was appointed a
Federal district judge of the Southern
District of New York by President
Taft in 1912.

center Of contention in the B. r. T.
strike, is of stature entirely dispropor-
tionate to the prominence Of the posi-
ton no holds in the public eye. He is
but few inches taller than five feet.
Yet his appearance is not without a
suggestion of strength. His broad
shoulders and somewhat heavily built

ity. Once he had dug his toes in he
might be expected to be q hard man to

That is precisely what ne is proving
