SUBWAY SYSTEM AT NEW YORK CONGESTION IN TRAFFIC RE- SULTS FROM WALK-OUT OF OPERATORS AT MIDNIGHT HOUR (Ry Associnted Presa) NEW YORK, July 6—This city|' today was in the throes of a strike on. its principal subway system, which daily transports more pas- sengers than comprises the popu- lation of Chicago. Reports assembled nine hours after the motormen and switch- men of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company went on strike at midnight for increased wages showed that a curtailed service was being maintained. by strike- | breakers and that there was some | congestion, especially at the morning “peak” rush hour. The jservice to Brooklyn was tempor- arily abandoned. Some express trains were being operated at 15 minute intervals instead of on the usual three min- ute schedules. The “local’’ ser vice, where stqps. were made at every station, was faster than the express. system. eee No violence was __ reported. Ne 7,900 policemen were as) nat. the strategic points to maintain order and biue coats were on every train eats ing the crews. Thousands of persons on their way to work, anticipating delays, forsook their ustal* underground lines busses, railroad train and trolleys This caused overcrowding above the ground but eased the task of the subway system. eeneeoeosecoeerewvsoseces MARINE NOTES Baveeceoecevrssve F.E.

This liquor has been taken in raids and catches from time to time in the recent past. The cargo of the launch Woodrow recently sold by the customs officials, is represented in the lot, as is also the load taken from the little Ford truck recently soid on the block here for $8 by the customs officials.
