The railroads which have been contcnding
against the higher wages demanded by the striking
freight handlers did not until yesterday feel tho
| full effect of the extension Of the strike among
! Others Of their employees in Jersey City on Friday
The recent accesdons TO the dlscontened working
men. however have practically paralyzed the opera
tlons OF the principal roads in this CITY, The move
ment Of trains in Jersey City having been virtually
suspended the dcpots this side Of the river
were compelled yesterday t. curtai even the small
amount Of freight which they have been receiving
/ since the trouble began. The result Is that the
| blockade has become almost impossible barri-
! cade, and the loss and suffering Of the merchants
are increasing rapidly.
! For the first time since the strike was started,
railroad men here yesterday gave ey-
| dence Of decided anxiety over the stua-
/ ton. They are alarmed at tho aggressive
spirit shown by the strikers, al the further loss OF
their empoyo, and az the increase Of the difficulties
in handling the freight that is received and offered.
Instead Of losing ground the strikers appear to be
achieving success Railroad men who a few days
