A six-hour strike of the firemen employed on the city-owned Staten Osfand aud South Brooklyn ferryboats inconvenienced thousands of com- muters to-day, tied up the United States mails and stalled an immense | FREEZING, RE FLIES. amount of vehicular traffic. ‘The engine room crews of nine ferry boats, including 160 firemen, oilers and ‘water tenders, walked out in the midst Of the rush hours, when their boats ar- fived at Manhattan. The Inst St George boat got into tts Whitehall | street sitp at 5.45, attied through the interference ‘Timothy Healy, President of the Inter- ‘ational Brotherhood of Stationary Fire- men, Healy called: the strike off at @'dlock and the boats were running eguin at 3. Force Was Cut Down. ‘The firemen atruck because of an or- der tesued by Commander Sears redue- ing the staffs on each of the big ferry- boat by two firemen and one ofler. Before last summer each of the ig boats carried two engineers, men, two ollers and two water tenders. Commander Sears ‘arranged with the Federal steamboat inspectors to cut the force on the big boats to four fire- men and one oiler. During the summen the force was reduced to five firemen and one oiler, Next week the further reduction will be made, To-day's strike Was a protest against the carrying out of this reduction. In a conference between Dock Com- mission Tompkins, Commander Sears and Mr. Healy it was arranged to call the strike off and arbitrate the differ- ences over the reduction of the fireroom staffs, Healy then went to Shea's Ha® on Moore street, where the strikers were assembled, and advised them to go back to work, They consented, and by 3 o'clock traffic had been resumed on both the Staten Island and South Brooktyn ferries, According to Dock Commissioner Tompkins, firemen on the municipal ferryboats receive $90 a month, as com- pared with from $70 to $75 a month on other ferry lines. ‘Richmond Borough Cut Off. During the tleup Richmond Borough was completely cut off from the rest of the world save for the inadequate and inconvenient service of the little Port Richmond-Bergen Point and Btaten Island-Elizabethport ferries. Staten Islanders who had pressing en- gamements in Manhattan and Brooklyn had to hire tugs. President Cromwell of Richmoné was marooned in Man- hattan till he could get a tug At 1 o'clook this afternoon Assistant Guperintendent Hanlon, in charge of the ferries at Staten Island, appealed to the atriking firemen on the ferryboat Richmond to take 600 belated com- muters to Manhattan. They refused, saying their grievance committee had planned to call upon Dock Commis- sioner Tompkins. There wore exciting moments for th: jams of passengers on the big ferry boat Brooklyn and the smaller Staple ton when they got off Governor's Is! and and found all the Manhattan slips | occupied by crewless boats.

BUC, France, Dec, 39.—By remaining in the air elght hours and five minutes, | Maurice Tabuteau, flying in a biplane } constructed by Maurice Farman, to-day broke all world's records for distance covered in one flight, flying 362 miles and taking the lead in the contest for the 1910 Michelin Cup and prize of $4,000. Tabuteau’s distance record exceeds the world's record of M. Legagneux by «2 miles, but is elght minutes under the world’s duration record of 8 hours and 13 minutes, established recently by Henri Farman. ‘The Michelin prize is awanied to the aviator going the greatest distance in « single fight, time not being considered. Tabuteau rose at 7.4 this morning and circled the fleld continuousfy until 3.45 this afternoon, He was so atiff and cold when he descended that he had ‘to be ifted from his machine and given a long massage to gtimulate blood circulation, The previous distance record of 320.6 miles, was made by M. G, Legagneux in 6 hours and 1 minute. Previous to that, Tabuteau himself held the record, a sus- tained flight of 290.3 miles, The time mit for the 1910 Michelin Cup tg midnight to-morrow.
