Mayor Schieren, of Brooklyn, this morning read the report of the Friday Assembly Committee on the great trol- Jey strike In which he and Police Com- | missioner Welles were scored, and char- acterized It as another unfounded attack on his reform «dministration. “This report,” said the Mayor, “is only a Gntinuation of the many at- tacks that both houses of the Legixia- ture have been making on the reform Mayors of the State. Upon every pos- sible occasion elther the Assembly or the Senate finds some apparent excuse to launch forth an attack on Mayor Strong of New York; Mayor Jewett, of Buffa- lo; the Mayor of Albany, or myself. “Everything we have advocated for reform they seem determined to down “I do not wish to reply to the attack made in Assemblyman Friday's report.

Campbeil) was too old and not active enough for the place, “The attack of the Friday Committee is unjust, ungenerous and uncalled for. As to the statement that few arrests were made during the first few days of the strike, the answer 1s obvious, “On those days the railroad companies were paralyzed because they could not wet men to man their cars: the cars were only the Court street line wa There was little violence and quently few arrests, to the eriticisms ‘of the Maye myself because we failed to remove | ‘ampbell before the strike, every one knows that the Superintendent can only be removed on charges properly heard, | “The criticisms as to our failure to swear in volunteers or special policemen eary In the strike are equally unfounded, Volinteers at that. time ‘would have | been of no service.

He knew that he was Incompetent to command the force because of his age, lack of memory and want of physical capacity, and this opinion was concurred In by the Com- Missioner of Police, but nevertheless no steps had been taken to secure his removal, and he was at the head of the force when the strike was declared and when the troubles and disorders in the clty broke out. “Such being the case, it pears that the diect command of the force was assumed by the Police Commissioner himself. It docs not appear from the testimony given by the Mayor that the Commissioner of Police had, prior to his assumption of that office, ever been In any similar business, or had any par- ticular qualification or training for the performance of the duties of the Chief of Police, and It is the belief of your Committee that the attempt on hie part to assume the direct executive manage- ment of the police force was necessarily at the time a disturbing element in itself, and a very decided error. “AIL of the evidence goes ciearly to demonstrate the fact that during the first two days of the strike the munici- ballty was strangely lacking in capacity and énergy, and permitted the disorderly element to’ realize the fact that It had the police force of the city at a disad- vantage, and was thereby encouraged to greater disorderliness and more {re- quent and serous breaches of the public Peace. “Your Committee ts of the belief, after hearing the evidence. that at this’ junc: ture the Mayor of the city, as well as his Police Commissioner, | ‘showed most marked lack of fitness and capac ity for the offices which they hold. “The weakness and want of energy on the part of the administration, which prevailed during the early days of the Strike, Were replaced by @ corresponding sternness and rigor after the municipal authorities had permitted the disorders, to gain atch headway as to lead them | to fear that the situation was becoming | Recutlarly serious and fraught with anger "We belleve that they as far exceeded the requirements of the case in calling. in the militia as they disregarded them in not having fully “utilized the police fores of the municipal Government eelf before the militia was called in, “Your Committee is of the opinion. t with an able, firm an thoroughly ener- getle municipal government tt never at any time have been neces to have called in militia, In plain Eng- lish, {t is the belle of the Committee thai the municipal authorities lost thelr heads. — = NEARLY 200 MEN STRIKE.
