Strike on the Western Maryland Rail
roai---Wc understand that the railroad
hands on the summit of the mountain,
above Smithsburg, have struck for the
ten-hour system. During the winter
months, we are told, contractors have
been paying sl.75 per day, (some Vir-
GINA works having paid but SIPS, }
without regard to the weather, and ior
this reason look upon the sssike as un.
reasonable. Previous to "the strike,
the ',iron rock" as it is called, had
almost suspended operations--as many
as sixty drills having been broken il
the drilling of an inch. TO avoid this
a new route was laid out, which turned
the rock aud avoided all trouble, aud
F matters had scarcely been set right il
. this respect when the strike occurred
We have no doubt but that this difficulty
! will be soon settled and the unfinished
work completed, so that We may hay,
