The kause is a strike in his pet subway, which forms a huge H, be- neath the surface of Manhattan Is- land and enables the New Yorker normally to get quickly from any part of the island to any other as the result of high-speed expresses and lo- cal gervice in the four-track tubes. The first day of the strike: saw the number ‘of trains and the speed cut in_haif. Doubtful whether he could get to or from work, the average New York- er avoided the strike-bound Inter- borough Rapid Transit Co’s subways and used other means of P tion, including Shank’s mare. ' In- stead of a step or two to & nearby subway station, he usually walked block after block ‘to one of the four elevted lines that parallel the sub- way. Ordinarily the elevated is so little used relatively that the Inter- borough advertises its merits in order to relieve the subway crush. Hundreds of busses in places saved some residents long walks, Busses and private cars made heavy conges- tion in some streets. More than 3,000,000 people have found their trips to and from business lengthened by anything from 15 min- utes to an hour because of the strike of some 700 subway motormen and switchmen for wages of $1 & hour, a 20 per cent . In coptrast to the number of strikers, some 25,000 traction employes are remaining at work, including those on the Interborough and other companies. - One subway in down- town Manhattan and Brooklyn is not affected by the strike. Elevated Men Quitting. The second day of the strike opened with the strikers claiming support of the motormen and switchmen on the elevated lines. Sixty elevated em- ployes were said to hame joined the ‘walkout during the night To these claims, an official of the company retorted: “If the entire grou| with the strikers,” , vated lines woild run as usual.’ James L.Quakenbush, counsel, said the company had a total of 749 com- petent motormen and switchmen to operate the subways, compared with the 736 who operate it in normal times. He said that 109 of these men were returned strikers. The strikers were informed that an attempt would be made to, call out house . employes. Policemen were on every subway station platform and an officer car- rying a riot stick rode in the first car of every train. There was no disorder the first day. Some half a dozen ar- rests were made, one non-striker get- ting five days in jaill for calling a a scab, On the Stock Exchange, Inter- borough closed 2% higher.
