New York , Nov. 10. Possibilities of a clash today between c\tato and fed ? oral authorities over the express strike complications Intensified the develop ments of warfare between men and companies. A hint of state arbitra tion was the only peace note sounded. The seizure under Mayor Gaynor's authority of express company wagons driven by unlicensed drivers , offered an opening which , it was believed , the companies would speedily take advan tage of to bring matters to a head. It was Intimated that the process of In junction would bo invoked by them to prevent further seizures. Besides nearly 10,000 drivers and helpers of the express companies and delivery concerns , between 2,000 and 3,000 taxicab drivers are on strike. Express Business at Standstill. Express business is virtually at a standstill. No discrimination against the union Is insisted on by the strikers and the latter declare their efforts to secure arbitration have been balked by the refusal of the companies to ne gotiate with them on this basis. A general strike of teamsters In sympathy with the men now out is still imminent , but there seemed to bo a disposition to await today's develop ments and possibly those of tomorrow before taking steps toward effecting a general tie-up. The first move to tie up passenger transportation lines since the strike started occurred this morning when sixty-two chauffeurs of the Fifth ave nue Clach company , which operates the line of motor buses on Fifth ave nue and Riverside drive , went out on strike. Smultaneously there was an impor tant accession to the strikers' ranks when 250 drivers of one of the big coal companies struck. RESULT IN STANTON COUNTY.
