Virtually
STOPPED FOR THE PRESENT.
The Cleveland Columbus Cincin
natl and indianapolis Railroad is still
running regularly over the whole
length of their line, ard this road will
probably be the very last to strike if
Indeed they strike at all. The pressure
however may become so strong that
the train men will not he able to resist
it the shopmen of the road will prob
ably strike tomorrow noon If certain
demands they have asked for are not
complied with. The Atlantic and
great Western Rrilroad feel secure as
far as the division is concerned, but
there are a number of branches which
may be led into the general strike on
account of their close proximity to
the affected lines. The Cleveland and
Pittsdurg Road will not start any
freight out Of the city tonight and
probably none tomorrow, and possibly
no passenger trains-although their
men have not actually struck, the road
is in such condition that il cannot do
anything at present ON account of the
trouble at Pittsburg. The passenger
traffic on the Lake Shore 4 Michigan
Southern Railroad is not interrupted
by the strike as yet, and probably. no
resistance to passenger travel will Ike
made by the strikers.
QUIET But DETERMINED.

Lake Shore Railroad from Toledo to
Buffalo is stopped with the exception
of passenger trains, which the strikers
say they will not modest. The strikers
are very quiet but determined.
