PROGRESS OF THE STRIKE.

Not Encouraging for the knights
Trains Being Moved with New Men.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE progress OF
the strike has not been in any degree
encouraging to the men. The railroad
company has secured several hundred
new men, and trains are now moving,
although not with the same regularity
as heretofore. Some trouble has been
experienced with the strikers at differ
ent points along the line. At Syracuse
the knights drove the new men from
the yards, and held possession until they
were finally dispersed by a force of
Pinkerton men. Serious trouble was
expected at Albany. A large force of
Pinkertons was sent there, but their
presence has not been needed. Vice
President Webb telegraphed the gov
ernor requesting him to call out tha
militia, but this the latter refused to do
until there was need for them. The
knights depend on the Brotherhoods of
Firemen and Engineers to go out. Ii
the latter refuse to strike the fight is

4 WAR ON THE KNIGHTS.
Strike Prccipitated ON the New
York Central by Aggressive
Acts of Officials.
Eight Thousand Employees Go
Out, Eut New Men Take
Their Places.
Strikers Disheartened by the Failure
of Brotherhood Men to Join
Them.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-The strike of
the employees on the New York Central
and Hudson River Railroad was begun
in earnest at 7:3o p. m.
No one seems to know how the strike
was ordered or who gave the signal to
strike. J. J. Holland, a member of the
executive board of the K. of L., denied
that he had ordered or even that he
knew that a strike had been ordered.
Several of the strikers were inter-
viewed on the matter, but declined to
talk further than to say that it would
prove to be the biggest strike before it
was over that the people IN the East had
seen for some years.
The Csntral's Position.
Vice President Webb has given the
following circular to the press: The
position of the company is this: We
viii select our own men, and we do not
propose that they viii be designated by
the knights of Labor or its committees.
When men are dismissed we shall get
rid of the inefficient, the most vicious
and those least in accord with our in
terests. When promotions are made we
will not be bound by the seniority rules
promulgated by the Knights of Labor
A due consideration will always be
given to the length of service. but the
first and most important rule will be the
qualification of the men for the place
ef the men have grievances the proper
officers will be willing to grant hearings
md see that consideration is given, but
We will
Not Allow Outsiders to Intervene
OF interfere between the employer and
the employe. For this reason alone
refused to allow Mr.. Holland to discuss
any differences alleged to exist between
the company and its men and not for the
reason, as stated, that we object to our
employees being members OF the labor
organizations. These are my views and
I am satisfied that they are concurred
in and approved by every official of the
company, by it's board of directors, and
by the gentlemen who are most inter-
ested in its securities. The strike is i'll
advised, cannot succeed aad we will put
it down and maintain the position we
have TAKEN
Eight Thousand Men Out.
District Master Workman E. J. Lee
said that between here and Buffalo
there We're about 5000 men out. Reports
received by him all along the line show
everything to be in good condition. In
his opinion those men who have not
gone out lean very strongly towards the
strikers

Failure of Brotherhood Men to Come Out
the Death Knell of the X. of L, Strike.
NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-Although the
strike On the New York Central railroad
has not been declared off by the Knights
of Labor it is virtually at an end. The
decision of the Brotherhood of Locomos
tive Engineers in refusing to come out
was its death knell About the Grand
Central depot everything was quiet and
trains were being dispatched with per-
|. feet regularity. The police were about
as strong as ever, but there was appar-
emily no necessity for them to be there.
Mr.. Webb was early at his Office and
expressed himself as thoroughly satisfied
with the situation He had just received
q dispatch from Dewitt which said that
all was quiet there, and there were no
strikers in sight. West bound trains
were being moved over the Auburn
branch. Live stock was being loaded in
cars and pushed forward. With the new
arrivals of about 250 men it is expected
that great progress viii be made during
the day in clearing the various freight
