THE ERIE STRIKE.

Matters Not Chansed-AH Quiet Along che
Lino-Tho Policy Of the Company.
The strike OF the employees OF the Erie Railway
shops at Jersey City continues In about the same
condition as 1t was at the beginning. No materia
change was noticeable yesterday. The strikers
seemed to nave been mistaken as TO the degree OF
sympathy TO be shown them by therr fellow crafts
men In the other shops OF the company. Although
meetings and conventions have been held and ap-
peas published aud delegates sent there is stll no
sign OF any cooperation, to the extent OF strike,
among the operatives OF the road TO the westward
with the movement in Jersey City. 1t appears that
not even the snubbing which the delegation Of the
various shops received from Mr. Rucker, the
General Superintendent, on Wednesday last,
excited the ire OF the workmen TO such
u pitch as to induce them TO follow their Jer-
sey Guy comrades and unceremonlOusly quit WORK.
Up to half-past four O'Clock yesterday afternoon all
the men at Port Jervis Susquehanna and the other
shops out west on line OF the Ere ROAD were at work
as usual and nothing indicating dissatisfaction on
their part was shown.
At Jersey City the followed their usual routine
held their meetings and appointed their committees
OF scouts and for picket duty, to persuade new
comers from taking employment 1t the shops or the
company. But the officers OF the railroad yesterday
suddenly changed their tactics they have resolved
not TO make any effort whatever TO replace the
strikers IN the shops There are now were yester
day only about twenty men at work at Jersey City ap
prentces and all, and these VIII be about the whole
number that Will be employed until the strike
The officers say that although the business Of the
eastern dlvsl0n-mOsuly GOALS very heavy, they
can get as much motive power from the West as
they need for there travel as well tralc is light
Necessary repairs are done 1T Port Jervs where not
only the working hours OF the men and their pay
also have been increased, but q large additional
force Of w0rkmen has been engaged. With the dis
inclination OF the men West to JOIN the strike, and
the additional inducements held out by the COM
pany to their employees west or the Bergen tunnel
ana with the assurance that the men at Jersey City
Will shortly come back to their shops, railway
officials seem TO believe that the strike Is nearly
an end, and was mo great shakes after all.
