The recent strike among the employees Of
the Erie railroad in the machine-shops at Sus-
quehanna Depot, Pa, was one Of the most
serious affairs of the kind that has taken
place for some time. Nearly 100 engines were
disabled, and freight valued at two or three
millions of dollars was detained several days.
The situation became SO serious that the in
huence of the militia was invoked. Three
hundred troops, under Gen. Osborne, marched
to Susquehanna and took possession Of the
town and restored order.
The Erie railway strike at Susquehanna
Depot is ended. The men were paid in full
for February and March. and all of the
strikers discharged. About half of them will
probably be employed again. Trains are run
