 ALBANY CAR STRIKE

Albany. NY. Feb. 1l.-Ali talk of ae- bitration between the United Traction company and the 1,eoo men who went on strike IT days ago apparently evsporated today when Harry B. Weatherwax. vice president of the company. annouhced that employment offices would be opened to recruit new working forces to operate trolleys in the. seven municipalities af- fected by the walk-out.
 This would be done, he said, as soon as strike-breakers now at work open ur service on all lines in Albany and Troy, most of which still are clogged by snow.
 Meanwhile. the strikers continued prep arations for waging their fight to a fn- ish. They called public meetings at Troy and Wateryiiet to discuss the sit uation and the company's refusal to arbi- trate the 25 per cent. wage reduction which precipitated the strike Entertain ments and other fund raising plans to re- lieve strikers were included in their pro- gram. ' >
 Sub-nornal service on one of the eight lines here was resumed this afternoon but no one was seen patronizing the cars. No disorders were reported today.
