Siege Feeling In New York
.\.Z P. 4 Reuter—Copyright > NEW YORK, Januarx 11
rhe siege atmosphere heightened in strike-bound New York today as money grew shorter, muscles sorer and tempers frayed to breaking point.
Sub-freezing temperatures and numbing winds heaped! fresh miseries on working! millions who battled their; way to work for yet another day without buses or under-] ground trains to ride on. There was no sign of a break either in the weather or in negotiations to end the 12-day-old stoppage. ii The extra hours spent in travelling—up to four hours more daily for some people— 1 has virtually wiped out leisure time and drastically changed shopping habits. Many workers have been un- ' able to get to their jobs at all and have thus collected no wages.
| Queues are forming at unemployment relief offices. Workers unable to get to their jobs because of the strike are eligible for benefits. Applica-
tions have been 50 per cent above normal. ! Increased traffic yesterday reflected the grim determination of many people to get to work this week—anv wav at all. People commuting from the edges of the city are becoming masters of improvisation. Car pools get many people into the city.
