FREIGHT HANDLERS FIGHT

FREIGHT HANDLERS Fight
A Dubious Outlook for the Strikers In Jer-
sey City-In New York-Other Places.
IMPROVEMENT:
NEW YORK, June 2S.-The strikers continue
orderly, freight being received and rather
slowly handled by the new men, but the sitn-
alton is generally improved.
IN JERSEY CITY.
JERSEY CITY, June 2s.-The strike con-
tinues, but the strikers are MT as confident
as Yesterday. The striking switchmen are
dissatisfied with the treatment accorded them
by the freight handlers. Said one OF the
leaders: "We had no grievance; we were re-
ceiving $54 to $5S per month, work and no
work, and struck to help the freight handlers
out. Now they go back on us and allow new
men 10 take our places without protest"
The various railroad companies are now
moving large quantity OF freight and are
working with full force of men.
Special police are still on duty at the yards
day and night. The striking switchmen OF
the Central road have decided to resume work.
The company has full force OF freight
handlers and is said to have disposed of 200
car loads of freight in the past thirty-six
hours.
The Pennsylvania company put 200
additional Italians at work this morning. The
New York, Lake Erie & Western this morn
ing put 400 Russian and Hungarian jews at
work on their docks. This company now has
$50 refugees working on their piers at Long
dock and the foot of Duane street.
: JERSEY CITY, N. j., June 27.-The striking
'longshoremen and freight handlers held
another large meeting this afternoon.
telegram stating that the Newburgh boatmen
strikers here was received with cheers. In
dead silence was heard the statement that the
police commissioners had ordered of the
strikers visiting the Central railroad yard.
eve were only five of us, said the chairman,
"and had no show so we went away without
accomplishing our end" The object OF the
visit was to induce the drillers to join in the
a check for 500 from the surrogate OF Jersey
City and $40 from Boss Carpenter, the grocer
who supplied the Erie laborers with rations,
and from the Jersey City Erening Journal
It was resolved to boycott the railroads to-
day. The Pennsylvania company has large
force of Italians at work, together with e
number of old hands. The officials claim to
be able to forward freight without great delay.
The company has large posters placardedr
stating that no men are required in any ca
pacity. Special police continue to guard the
property of the company. The Central Rail
road of New jersey is working full force or
new hands and rapidly handling freight. The
New York, Lake Erie & Western Railroad
company has $50 Russian and Hungarian
Jews and 100 Italians working on the dock at
Jersey City, and $50 Italians on the dock at
New York. About twenty Hishmen remain
at work at the latter point. The new men are
taken back to Castle Garden from the end OF
the dock each night and receive their money
for the days work before they leave.
The company intends to fl up. a boat for
them SO they may be available at any hour OF
the night. The new men to-day loaded TWEEN
ty.eight boats west bound freight anu unload
ed a large number of east Jouna cars for DE-
liveryto the steamship companies. The SUI
perintendent of transportation states that the
company do not propose to compromise with
the strikers, but intend to have its freight
handled and shipped. When the men left the
company they made no statement OF their
wants and even now seem afraid to ask for
what they want. The company is very much
encouraged by the present situation and sees
no reason why 1t should not be able to do
good work with the force at its disposal.
There is no truth in the report of a strike
at HornelIsville, etc.
The train dispatcher says that he has not
had the slightest trouble with any freight or
passenger trains.
The General freight agent states that freight
is going west all right, although large
quantity has to be transferred at Buffalo and
Salamanca.
Twenty drillers and switchmen, who struck
for an advance of 10 per cent. have signified
their intention of returning to work to-mor-
row, The superintendent said he would see
that they were protected from all interference
by the striking freight handlers.

BULLpozED BY BOILER MAKERS.
CINCINNATI, June 29.-The boiler makers
who have been on strike, to-day gathered in
considerable numbers on the landing where
eight or nine men were employed by boiler
making firm in repairing q boat for the upper
Mississippi service. The strikers were bold
in their Language and demanded that the work
men should stop. There was but one police
man on the boat, and his brother was one OF
the leading strikers. They flourished revolvers,
but fired no shots. The workmen were SO
much inundated that they stopped. No at
tempt was made to begin again and the fore
man says work will be resumed in the morn
ing under police protection, while the strikers
offer to bet large sums that no workmen can
be found to go on the boa

MRS Bailey's Recital.
Mrs. Bailey's academy and conservatory at
Park Place, was the scene OF musical and
literary entertainment last evening, that was
NOT only pleasant to all that were there, but
nnite surprising when it is remembered that
eli the performers but two are mere amatuers,
or rather learners of the science and art OF
music Nearly all the selections were either
solos or duets for the piano, and well per-
formed by the pupils themselves This was
an honest way of showing to the parents just
what progress their children have made: all
