In New York on September 28 as the third week of the streetcar strike began, leaders pressed to mobilize other unions in Westchester County and beyond. Estimates of workers who joined range from 5,000 to as high as 125,000 with the higher figure claimed by labor leaders. Elevated and subway service largely continued normal with many cars withdrawn due to reduced traffic from the Jewish holiday, and union leaders reported only limited progress toward a citywide general strike.
