New YoRR, Aug. ll-Al through the
| night and early this morning it looked as
though the strike on the New York Cen

ont" Nevertheless. both parties, as far
AZ words went at all events, were as stub
|born as ever. The Buffalo Express, the
newspaper train, moved out on time at ;
a. m., and before o'clock two trains had
. been sent out over the Harlem division,
| and soon after the announcement was
made that all trains would be run today.

Hill for troops and arrangements are
being perfected for moving freight today.

rangements there are the same as yeSter-
day. There Is no excitement around the
depot except that large numbers are APP

regarding the statement made in the
morning papers that the firemen had been
called out, that an order calling them out
had been issued few days ago, but both
tiremen and engineers had disregarded the
order. II have reason to believe" Mr..
Webb said, that neither the engineers
nor fremen will go out" The number OF
trains going out of the Grand Central
depot was the customary number going
out on week DAYS. Those which have
been suspended are local trains and Of
little Importance. SO far today no incOm-
ing freight has arrived atany Of the yards.

which left the depot this morning was
promptly ON time. and the schedule time
will be observed today.

believed among all labor men that Depew
knew the strike was coming and for that
reason fled To Europe, knowing that while

brought TO bear upon him which would
force him into conciliation with the
Knights. lie should either come home
