By 8 o'clock last night Jersey City
and Hoboken had resumed something
of their normal calm and reports from
the outlying Jersey towns indicated the
best part of the population had reached
home to cold supper.
Trolley cars leaving Hoboken and
Jersey City were crowded so that by
mental comparison the ordinary non
strike jams seemed comfortable.
The Military Engineering Commit
tee, in letter sent last night to the
heads Of the railroad brotherhoods
and the railroad officials, offers to con-
duct a RECRUITING campaign among the
colleges, technical schools and similar
sources for volunteers to take the
places of the strikers.
The Board of Trade of Passaic, num-
berng 25O members, last night volun-
teered its services to railroad Off
clals in any capacity for the purpose
of keeping trains moving. The board
also sent kilograms to Attorney Cen
railroad officials demanding that every
means be used to restore service on
the roads.
Hundreds of commuters from Bergen
County who used the Susquehanna,
New Jersey and New York railroads
piled into Hackensack from busses and
private motor cars. all anxious to take
the Hudson River trolley to the both
Street ferry. Crowds jammed into the
Pike line trolleys and were carried to
the Hoboken ferries Many walked two
miles to the Bogota station on the
West Shore Railroad, upon hearing
that trains were running over that
road. The Public Service Corporation
doubled its trolley service between
| Tenahy, Englewood and the Fort Lee
ferry. Fred L. Colver, member of
the resolutions committee of Tenafy
commuters mass meeting, said that
volunteer crews to man the Erie trains
would not be resorted to unless the
trolley service was abandoned.
Acting Mayor G. F. Kennedy, of Ten
aAy, called on a half dozen civil en-
gineers last night to select volunteer
citizen crews that may be called upon
in an emergency. Other towns in the
county were taking similar action, and
Sheriff Joseph Kinzelly jr., of Hacken-
sack was to be asked to deputize as
many men as ask for authority.
The Bergen deputies, who will be ex-
pected to form an armed guard on
trains, will be made Federal deputies
so that they may avoid conflicts with
the municipal authorities Of Jersey
City. The Nyack police have promised
to give the volunteer crews every pro-

trip to Manhattan and return: Those
among them who reached their Offices
under three hours time were ingenious
persons with an unusual knowledge of
the trolley lines, or else they were pos
sessed of enough money to pay the
prohteering prices of taXicab and bus
chaufeurs.
50 extortionate were these prices
S25 for twenty-mile journeys in some
lnstances-that thousands arranged to
remain in Manhattan until the strike
is ended.
At the Hotel McAlpin alone last
night there were 900 employees of
banks, department stores and the tele

served for them earlier in the day by
their employers.
Long lines of commuters were

Trolley Strike Rumored
On all the ferryboats and in Hoboken.
Jersey City and Weehawken the crowds
buzzed with gossip of possible strike
of Public Service Corporation trolley
employees. William Wepner, state
chairman of the trolleymen's union,
issued statement addressed to the
people OF New Jersey in which he said
the rumor was baseless.
In Jersey City and Hoboken last
night automobiles and pedestrians filled
the streets and sidewalks for three
blocks about the ferry houses. Thou
sands of commuters evidently had been
inspired by the same thought, after the
dlificulties OF the morning, and had
telephoned their wives to drive their
automobile sto the particular ferry
house they patronize. That part of the
program was all right. but there were

Tenafly Folk Denounce
Rail Strike as Tyranny
Resolutions in Mass Meeting
Call on Governor and State
to End Walk.Out

j. P. G. Kennedy, acting Mayor Of
Tenafly, N. j., said yesterday that he
regretted that sentiments of lawless-
ness had been reported as the genera |
feeling Of the gathering which packed
the Tenafly High School Sunday night.
where there was talk of lynching rail
road strikers.
He said that was not the sense of
the meeting, and that the resolutions
passed called on the President, Con-
gress, the Governor and the Legisla-
ture to exercise all their powers in
behalf Of the law-abiding majority Of
the citizens to cause resumption of
railroad traffic
The resolutions which were sent to
| Federal and state authorities we're
passed unanimously. They held that
the strike was illegitimate and savored
of syndicalism and direct action, and
that since it was an effort by the
minority to impose its will on the ma
lorlty 1t was intolerable tyranny, dis
turbed the process of commerce and in
dustry and endangered the lives of
citizens. They appealed to the strikers
to return to work Immediately. with the
assurance the people desired to see the

One Lackawanna trainioad of COM
nuters made the adventuresome trip
from the hinterland of New Jersey to
Hoboken and back yesterday without
much delay and without any loss of
temper. This train was made up at
Morristown, and the crew were white
collared Manhattan business and pro-
fessional men, working under the
guidance of an engineer and conductor.
1t was predicted last night the sue
cessful operation by passengers Of this
train would result in the placing in
service Of MANY such trains on all the
crippled roads.
This "Millionaire Special" as it was
promptly dubbed, made the thirty
schedule time. On the return trip last
night the train reached Morristown
two minutes late, but that might have
been due to the exceptional load of
passengers.
Passengers as Firemen
Three of the passengers served as
firemen, working in short relays. They
were Henry Rawle, a naval officer dur
ing the war; John V. Stedman, vice
president of the Prudential Insurance
Company of America, and Alfred
Maury, a veteran of the A. E. F., who
was decorated overseas and is now
eligible for q decoration from his fel-
low commuters.
The assistant conductor was Major
Samuel Gillespie. The regular con-
ductor, a man who has grown white
haired in the service of the Lacka-
wanna, was William Ayres. The en-
gineer was George Slack, also veteran

There were almost a score of others

men and even as porters.

Communication service, said the citizens
Of the Oranges and Montclair had ap-
pealed to him for an opportunity to
have the same chance that was given
the people of Morristown, and that he
intended to give it to them.
Legion Men Volunteer
William Clarke, commander Of the
N. j., telephoned Mr. Rine last night
that he had called q meeting of the
officers of the post, and they had voted
to offer the services of the memb bers
as volunteer trainmen for the morning
and evening runs.
Mr.. Rine told Mr.. Clarke to get in
touch with the conductor and engineer
of the train which is made up daily
at Bernardsville. He said that if they
were willing to make the run under
such circum stances the road would be
glad to have the train operated.
But the "millionaire special" carried
only a minute fraction of the swarms
of persons who sought to make the

Carmen Not to Strike
The rumor that the New Jersey
trolley workers would strike, freely
discussed at strike meetings of The
railway employees during the after
noon. was denied in a statement last
night by William Wepner, chairman of
the Newark Branch Of the Amalga-
mated Association Of Street and Elec-
tric Railway Employees of America.
Wepner's statement, addressed ITO the
travelling public" reads:
All reports of strike meetings or
strikes on the part of the trolley en-
ployees in Jersey City are absolutely
false and without foundation. The
trolieymen of New Jersey are working
faithfully and will continue to do so.
They will remain loyal to their or
ganlzation and to the interests of the
public, whom they serve.

founded statements on the front pages
Of some of the newspapers regarding
strike meetings, and also condemn the
editorials on the same. Any grievances
we have will be settled by proper
methods.

With Unions Fails

ALBANY, April 12.-In an ef-

possible, complete tie-up of
traffic in the state, Governor
Smith tonight held a conference
with representatives of the rail-
road brotherhoods in the Execu-

While the conference agreed
not to discuss what transpired, it
is known that the Governor feels
himself somewhat helpless, since

great light on the situation.
