THE COMPANY STILL BOASTS
THAT IT HAS WON,

The Strikers Dissatisfied With the
Newspaper Reports and Will Issue
Daily Bulletin OF Their Own
Two Pinkerton Detectives Accident
ally Run Down and Killed by a
Train.
NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-The members of
the Knights of Labor expressed the opinion
this morning that a compromise by which
the strikers will return to work with the
sacrifice Of as little dignity as possible
would be reached when General Master
Workman Powderly and the members of
the general executive board called on Vice
President Webb. From the talk of the
railroad men. however, this seems to be
over-confdence on the part of the strikers,
for 1t is stated that the company will stand by
the spirit and letter of its statement issued
last night Gen. Supt. Voorhees, said this
morning that he was tired of hearing about
the strike now, and thought it was time for
every one to agree that it was over Supt
Voorhees, would not say anything about the
probable visit of Mr.. Powderly to the Off
cials.
THE COMPANY STANDS FIRM.
ST do not know" said he, "the purpose of
his intended visit, and have no idea Of what
proposals he intends to make. Perhaps he
may not come here at all / don't think
there is much talking required. They all
know what the company IS going TO do m
reference to the strikers. We have acted
as fairly as we could in the matter and
we don't need many more men now. The
freight yard at Sixty-fifth street is all right
again. We will run the last of the old
freight out to-day and by tomorrow will
be in the same condition we were before
the strike took place. While we still keep
police around us we fear no danger, but it
is just as we'll to be on the safe side Of
everything" The passenger service in the
depot is fully re-established.
TWO DETECTIVES KILLED.
ALBANY, Aug 15.-Alfred Ludington and
George ID. Rossiter of Philadelphia, two of
Pinkerton's detectives stationed at West
Albany, were killed by a passenger train
this morning. They had been to get a
drink of water, and were returning to their
posts at the time.
The air brake hose on a Harlem train
sent out from Chatham this morning was
found to have been cut and resort was
made to the old brakes.
Men are at work in the East and West
Albany yaros on confused mass of cars
bany at 10 o'clock. The strikers are quiet
as ordinary spectators.
NO FREIGHT MOVED
Bulletins posted here by the strikers in.
| dicate that the reports by the company
| that freight was being moved from termi-
nal points were not true. The report that
| freight is being moved to aud from West
| Albany is erroneous. The cost Uf main
tanning the Pinkerton force in Albany will
| be about $1,000 per day. During the
| evening a number of Pinkerton men were
stoned by persons hidden. Five received
injuries and we're taken to the Pinkerton
car in the union station where their wounds
were dressed by physicians. Two received
severe scalp wounds. A fragment Of brick
was taken from the wound Of one. It Is
not known who threw the missiles.
DISSATISFIED WITH THE PRESS.
ALBANY, Aug. Is, II p M.-The strikers
say they are dissatisfied with the way the
newspapers of the country have been treat
ing the starters of the Central strike, and
to-day the following bulletin was posted in
trout of the headquarters of District Assem-
bly, No. 246:
To AU Comrades:
Owing to the fact that the press Of the coun-
try to a large extent, are misrepresenting our
case, the executive board of D. A. No. 24G
have resolved TO issue a semi-daily bulletin of
of issue, the same to be forwarded to all the
district assemblies along the road by the first
mail. The condition at present is a great i'm
provement upon the strike as it stood at
o'clock p N. of Aug. s. The
best Of feeling prevails along the line, all our
members are hopeful and remaining stanch
and true to the cause. Reuorts which are con-
stanty being received here that the company
are moving freight as well as passengers are
entirely untrue, and none is being moved to any
extent and more, they still refuse to receive all
shipments of freight offered them, which
disproves Mr.. Webbs assertions. The
Efforts of the company to incite
our people to riot and violence by employing
Pinke=ton men, with clubs and Winchesters,
has so far been an utter failure. Caution all
our brothers to remain firm and vigilant and all
will soon end in our favor.
e. PoRTLEY, Secretary.

board of the locomotive firemen, which has

it was decided not to strike unless a strike
was ordered by higher authority.
