ported this morning that they accede
to reduction of ten per cent. IN their
salaries. At two o'clock a committee
from the engineers of the Pennsylva-
MA Railroad waited on Mr.. Barker,
Assistant Superintendent in Jersey
City, and reported that the engineers
of the New York Division, numbering
1876, had decided to accept the pro-
posed reduction and would not strike,
but would present remonstrance to
President Thompson, asking that
when business improves the present
rates be restored.
It is said that the Central Railroad
of New Jersey is about to reduce the
pay of its employees fifteen per cent.
INDIANAPOL is, December 31.-The
only apparent change in the engineers
strike is general quoting down. The
engineers held very large meeting
to day, but nothing is known Of their
proceedings. They present the same
determined front, and claim they are
bound TO win. The roads affected by
the strike seem to ind engineers
enough to get along with most Of their
trains, and claim they can run all
their trains regularly if not interfered
with There has been marked de-
crease in the number OF strikers about
the Union Depot, and trains arrive
and depart without the excitement of
the past few days.
PITTsBURG, December, 81. The
engineers strike on the Pittsburg,
Fort Wayne and Chicago and the
Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroads is
over. The men went to work under
the reduction this morning. All pas
senger and freight trains on these
roads are now running regularly.
FROM DIFFERENT POINTS.
The engineers strike on the rail
roads has delayed the arrival of mails
at Washington City, to an extent that
has seriously diminished the internal
revenue statement for December,
though the certificates of deposits are
on the road to the Department, and
will show in the report for this month.
PITTsBURG, Dec. 31.-The strike of
the Pittsburg, Fortwayne and Chicago
Railroads is over. The men went to
work under the reduction this MORN
ing. All passenger and freig hit trains
are now running regularly. A reduc-
ton of ten per cent, will also take
effect on the Pennsylvania Central and
Allegheny Valley Road, January l.
COLUMBUS. Dec. 31.-The excite
ment is subsiding as the railroad au-
thoritities demonstrate their ability to
procure engineers sufficient to run
their regular trains. To-day all pas
senger trains got away on time, and
two freight trains leave for the West
this afternoon. A guard of pelice are
on duty at the freight yards to see that
no trouble occurs. As two freight
trains were about to start west, the
two conductors, at the last moment,
refused to go,saying they would not go
over the road with strange engineers.
They were dicharged at once, and the
trains sent in charge of other men.
THE REAL REMEDY.
CHICAGO, Dec. 3l.-The officials of
the various railroads running into
Chicago have, with the exception of
the Pittsburg and Fort Wayne, and
the Cincinnati and Pittsburg, on both
of which the engineers have already
struck. and the Michigan Southern,
decided not to make any reduction in
the wages of their engineers and fire.
men.
From the latest reports it appears
that excitement in regard to the strike
is dying out; that the railroad off
Gals are gradually filling up the va
cancies; but the engineers still main
tain a determined front, and claim
that the men who have been put in
their places are incompetent.
