SEQUEL TO STRIKE.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. I QUESTION OF COERCION, NEW YORK, July 14. The Inter-Borough Subway Company, after discharging 688 strikers', has commenced Supreme Court proceedings against the strikers tq prevent them coercing other employees. The company asks for £47,800 damages from the union for revenue lost during the first week of the strike, and also threatens proceedings against newspapers that sympathise with the strikers. The company Has also filed a suit against the New York News for publishing a cartoon entitled "Remember the Picture Disaster of 1918," and carrying the legend, "Eighty-one lives were lost through unskilled operation." From the terrific congestion in the Etreets estimates are freely made that a million motor-cars and buses have been operating in New York and its vicinity during the subway strike. The third day of the strike found the traffic badly im- ; peded, but by no means paralysed.
