 Spread Ouer Nation
(Continued from Page D

A federal mediator took charge o attempts to obtain 8 truce while B.. 900 striking men and women parad' ed Park avenue, smashing platt glass doors and windows and fight. ing 8 guerilla battle with police. men.
 Something like 8 million New Workers continued to walk up ant down skyscraper stairs while tht street fights ragged and the media. tors talked. Some grumbled, some cheered the strikers, few tired o1 the role of innocent bystanders, organized a tenants defense union.'
 Virtually all buildings where elevator operators, firemen, janitors maids, bell hops, switchboard opera tors and mechanics struck Sunday or Monday had restored heating facilities to normal today, but ele- vator and jaritor service was al least 80 per cent subpar.
 Strikebreaker Supply
 Employment and detective agencies specializing in supplying strike breakers, said they had sent more than 10000 men to jobs the strikers quit. They said they could have sent more, but strikebreakers accustomed to $l2 to $l5 @ day didn't fancy facing strong picket lines for the $6 Q day generally of- fered by hotels.
 One agency said 1t had obtained 75 men from Chicago, 30 from Cleveland and 65 from Pittsburgh. It expected more today.
 The strikebreakers. provided eleva- tor service in some buildings and manned heating plants in others but almost universally baked at floor sweeping, bell hoppings or cham ber.maiding.
 James J. Bambrick, New York head of the Building Service Em- ployes' International Union, ordered all union men to obey Rice's ore ders for service in emergency cases.
 Pull Whole Works Out
 Both Bainbrjc and William D. Rawlins, executive secretary of the realty advisory board, said they had small hope that McGrady would achieve an immediate settlement. "We'll probably have to pull the whole works out to bring them to their senses" Bambrick said. Tt looks like long fight to @ finish" Street fighting between midnight and 3 a. m. was proof of the strik- ers' rising temper. Five thousand strikers heard Bambrick and other union leaders report in the Star Casino last night that "the owners are stubborn as riaules," and left the hall to demonstrate on Park ave- nue, where picketing has been heaviest since Monday.
 The paraders ran into a scuffle with policemen the minute 1t turned into the Ritzy avenue. The police were few, the paraders many. The marchers walked over, around and through the policemen.
 Bricks Begin To Sail
 But a block farther Q brick sailed out of the parade ranks. Glass in Q bronze grilled door shattered. A nightstick cracked a head. A woman screamed and a man striker swung a fist. Policemen poured out of doorways, alleys and side street. Two hundred paraders and the knot of policemen disappeared down the side street with the isolated strikers breaking into flight. But the body of the marchers continued. The whole length of the avenue was naraded with similar scuffles at ale most every intersection. Twelve times during the march brick sail' ed from the darkness and a door or window crashed. White faced clerks guards in gilt and plush Hobbies ducked behind desks, potted palms and chairs. Police clubs swung and men fell out every few yards.
