AFFAIRS AT JERSEY CITY.
JEREsY CITY, N. j., July 24.-There
was an unusual stiffness about the depots
and piers on the Pennsylvania Railroad
in Jersey City to-day. The company is
not receiving any through freight and the
local traffic is comparatively tritiing. The
passenger tratic has fallen off half or
more, and the entire bulk of business is
reduced to such an extent that the works
present the appearance of Sunday.
The result of the absence of business
| is that it has caused the freight engineers
firemen, . and other employees who are
connected with the Locomotive Brother
hood, to complain that they are thrown
out of employment. The Brotherhood
met in their rooms yesterday morning, to
conside what could be done for the suf-
ferers 1t was finally decided to send a
Committee to wait on Superintendent
Barker, and ask him to pay the freight
gangs who were compelled to remain
lille.
1t is understood that the Brother
hood of Engineers demand pay for all
the lost time on account of the absence
of freight trains, and, in case their
demand is refused, they will refuse
to take out any passenger --trsins; the
only exception they make is in iavol
of the postal cars. They say they
don't want to come IN conflict with
the general Government by interfering
with the mails.
