II having been stated that the New-YOrk, Lake
Erie and Western Railway proposed to hPd an
let for part of It's west-bOund freight at NewDurg.
a TRIBUNE reporter visited that city yesterday 10
learn what had been done. Six barges are lying thcre
inst sonth of the dock of the Homer kainsdeii
Transportation Company, loaded with Erie irelghl'
These barges arrived from New-lOrk at O'CLOCK
on Sunday afternoon, and contain aDort l,Zoo
tons. or 100 carloads, of miscellaneous merchan-
disc. The reason why they still remain loaded was
explained by the Erie agent Charles H. Halstead,
who said:
Il received a dispatch saying that these barges
would be here at Z o'clock Sunday morning,
and had thirty or forty men
ready to 60 to work at that hour.
As the barges did not arrive until o'clock. the men
were Disguised and had got full of liquor or scat
tered all over town, so that by the time they were
wanted | couldn't muster more than half dozen
hands. The Ramsdel dock is the only Place in
town where could unload the freight and sort 1t
for reshpment, for tho goods We're put mo
the cars just they came, regardless OF destination
Sunday Is the only day we can have the use OF
the Ramsdell dock, on all other days they have
to use 1t for their own steamers % unload the
barges where they lie would be an almost interim
nable job, and the men here refuse to handle
the freight for less than 80 cents an hour while
some OF them say: We underS and just tile Tx
you're in. such a job don't turn up every day,
and unless you pay 6 us 20 force cents hsvo ali ali
they can do with our regular business Tor which
We pay them % cents an hour, and II Is
impossible for them to touch these barges. / IN
tended TO pay the men double our regular rate Tor
ANYTHING we can do before next Sunday at
the soonest PROVIDED Mr.. Bowen does not order the
barges back to Jersey CITY"
Company said they were ready to accommodate the
Erie Company any way possible, but they could
not give up the of their dock on any day except
SUNDAY bIr. Bowen telegraphed them to know If
they could handle one barge, and then sent
six " Ii they had reached NewbuTg early IN the
morning as promised" ,sald Mr. Ramsdell, " they
would nave All been unloaded Oh Sunday, and the
merchandise would have been going West by this
morning One reason why the Darges arrived late
was that only small tug was used to bring IN III
no the river. Alter they did arrive IL took about
three hours get the checklists ready and II was
then O'Clock and too late to begin work, provided
there had been any men left to do IT,"
There only ABOUT dozen 'longshOremen at
New burgh and hey are the men usually employed
III handing freight when there Is any extra work
to do. No trouble Is anticipated by the Erie agent
or the city Officials IN case men should be sent up
from New-York to unload the barges, although no
intimalon has been received there OF any
such intention on the part OF the officials
