Strike leaders asserted two-thirds of the Green car men were out, and that by 6 o'clock 90 per cent. of those still at work woud quit.

Five hundred subway and elevated guards held a secret meeting and named a committee to present demands to the Interborough Wednesday.

The battle continued for an hour, breaking out in new spots a block apart, The most violent disturbance came at 1 o'clock with the adjournment of a strike meeting at Third Avenue and Bighty-sixth Strect. ‘The men poured out into the street fighting angry.
