Tho first open surrender on the part OF the
New York Central strikers took place late YES
terday afternoon. whom the members OF Local
Assembly l,705. Knights OF Labor, covering the
ABViem Rallfoad, voted almost unanimously
to dlsbnnd, and the members put themselves
at tho disposal OF the railroad officers with a
prayer for reinstatement This action, with
the facts that the Executive Board In session
ut Detroit thus far ignores the strike and that
the freight blockade at Albany has been raised,
comprises the news in the New York Central
aituation. There Is bit OF personal intelllgsncs
however. that should not bo omitted Vice.
President Webb was called homo suddenly
about 8 o'clock last evening, and when he came
back two hours later he seemed even more
pleased about something than whom It first be-
oamo apparent that the strike was failure.
He explained that 1t was boy, and that II
weighed 9K pounds.
It was blue day for the Knights. After

was stated very positively that the members Of
the Brotherhood OF Firemen had boon ordered
out by the executive officers OF the orRaniZa-
tion, but this story Mas no ascertainable foun-
datlon. The Brotherhood does not stlike that
way. Its rules require preliminary rresan-
tation OF RrievanceS. Reports OF tue spread OF
the strike to other roads had no moe facts to
back them than that 100 men In the Delaware
and Hudson yards at Albany had left work be-
cause Central cars and freight we're being han
died. The yards will be manned again to-day.

mAmbers. in order to secure re8mpIoyment.
They said they would do this after giving
twelve hours notice TO Master Workman Lee.

WHO WILL SURRENDER NEKT2
The Knights held ano her meeting for mu-
tual encouraGement Yesterday at Wendels As

know that. unless the engineers or flremen
out they n9 have no hope Of Winning and
coming out; the men wonder what the Execu-
tive Board ID going 10 do Most OF them are
