THE ERIE STRIKE-The strike OF the en-
ployes Of the Erie railway shops at Jersey City
continues in about the same Condition as 1t was
at the beginning. No material change was mo-
dceable yesterday. The strikers seemed to have
been mistaken as to the degree of sympathy TO
be shown them by their fellow craftsmen In the
other shops Of the company. Although meetings
published and delegates sent. there is still no
sign Of any cooperation, to the extent Of strike,
among the opeI atives OF The road to the west
ward with the movement in Jersey City. 1t APP
pears that not even the snubbing which the
delegation of the various shops received from
Mr. kueker, the Geaeral Superintendent, on
Wednesday last, excited the ire of tn workmen
to such pitch as to induce them to follow their
Jersey City comrades and unceremouiously
quit work. Up to half-past four O'Clock yester-
day afternoon all the men at Port Jervis, Sus-
quehanna, and the other shops out west on the
line Of the Erie road were at work As usual and
nothing indicating dissatisfaction on their part
was sh0wn.-N Y Herald, 23d.
