Excerpt from Report of the Special Committee of the Assembly: Appointed to Investigate the Cause of the Strike of the Surface Railroads in the City of Brooklyn
The strike began on the 14th of January, 1895, and resulted in disorders which continued until about the 24th day of Pebru ary, 1895. During the greater part of this time about men, who had left their employment, remained, so far as your com mi'tee is able to ascertain, entirely unemployed. The operation of the surface railroads upon which the strike occurred was, for the time being, more or less completely paralyzed, and the fear of serious breaches of the public peace led to the calling out of the First and Second Brigades, N. Gr. S. N. Y.
