Nobody with authority to speak, whéther on the side of the city Ad- ministration or the strikers, was optimistic enough to venture the sug- gestion that the strike will be settled before tho beginning of the north- bound tide of travel to-night, The strikers in assembly in the New Star Casino Began to sense, through res ports cothing im, that public seati« ment je strongly against them. This was apparent from the attitude of the men, which became leas insistent up~ ‘on a 60 per cont. increase In pay. ‘The good nature and half carnival init ef the public which marked the Brooklyn strike were not in evi+ dence im Manhattan. ‘While souked, worried crowds bore discom~ fort with the uncomplaining forti- tude of a comnmunity which has come ity oMcials, that the strike is really a “strixe” at the public pocketbook, appears to have been universally i Fe : New York Hallways is under Interbor- it, and the brother the company were working in with the Interborsugh and y and elevated brotherhoods to conditions intolerable in order the public into a demand for fares on all street railway l gy hi ri SHORTAGE DISAR- RANGES SURFACE TRAFFIC. ‘Phe ‘shortage of power, furnished by the Interborough and the Edison disarranged up at the uptown terminals and ran clear downtown without a stop, speeding past clamoring crowds at most corners along the routes, The Broadway hobble cars were jammed all day. wengers were clinging to outside Of the rear platforms and ‘some even rode on the roofs in a downpour of rain, HUNDREDS STAND IN RAIN TO CROWD INTO BUSES, Hundreds of persons stood in the rain at 195th Street and Broadway this morning, a terminus of one Fifth Avenue bus line, and expended large quantities of physical effort to board the already crowded vehicles. They were not deterred by the fact that they faced a fifty-ffty chance of hav- ing to sit on the upper deck in the wet even if they got aboard at dll, and many spent 20 cents by going up to Fort George on half empty uptown Duses to get an opportunity to go downtown. Only @ few blocks away three lines of steamboats welcomed passengers for a trip down to the Battery, but the craft left their moorings with only small number, At 129th Street and the Hudson River the Iron Steamboat Co. had five of its large Coney Island craft in service, running to the Battery in about thirty-five minutes, The charge for the trip wag 26 cents but when the Pegasus, the frat to leave, started wouthward at 7:30 o'clock there were only eighty-six passen- gers on her. A half an hour later the Taurus carried only 200 to downtown Manhattan, At 7:30 the city ferryboat Bay Ridge put out from the foot of 1824 Street carrying only twent paswengers despite the fact t Dandy for Iced Tea White Rose CEYLON TEA SEEMAN BROS., New York Proprietors of White Rose Coffee, Canned Foods, Cereals, etc, one = Be charge was only & cents. Other t ryboats left at half hour intervals. Also at 1824 Street the privately- owned steamboat Carmania offered to carry anyone with #§ cents to the’ Battery, With stops at 60th Street and Christopher Street, but although she wag scheduled to leave at 7:30 At 8:80 she had but five pastengers aboard. Tn the rush hour automobiles came down Fifth Avenue fi abreabt, leaving only . narrow lane on the east side of the roadway for cars bound north. At times the jam at 424 Street was wo thick that vebicles were held up four or fiv. minutes. surface cars of Broadway and Madi- fon and Lexington Avenues were nut only to the ultimate inch éf capacity but in many instances car- ried non-paying young passengers on south-bound, came Within readh of the upper end of the Broadway sub- way (the BR. T, line) at 57h Street they were invariably relieved of @ large part of the cargo and ‘the rush to the Broadway subway was #0 great that stations and stairways were blocked as far back as the street entrances, All along the mid-town routes of the surface lines passengers were left standing in the rain as car after car whisned past th streets, crowded to tl some insfances passengers were hanging to the outside of the cars with the doors closed against them, as it was impossible for more to, crowd inside. Many of the cars, after l@aving 196th Street, made only two or three stops before reaching the downtown section, The passengers that accumulated at these points are usually served by the Lexington and Lenox Avenue subway lines and the Third Avenue elevated line, The Hudson Tunnel trains between 30th and Christopher Street, handled downtown traffic to the limit of their facilities, Employees at the several stations on this branch of the road said that all available employees were on duty. BRONX COMES DOWN TOWN ON RAILROAD AND TROLLEYS. | Four ratiroads and ten trolley lines were available for the 400,000 Bronx workers! to get to thelr Manhattan jobs this morning. All had facilities increased over normal schedules, Al) will be available for return of workers to-night. ‘Thieé tranéporta- tion lines carried passengers to the Grand Central Station, to 1834 and’ ‘Willis Avnue, to 165th Street and sth Avenue and 129th Street and 84 Av- enue, where the Manhattan surface cars, Fifth Avenue busses and the “jitney” lines took up the burden. Feeding the surface lines, the Union Railways Co. of the Bronx operated 119 extra surface cars. Nine- ty of these were operated on the Weat Farms Division. On the Kingsbridge Division there were nineteen extra cars. In addition to this service the croastown lines on Fordham Road, Tremont Avenue, 167th, 16ird, 1¢ist, 149th and 138th Streets had fare boxes {mn each end of the cars ao that both motormen and conductors collected fares and expedited travel. The Harlem River Division of the New York Central added sixteen ten- car trains to the service on the east side and the Hudson Division on the ‘wost side had ten ten-car trains ad- ditional. xtra ticket sellers were at work but at all the stations there were lines three to five blocks long waiting to buy tickets and board traing, ‘The usual rush hour transfers at 149th Street and Third Avenue ag- gtegate £0,000, Thig morning there was never a time that there were not at last 3,000 persons at this Junction awaiting transportation. Extra traffic policemen were sta- toned there to help the traffic situa- on and they kept the crowds in good humor. Thousands of vehicles were out supplementing the car and train service and the Grand Concourse, Usually deserted during the early morning hours, had a regular Fifth Avenue midday traffic jam to handle. Buses charged from a quarter to a dollar for a ride to 42d Street and from 50 conta to $2 to Brooklyn Bridge and every possible kind of vehicle was in service. EXTRA POLICEMEN TO HANDLE THE CROWDS, ‘With the surface cars running on a ten-minute headway, city buses, taxi- cabs and private vehicular convey- ances converging at 125th Street, a se- rious state of traMe congestion pre- scuted iteelf early and many extra patrolman were assigned to handle the situation, The Mayor's city buses cperating in Harlem bore signs read- |. ing “City service Line," Hundr of other motor vehicles not controlled by the city were ac- cepting passengers for all parts of the city, and charging all sorts of prices in advance of the city rate of ten cents. The Third Avenue cars were crowded to the doors by the time they reached 125th Street on their first runs, Passengers went to the barns at 128th Street and Third Avenue and crowded them before they started. Striking employees of the Interbor- ough were'seen in Harlem this morn- ing assisting the crowds in getting transportation accommodations, They were directing people to the river steamers and buses, Thoy said thoy had been requested by their union] today leaders to do what they could to as- I.
