18,000 Employes of Surface, Subway and "L" Lines Affected By Order to Strike.

BULLETIN.

NEW YORK, Sept. 7.—-Several instance* of elevated trains being bombarded with .stones and bottles thrown from roofs were reported to the police shortly before 9 o'clock. .Reserves rushed to the scenes of disorder, en* tered the building* and chased from the roofs gangs of rren said to have been seen carrying missiles.

NEW YORK, Sept. 7.—A million or more residents of New York left their homes this morning not knowing whether they would ride to work or walk. The first test of the Btrike declared last night by the union employes of the elevated and subway railways, came with the morning rush hours on these main arteries of travel between the two ends of Manhattan lslacd.

If the carmen can carry out their threats to halt surface as well as subway and elevated traffic. New York faces the biggest and most vital strike in its history. The geographical formation of Manhattan island—^long and narrow—the wide distribution of population of the greater city and the concentration of the business maites New York peculiarly susceptible to any interruption of street car traffic.

When the workers of the city started for their places of employment today the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Employes, which 1* conducting the strike, had been uni able to tie up the subway and elevated lines but bad succeeded in crippling same of the most Important surface lines. With the aid of nearly ,3,000 strike breakers and. under police protection, the Interborough Rapid Transit Co. was running its trains on subway and "Li" almost on normal scnedulea. The strik# of the Interborough employes has spread, however, to the

Carmen of the New York Railways company, which operates all but two of tlie important surface lines in the borOQShs of Manhattan and the Bronx line* in Brooklyn in the system or the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Co. are thus far at peace, 1&00Q' Employes Affected.

Approximately 18,000 employes are affected. The immediate cause of the strike is the refusal of the Interborough company to release the men from an agreement to seek no further improvement in working conditions for Si period of two years after the advance in i»y which the men received last

month. Behind these demands, however, is a contest over the unionization of the street car workers of the city, anions whom the amalgamated association has /gained a strong footing only during the last few months.

The traction chiefs declared they could maintain service on the subway i Jinfc ettvated lines bjit expressed fear that -poli'ee prbtectlqri would not be adequate to enable-, them to keep the regular numbed of surface cars runfiling. iTr. The public service.. commission has started a general investigation of tl\e 41 strike and subpoenaed the president and general manager of the Interborough company and officers of the employes' unions to appear before the commission this morning.

8-HOUR RAILROAD LAW

Says Congress Surrendered to Railroad Men Without Knowing Facts In Case.

HAMPTON BEACH, N. H., Sept. 7. —Charles E. Hughes in an address here today referred to the Adamson law •not as an eight-hour a day law, but a wage law," and declared that failure of peaceful settlement of industrial disputes was but "another step from the abdiction of government itself." "We cannot afford to surrender what we have won for our institutions in this country," the nominee said. "What have we won? We have won the right to free discussion a free press, a democratic form of government, free assemblage free legislature^ and an executive chosen by the people. We have left autocracy. We have left tyranny. We have left' force. They shall not come back if we can prevent it. "We have recently seen what I regard as a very deplorable surrender of that principle. I am for the arbitration of industrial disputes. That is in the interests of labor. Labor cannot afford to surrender that principle. "We have recently had, at the proposal of the executive, an act passed by congress confessedly in ignorance of the facts, confessedly in ignorance of what justice demands. It is not an eight hour a day law. It is a wage law and nobdy knew whether it was Just or not. "Now I am for justice in everything but I propose that in all we do we shall investigate first and then legislate. Our methods in this country are of priceless importance to us because they are methods which conserve our peace. It is only one step from peaceful settlement of such disputes to the denunciation of our courts and all the machinery of peaceful settlement, and it is only another step to the abdication of government itself."
