Being Used---Many Walk

BY The Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Aug. 30.-More than
1000, 900 Brooklyn residents who de-
pend on the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company to take them to business
today were reduced to improvised
of company employees which virtual
ly paralyzed the system. suburbs,
elevated roads and trolleys.
Long before the accustomed rush
hour the streets were jammed with
pedestrians looking for vehicles.
Hundreds of business houses arrang-
ed to have the trucks canvass the
homes of employees but these failed
to accommodate the thousands en-
ployed in offices that could furnish
no such conveyances.
Hundreds swarmed the sidewalks
(trudging their way to their distant
places of business. Many gave up in
disgust and decided to take days
vacation.
In addition to pressing private
autos into service, Grover A. Wha-
len, commissioner of plants and
structures, assembled fleet of cars
estimated at between 500 and /. 900.
These he announced would run from
Brooklyn and Manhattan during the
morning rush and back to Brooklyn
during the evening carrying approx
imately 10000 passengers at single
trip. The fare was five cents. Six
chartered steamboats, and two city
police boats were also put into SER
vice, carrying passengers from Coney
Island and East river points.
Because of the almost unprece-
dented jam during the early rush
hours, the Brooklyn. Williamsburgh
and Manhattan bridges were made
one-way thoroughfares.
Although hearings on the strike
situation was called by Lindley Gar
rison and Mayor Hylan there appar-
emily was little hope of ending the
strike.
Officiais announced they would
run as many trains as. possible al
though little hope was expressed at
being able to obtain even sen1b-
lance of the regular traffic.
