R. T. is quoted as follows in to-day's fo man can ask me to do anything which I don’t con- sider advisable to do,” Mr. Garrison said when informed that Corporation Counse |Burr, following instructions from Mayor Hylan, had telegraphed Judge Mayer asking him to eee that Judge Garrison re- ceived the upion representa- tives, “Remember that I can leave my job as receiver just as I left my job in Washing- ton as Secretary of War. I am still determined that I will not deal with the union, not if they tie Up every damn car in the service.” Guch a statement coming from a piblic official designated by the Federal Courts to operate the railroad systems in the interest of the travelling public is al- most unbelievable. I again urge that the Federal Court direct Re- ceiver Garrison to take up the question at issue with his em- ployees and submit them to a committee for arbitration. As to Recetver Garrison's threat to re- «ign his position as Reosiver as he did as Gecretary of War, I would remind Mr. Garrison that he was quickly replaced and as quickly forgotten, and if he per- sivts in hie refusal to arbitrate %wo"'that ‘peace may be restored in the city, his resignation might ‘be most acceptable. j “The Police ‘Department have Deen instrycted to sup) e all acts of violence and to imme- iately arrest all those who seek vy violence to intimidate the em- ployees of the company in any way, and the police have furn- ished apd are still ready to fur- nish a6 many men as the officials of the B. R. T. require to operate their system.” 188UE NOT BETWEEN COMPANY AND STRIKERS. Receiver Lindley M. Garrison of the B, R. T., after receiving reports trom operating officials of the system to- day, issued the following statement: “The issue is no jonger between the company and the strikers but between New York City and the lawless ele- ment of Brooklyn. Until the aythori- tles preserve the peace we cannot run street cars. ‘It Mayor Hylan does not fee) that he wants to remain in control of the city but wishes to put it up to » pri- vate oltizen to deal with a disorderly element and prevent riots, as Cor- poration Counsel Burr intimated tn his telegram to Judge Mayer, then the strike issue gives way to what might become the methods of a re- volution. “I am engaged in no warfare and violence has never changed the fun- damental basis of an issue unless it has been warfare. “Shea and his group in presenting thélr demands said they represented all the employees of the company, wher I know they do not represent 20 per cent, of our operating force, 1 am afraid the Mayor does not un- derstand the situation. I béfipve in collective bargaining and will treat ‘with aify man or committee that rep- resents all our men, but I will not treat with outsiders who only claim to represent our employees. “The hour that the city aythori- ties make known to the lawless el ment that they cannot make shambles or a disorderly house of the streets of Brooklyn, law and order will be restored and we can run the cars peaceably. There is an improvement to-day on the ele- vated and subway lines, and a slight improvement on the surface lines, but not enough to be a cure.” Mr. Garrison said that midday re- porte to him showed that two-car trains are running on the Bea Beach and Myrtle Avenue lines at twelv minute intervals, On all other “LL” and surface lines, he said, two-car trains are running at ten-minute in- tervals with @ police guard on every car, Receiver Garrison doesn't like call the baby Mary, as the wife wanted, or Ethel, as the husband wanted. “They finally compromised on Mary.” STRIKERS ASK HYLAN TO TAKE POLICEMEN OFF ALL B. R. T, CARS P, J. Shea, in Charge of Walkout, Addresses Enthusiastic Meet- ing of Union Men. P. J. Shea, a member of the Inter- national Executive Committee and as such in charge of the strike for the Amalgamated, and Louis Fridiger, attorney for the strikers, addressed an enthusiastic meeting at noon in Brooklyn:Laber Lyceum, Myrtle and Willoughby Avenues. Before and after the meeting At- torney Fridiger was making arrange- ments to bail several strikers who had been arrested. The strikers were thorotghly aroused to-day by reports that the B. R. T's train guards are being equipped with guns and ammunition. ‘When the case of an armed guard in Subway Car No. 2061 from Times Square was called to his attention Fridiger said he would immediately bring it to the attention of Mayor Hylan and the Police Commissioner. Fridiger wrote a 1,500-world letter to the Mayor this afternoon demand- ing that policemen be taken off the B. R. T. cars. He complained that the only reason for having them there was to intimidate the strikers and prevent peaceful picketing and reminded the Mayor of the assurance given to the strikers that the police were going to be “neutral.” “The strike,” Fridiger wrote, “baa been conducted in the most careful and orderly manner. There has been po disturbance and no violence. Tne Strikers do not expect any help from the police, and on the other hand they do not want the police to help the company.” Counsel for the strikers called the attention of the Mayor to Mr. fy- lan's own statement that there has been “no disorder” and that the “sit- uation is well in hand,” and to Dep- uty Commissioner Porter’s declaration that there has been no “serious dis- turbance.” crossed Sands Street and was going along Washington Street parallel with the bridge str@cture when it was stopped and surrounded by « mob of 1,500, * ‘Things looked threatening for afew . minutes and the policemen on the platform pulled their nightsticks and prepared to hold thelr ground, * The relief squad again appeared . and the crowd was driven buck, Men climbed upon motor trucks, to trail the car, but the officer in headed the trucks off and turned them about.
