NEW YORK, July 6.-The strike

but at noon it seemed certain that

peak load this morning when work
ers began pouring into lower Man

factories.
Curtailed service operated by
emergency men on the |. r. Il. lines,
plus the overflow which the B. NJ. T.

handle, carried several hundred
thousand to work.
More hundreds of thousands came
on the elevated lines; on several

Although people got to work and

streets was tremendous. Sometimes
traffic on Broadway stood still for
as much as ten minutes while po-
lice attempted to unsnarl it.

Under this plan. if we were to start.
