THE CRITICAL PERIOD.
The critical moment was at 2:3OP. NJ.
Engine 45S with Engineer Mike Oaddy
came out OF the round house changing lts
Oell. Ten deputy sheriHs guarded It In
front rear and sides. Before the engine
reached the main track the deputies were
almost lost In the macs OF excited men
who crowded the track. Tom Collins
mounted the engine and began to talk to
the engineer. The wheels soon stopped,
when Collins was heared 10 say, "Be kind
enough not to do this. You are no Capi-
lalist. For Gods sake run that engine
oaCk for US laboring men. Do II, will
youP"
The engineer reached for lis lever, the
great wheels reversed and the engine
started back to the round house amid
deatening cheers from the Bwitchmen and
their friends. When opposite the tank
Superintendent Wright got on the engine
and talked with the engineer while tile
angine stood still and there was ailenCe
over the great crowd. Caddy shook his
head and ran the engine into It's stall
Superintendent Wright was asked II he
could not get a man to run IN engine
and, said: | will try again; think can.
The officers OF the Company had repeated
conferences with individual members and
With the committee Of strikers, but no ar
tangement was arrived at. On the out
skirts were many women In carriages who
waved their handkerchief when the en-
gine backed into the stall. The commit
tee OF strikers kept at work at the SWITCH
men who had been imported by the
Company. They argued with them, they
begged them 10 show themselves men and
get out Of the car.
WARNING THE swiTCHMEN.
They told them the castle you are in
now will tumble down and the railroad
aud magnates will be buried with you In
the ruins.
"Haye you got a family2 So have We.
Here's S. for you 10 come out2n "And
here's $40 MORE" and the bills were put
up before the window. I'll you don't come
with us you can 20 TO the uttermost parts
Of the earth and the odium will follow
you" Oh
Up 10 o'clock the railroad officials
were ondeavoring unsuccesstully 10 gel
men to run All engine on the main track,
and the strikers were laboring with the
switChmen to try To make them give up.
al 5 o'clock fifteen OF the new men had
Joined the strikers, and the supposition
then was that they would to a man Join
the strikers. Six OF the strikers were Gr-
rested on warrants sworn out by the com.
pany.
AT 0 o'clock the sheriff ordered the
deputies TO return TO the city until 0 TO-
morrow morning, the railroad company
having decided 10 make no further at.
tempt TO run trains Till that time. II
seems impossible 10 induce engineers 10
take out their engines against the wishes
OF the strikers. A reporter who talked 10
several OF the engineers, claim they are
afraid 10 do 30, and II ls said that railroad
officials are uncertain what move TO make
next. Everything is quiet at present.
A deputy sheriff arrived In the city this
evening, having In charge FIVE strikers
