AND OHIO RAILROAD.
From the Baltimore Sun, Dec. 25
The strike OF the men engaged In running the freight
tinues We informed, however, that it Is confined
to the 6rst division Of the line between Baltimore and
Martnsburg. is thought that those employed the
western sections Of the road win not leave their work
the company revised rates and regulations rather
beneficial to them whereas on this end of the line ii
affects the employees somewhat differently. Yet
here, it is said, some Of the willing to
work. Meanwhile, the tonnage trains going in
from Mount Glare on Saturday, and about the sama
number came in from Martinsburg This is not more
than one third the number which should be run, how
ever, and which the present business of the road
qures. Freight is accumulating at various points.
The strikers meeting held at China Hall appointed
commlLtee 10 walt upon the fresl0enC OF
and request him to call the Board of Directors together
to consider their claims The President is understood to
have declined to recognise the belonging the
service. He assured them that the company
count would recede from the ground 1t has deliberately
assumed alleging that the wages intending to paid
higher than upon other roads for similar work. OF
this matter it is only the initiated who may compe
tent to judge. But it seems the differ from the
companyboth being parties, it is to be presumed
familiar with the question It is to be hoped however,
that they will be able to reconcile their differences
seems probable that if they do not men will be put
duty fast they be placed upon the road with
safety The company is said to applications from
different quarters for employment, and from men, in
many instances, experienced in railroad duties.
