Fights Hit Brooklyn as Strike Wears On
Brooklyn reports show sparse breaks in the strike with De Kalb Avenue and Newtown lines resuming regular hours under a new agreement. The settlement includes limited trippers, minimum pay of 1.50 a day, abolition of standing time, and a ten hour workday. Violent incidents persist with arrests for assault, stones, and a car robbery of fares on the Fifth Avenue line. City officials held talks but offered no concessions. By evening about 100 cars ran on three lines, with De Kalb Avenue and Newtown operating fully and late into the night.
