ERIE RAIIR0AD-SrccEs OF TIKI Corr ~ zTAT-The
active and energetic superintendent Of the Erie Railroad
G. Accailum, Esq, was prepared yesterday morning
at O'Clock, for general strike Of the entire body Of
engineers on the road from end to the other He
ready for any emergency Having made such arrange.
ments as the exngencies of the occasion required he
calmly waited coming events His object was not only
to supply the places Of engineers who, bndly following
the lead Of certain disaected rngeaders deserted their
pests but to protect his new in their duties from
violence. In every thing he succeeded admirably and
in hts every railroad company the country has
GAUGE for congraulaon This Ia the second attempt Of
the kind on this read within the past years. The first
at the time when Mr.. McCalum had Just entered
upon bis duties as superintendent and the affairs Of the
read were in dsordered condition Notwithstanding
these difficulties, he queled the disturbance. Though at
considerable expense and interruption to the business of
the road This time his resources were ample for any
emergency, and the result has shown him to be perfect
Napoleon in generalship. He ready for any move
ment the part Of the belligerents he secretly dis
ubuted police force at every station the whole under
the direction OF the United States Narshas and made
every train returning Saturday mail train to
bring them under the protection Of the United States GO
vernment. This being done, the next thing pro-
yde 70 step on to every engine abandoned by
AT six O'Clock yesterday morning all these arrange
moved out as usual, and 1t looked though the old
engineers had come to the second sober thought till
iorty old hands left their engines then the wire pre-
cautions Of Mr.. superintendent MeCalum were found
available As the old engineers stepped of, ones
stepped on; and the police orce, with their badges cx.
poed, stepped forward for the protection or the
hands and the property Their services were
fortunately not required. The moral effect OF the
sures adopted were sufficient, and The old engineers
that they had been frustrated any attempt to
interrupt the operations OF the road. They received
lesson that they will never forget We feel sorry that
many worthy men have been led into this dhcultv bv
the advice Of dishonest leaders, and we hope It will
operate favorably upon this and among other class OF
mechanics throughout the country. Strikes by combl
nation Of employees can never be submitted 70 by any
corporation. They always have been and always will
be failures. Every railroad engineer who does like
the rules OF any railroad company where he Is employed
has the right TO leave and do better II possible but all
combinations must be put down at any sacrifice. Mr.
McCalum has rendered the railroad interest greet ser
vice. and the probability Is that shall not hear Of
anolher strike on the Erie Railroad 30 long he is
superintendent.
