LAPORTE, PENNA., THURSDAY, JULY 2(1 1899. liltY HI SIRHL The Long Expected Trouble Materializes on Brook lyn Surface Lines. CARS ARE STILL RUNNING Many Scenes of Disorder Are Wit nessed Along the Lines Affected by the Big Strike. Motormen and Conductors Taken From Their Cars and Koughly Handled—Police Kept Busy Dig. perslng Crowds Women Plead With New Employes. Brooklyn, N. Y., July IS.—lt has been conceded on all sides for the past three or for weeks that dissatisfaction exist ed among the employes of the Brook lyn Heights and Nassau trolley lines, and that to have the alleged grievances settled a strike was liable to be de clared at any time. Efforts were made on several occasions to adjust the dif ferences between the employers and the employes, but all these efforts were without success, and the matter tiual ly came to a focus when all rlie employes on the Brooklyn trolley sys tem were ordered by the head officials of the Knights of l,abor to leave their several posts of duty at once, and the majority of them obeyed. The Executive Committee of the Knights of Labor had been iu confer ence i|ll night with the delegates of the Brooklyn locals, and when it was an nounced that the various roads of the! BrookhV Heights system were to be tied up. some of the cars near the pow «r house were run in Immediately aud j aud the strike was under way. All the Hues of the Nassau system | were either tied up completely or run with great difficulty under police pro-1 lection. ICleveated roads are still ruu-1 niug. Trouble began early. At Third ave nuc and Thirty-ninth street a mob. af ter blocking tiie road, held up the cars and ordered the passengers out. Fre «iunjt clashes at this point kept the po * busy. , The tirst arrest was made near the] power house at Fifty-eighth street : and Third uremic. Motormen and con ductors who attempted lo run out cars were pulled from tiie platform aud roughly handled. The police charged the strikers seven! limes, finally tak ing one man Into custody. Chief Dever.v assumed command of the police I'oty. remaining at head •piarters, send Tig all orders from there. Dili' thousand men were scul to Brook lyn from Mauhattau. mid the mount ed squad and detailed officers were all ordered held in reserve. Seven of the mounted stptad are being used by the Chief as couriers. All vacations on the police force have been cancelled, and the men on leave in the different boroughs hove been re called. officials of the Brooklyn Heights Company still claim thai there will be uo general tie-up. They say they will run their cars on schedule time. At llockaway aud Liberty avenues women gathered and took up the cause of the strikers. They pleaded with the new men to leave their cars ami have been successful in more than one in stance. There was rioting on up|M>r Fulton street in tiie Hast New York section, and one policeman was forced to use his revolver iu lighting the crowd. The mob at Third avenue aud Thirty-ninth street, after Iteing dis persed by the police, returned aud de railed a locomotive. Placing that and a car across the tracks blocked traffic. Without the slightest liitcfi or excite ment the strike was declared on at Coney Island and rimer Park. I'uion men at both terminals waited around the stations, and as fast as the cars arrived the motormeu and conductors were told of the action of the meeting and promptly left their cars. The old Nassau Railroad at West End. the Sea Beach. Culver and Brigh ton Beach sheds were jammed with cars left deserted by the motormen and conductors. At Ulmer Park or Cnionvlile, where the Rapid .Transit Company lias one of its largest sheds, strikers' represen tatives were waiting for cadi car as it arrived from Brooklyn. These were boarded and the men told of tiie strike. The Bath Beach. Bcnsoiihui si and Fifth avenue cars which stopped there were immediately abandoned lit their crews, while the through cars toConev Idaud were allowed t<: go through to their destination. These were left nt Coney Island. Police Captain Kenny, who is in charge of the Coney Island Precinct, had all his reserves around the sta tions and prevented the strikers from gathering iu a crowd near any of tlieni. Strict orders to keep the men moving were enforced . "I do not anticipate any t>ouble," said the Captain, "but of course we are ready for it." The Rapid Transit officials say that if the strike continues they will re store the old steam railway system and run their locomotives and trains over the trolley tracks. The old Culver route will be used and traffic handled without serious inconvenience. A crowd gathered aud set Are to a lot of tar barrels ou the tracks ou Park avenue, which prevented the running of cars for some time. At the Ridire wood car hurus The |Rilice were driven nack by a demonstrative crowd, and it became necessary to call for reinforce ments in order to clear a way for cars to pass in and out of tbe barns. A conference lias been called to con sider the advisibillty of calling for military protection. Grand Master Workman l'arsons says that unless tbe strikers' demands are compled with at once the entire trolley syste mof Brooklyn will be tied up and completely paralyzed. It is stated that the niotormen of the Met ropolitan line of New York art ready togo out in aid of the Brooklyn strik» ers. President Itossiter. of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit system, says "eveyttalßg Is lovely," that his company's cars are running and that he considers his enn ployes loyal. The employes of the vafed road may go out In sympathy with the trolley men, and It is co&sldi ered as not at all improbable that both the surface and elevated systems will he tied up unless a settlement of the difficulty is reached very soon. In one of the riots that took place a inotorman was hit in tbe head with a brick and seriously If not fatally in jured. The police have made about forty arrests. A considerable number of these are iu connection with the stoning of President Hosslter's private car. Since the strike was declared the men who have taken the strikers' places have been kept busy dodging stones, bricks and other missiles, and the police have had their hands full dinpersing crowds and quelling small riots that have constantly been taking place along the affected lines. A num ber of motormeu and conductors have been taken from the cars and so rough ly handled that they refused to take, any farther chances and gave >ip in despair. The principal cause of the difficulty is that the employes demaud that the time tables shall lie arranged on all lines so as to comply with the ten-hour law work day and that the prevailing rate of wages shall l>e $2.00 for each full day's work, ami trips overtime be paid at I'd cents per hour: also that two-thirds of the cars shall lie full-day runs. These demands were refused. Wage Reduction Without Notice. New Brunswick. X. J.. July 17.—The wages of the employes oF the Consoli dated Fruit Jar Works here have been reduced. The employes got no warn ing and did not know their pay had IMM'II reduced until they o]iened their envelopes and found they were 10 per cent, short. The question of sticking is being debated by them. are about :!oil employes. »* Railroad Strike Is Probable. Boston. July 17.-—The labor troubles on the Boston and Malue and New York, New Haven and Hartford rail road systems have reached a stage where a general strike seems probable unless the management of the roads recede from their present position. The strike would involve from 12.0U0 to 15.1**1 employes, and if successful would result iu a complete tie-up of both systems. Woman Burned to Death. Rich view. 111., July 17.—The body of Mrs. C. Meyers, a wealthy widow, liv ing near Irvingtou. was found iu the ruins of her barn, a charred mass of Mesh and bones, it was thought that lier barn caught tire, and that in au at tempt to save her horses she fell atul was burned to death. Soon afterward ft neighlior of Mrs. Meyers went to Irvingtou and had :i warrant issued for a uegro who was working for her, charging liitu with killiug her auil then burning her body in the barn to hide his crime.
