SARATOGA, MY, July "a, 1877.
A better feeling prevails hero to-day. Among all
ciasses interest naturally In the action Of the

piazza in front OF his cottage At tho United
States HIS hands full Of crumplcd
kilograms, 'nBd he ssemsd somewhat wearied,
bat spoke freely usual Of the situation In repy to
,hc question wha, nc proposed do that the men
at Albany had struck. Mr. Vanderbilt replied that he
was not Informed OF any ariko The part OF the
Central employees. Thsy had been driven out oi tho
shops by crowd OF rioters, ana had becn forced to
stop work. That was all ,hcre was Of II.
40 DEMAND RxcoGsIzgD

OF twenty -Gvc per cont In wages'
Mr. VAypxRBILr-I have reco,ved no such demand
from the men OF the Central despatch was received
last night embracing something of that Sort but
would not insult the OF the Central by atribung
it to them. No such demand has boon recognized II
was signed by anyb body, and have not paid any
attention TO H. The shops havo been visited by mob
and my have been forced 10 quit work. Tho
pcrate men who have done this not the Central
men, but probably out OF employ yment. who would
like the situations OF those who are at work. rhoy
belong to the roush" clement, and have coerced the
Central employees TO leave the shops.
QUESTION Yon raE GOVERNMENT.
II is u question now for the authorities 10 sottIe.
When my men bo protected business will DO re.
sum cd until thcn the shops will remain closed do
not hold my men respons bic for tho stoppage, and
they will take no part In the disturbances. They have
no TO do with tho trouble than you or have.
1t is matter now for the government TO tako caro- oL
These rIo,crs simply Wild, reckless men.
Mr. Vanderbilt said that thcre was no action 10 be
taken different from tho course already pursued.
"Onc man knows much about IL as
another We shall cndeavor" he said. s'to
protect men In the performance OF
their duty, and that Is all that do When
they orcod 10 fop WORK II s for tho authorities
protcc. u.s. We shall also protect properly Is long
as can"
