NO TRUCE IN JERSEY CITY.

THE RAILROADS AND THE STRIKERS EQUALLY
sTCBBoKN-A REPORTED OFFER TO CoMPRO-
MISE REJECTED.
Appearances yesterday indicated that the differ
ences between the striking freight-handlcrs and the
railroad companies in Jersey City will never be
settled. Each side is stubborn. The skilled labor
ers continue Idle aud the companies DO the best
they can with their Iahan Russian and Hunga-
rian help. One OF the strikers said that
he and his fellows would lind other employment Of
go Vet before they would surrender their present
position. 1t was probably hoped by many Of the
men that the first DAY of the month, with the adj
vance IN FIRE ght rates. might be- made the occasion
of some concession by the railroad companies But
there was no indication Of the railroad officials
having determined TO raise wages in any depart
1t. As far as could be learned there
is no probability of strike being
made by any other class OF railroad
emp,oyes. The fact that the freight-brakemen ON
the New-York Central Railroad have had their
wages increased 20 - per day has not apparently
caused aIy olscOntent among the same class OF men
in jersey CITY. The brakeinen on the Centrai Rail
road OF New-JeTsey now receive p i day ana those
Oh the other roads 81 90 per days work OK ninety
