THE WAGE WAR.


New YORK, Aug. IA.
Applications for employment have been
made bv the strikers at the Erie yard, the
applicants having received the discouraging
answer that the present force is rendering
satisfactory service, and that they must walt
until vacancies occur. The statement that
the Erie road is crippled is wrong. The
force of Germans are doing their work so
well that they stop work sooner than the
hour at which work ceased for the day when
the old hands were at work. The laborers
had cleared away all freight shortly after I
o'clock Saturday afternoon and work stopped
for the day Yesterday the docks were per-
fectly clean and the yard was filled with
empty cars.
