THE MEN STILL CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS

shipping piers for increase of cents an hour IN
their wages seemed no nearer n termination last
evening than when 1t began The strikers are or
DERBY in their conduct AMI have not interfered in
any way with the foreigners who have been en-
ployed by the companies to bridge the situation
and they express determn tOn to hold out against
the companies if necessary until next November"
The railroads are equally firm. Agent Hoffman of
the New-York, Lake Erie and Western said late
yesterday afternoon. when asked if the company
had any intention of we hing: Everything Is
blooming the company ha, need TO releut nor
viii 1t ever do So
| The water fronts and shipping points
damned with merchandise even more than on We'd
nesday. Truck loads OF boxes and bales were driven
to the piers early in the day. and a truckman said
that he had to wait four five hOurs in line before
he could unload his truck. At all the piers there
merchants their clerks striving to get their
| goods shipped ahead of someone else, and much
i grumbng was INDUCED in at the delay on the part
Of the roads There are about 1,2OO Italians and
Russian Hebrews employed in the places oil
the striking freight handlers. AT the Erie pier,
| No 2l North River il is necessary TO employ in-
| terpreters. The foreigners work sluggshly and
| generally fail 10 return after the thlr day Ihey
| are paid at the close of each day. The fresh men
brought 10 till their places from Castle Garden
| have all to be broken in by the bosses and
checkers" who are becoming weary OF the strike.
1t was the opinion Of several bosses who were
| spoken TO on the subject that eventually
| the experienced hands now on strike would
have to be taken back. the foreigners
were utterly inadequate to the demands of the busi
ness. They could not be taught 10 pack freight
properly the This is the strikers only hope
OF driving The corporations INTO Submission.
At the PennsyvanIa piers, Nos. l. 4. 3. is, 3S
and 80 orth RIVER shippers ated that their goods
were received fairly we'll Al the Erie piers Nos
20 and u, anG the bulkhead between them,
the freight was received aud stored
away in the barges and ears in
unb.Oken bulk and with c0nlnendable TapdIty but
with many oaths at the stupidity OF the Italians.
Freight was received all day at Piers Nos. II, 13
and II of the New-Jersey Central road and at Pier
No OF the Lehgh valley. The greatest dIihcuIty
was met with at Pier No. rs and the St Johns Park
depot. Freight consigned to points on the New
YORK Central and Hudson River Railroad
handled very slowly. Not more than fifty Italians
were Work at Pier No. 26, anu little freight was
received there during the DAY AT 81. Johns Park
the amount OF IelSut received was sOine-
what excess of that of the previous day. AT Pier
No. East River, the reception Of freight was de-
ldyed several no rs because OF me lal4ure OF Jne
New-lOrk Central road 10 have barges there. AT
Pier No East River German hebrews
were at work, and the amount of labor done j. not
large. There were rumors during the day that the
companies had acceded TO the demand o. the men,
but al the offices OF The companies the Tumors were
declared 10 DC untrue. Subscriptions have been sent
10 the strikers from several private persons aAd
from trade unions.
