Ther?after it was r*ported that the pc

From the statement given out at Po

Atlantic rity to get Sipp. after he bac
been arrested by the police of that city
It is believed that an ??Tort will be mu.li
thoroughly to discredit Sipp by the pro.-.'

against him. In that way his evldenc?
aiminst Fat Bright b*- weakened, ar.d al?
though it is not bettered that the polic
would go to such lengths to protect Fox,

Ready to Quit, Yonkers Men Say.
With the trolley cars ?till ?funding In
the barns, Yonkers people bucked tle'r
way against the ?tiff wind that sw*-,it
through the ?tr?ete of the tcrraued cltv
yesterday end ?wore under their breath
because nothing; had occurred to break
the strike of the motormen and con?
ductor?. There was no chBnge In the,
situation at all. The strikers would not
give In; neither would President Whll
rldge. The Chamber of Commerce tul
in vain to solve the difficulty by suggea?
ing that the employe? go lack to work
pending possible arbitration, but tht
uniformed men said; "No; you bring
about arbitration first."
Mayor James T. I,ennon sent a letter
to Mr. Whltrldge statins; that Yonkers
was getting worried over the situation
and recommending an arbitration com?
mittee of three, on? to be selected by
the strikers, one by President Whltrldue
and the other to bo mutually agreed
upon, or. In case thla proved Irnpossltit.?.
to be appointed by the Mayor hlm?<lf.
This letter wat written before the strik?
ers met and asked the Mayor to act an
a mediator.
It now seems thnt there will he no
?solution before to-morrow night, even it
a successful one la offered at that time.
Members of the State Roard of Arbi?
tration and Mediation are still persevering
in their work to bring about a settlement,
hut the sentiment among the striker? ap?
pear? to be that they consider they have
the upper hand and have no deHlre to
loosen their clutch. Employe* of the
We?tche?ter Electric Railway, which feeds
Mount Vernon and New Rochelle, are re?
ported to be on the verge of going out on
a sympathetic strike.
