Yesterday afternoon an extensive strike was 70.

at Port Jervs. Susquehanna Piermont and Jersey
City, growing OF alleged irregularities the part
OF the company In making the monthly payments TO
the men,
About the first OF the present month delegations OF
worKmen from the various shops waited on Mr. Fisk
and explained their grievances, and were Informed
that tho matter was attributable to the difficulty
experienced IN getting the vast sums OF currency
required to make the payments When money had
been obtained the breaks in the road caused 10y the
ireshets necessitated delay. Men were working
day and night az the pay rolls, and preparing for
the payment OF the men. by the 18th all the men
were paid except those at the Port Jervs shops
and they struck pending payment, and, in order to
compel discipline on the road, they were all per.
emptoriy discharged. This action OF the company
has created trouble and the mechanics In the Susque
hanna the Buffalo and the Jersey City shops sent an
ultimatum supporting the strikers. Their demand
was not complied with and the Susquenanna men
struck ana afterwards the Jersey City men followed
their example and refused TO work untll tue dls-
missed men were reinstated. A CO. hct between the
company and the workmen was the result. the
company have insisted upon their order and the
mechanics equally determined III their resistance
to it. -
In letter dated yesterday Vice President J. Fisk,
Jr says:-The strikes IN the machine shops along

not In any way affect the running Of the trains or the
