Tho secret OF the Matter.
A United Press reporter was informed
that the secret Of tho whole matter was
that Governor Hin felt compelled to take
some action in reference to the strike The
day had been occupied by Acting sheriff
Austin, Assistant Superintendent Gould.
OF the western division, and the military
officers IN holding consultations, the re-
salts OF which ore said to have been quickly
communicated 70 Governor Tiill At noon
ths governor is alleged to have inquired
uAat the civil officers had done. on re-
csiying reply ID is asserted that the gov
cFnor. called about him half dozen leaders
ef the knights of Labor NJ Albany and told
them IN very plain terms that the embargo
aust b. lifted os he would certainly order
the militia out at once.
II Brought About Crisis.
This brought things 70 a crisis, and the
revolt Mt East Syracuse IL supposed 60 have
hecn brought about in part, at least. hv'
this information. Mr. Holland. Of the
knights Of Labor executive board, arrived
at East Syracuse on one Of the first pns.
ncnger trains from the east that arrived
after the Pinkertun men arrived He met
Under Sheriff Austin, and IL reported 10
have said that he would do his best TO pre-
vtnt violence
The strikers will not make any demon
stration. Eighteen car loads Of hogs and
one car Of sheep were allowed 10 be started
for Albany Several OF the hogs have died
and some are ia dying condition.
Legality Of the finkerson TuFuout.
ALBANY, Aug IA committee Of the
strikers waited upon Attorney General
Tabor for his opinion as 70 the legality Of
she Pinkerton men being allowed 10 patrol
under arms. lie decided that the railroad
could have them As long as they remained
upon their property, but il any OF them in
truded on the public streets they were
liable TO arrest. While the railroad sends
Unt howcry statements from New York that
they are afraid, Is evidenced by the fact
that carpenters have begun erecting berths
ln the car shops FOR the occupancy Of the
miliiin that may be Quartered at West
Albany. At D o'clock last evening train
on the Central bound for Troy was stopped
at the iron works. After warning the
trainmsn that IL they attempted IL run
after dark they would be stoned, the train
was allowed 70 proceed
The sheriff Called Upon.
A committee Of the strikers held CON
ference with Delaware and Hudson man
ayers and they agreed 10 refuse to aid the
Central road. About the same time Sher-
III Roorey was bottled by the Central
road that their West Albany shops were
In danger and that they should expect him
TO furnish protection. The important
switches a, Albany were filled with three
sets OF men, each set going out when APP
pealed TO by the strikers. Five switches
are without any care, and the others are
under green hands, and an accident is
probable at any time.
What the strikers Claim.
A statement from the headquarters Of
the strikers says; 'Ihe statements sent
out by she Central road are made 10 bol
ster their position and are untrue. The
men are more confident than ever, and
the iiremen only await our orders to 20
out. The road while first announcing that
they would only give she men twenty-fonr
hours and would then ill their places has
been sending 70 the mems houses and
Offering them the biggest inducements 70
return.
They have also falsely stated that Mr.
Lee las been dcposed from the order
Their last desperate move is 20 send out
the pay car SO that the men will use the
money for drink. Then in case OF not sue
eeeding In this they will ask the public
sympathy and get damages from the
county whore any trouble takes place.
We have already offers Of large sums OF
money from people outside the order who
sympathize with u.s.
Firemen May Strike.
The Knights ore jubilant The Fedora |
tion Of Labor have pledged their support |
and assistance to the knights This order |
IS one Of the largest in the country
The strikers have made application TO /
Judge Gutman for the arrest of one Of
the Pinkerton detectives upon the ground
OF personating an officer. They will thus
make a test case Il is understood that the
engineers win not go out, but that the Ere
men are 70 strike today II any attempt is
made 70 move freight The engineers in
such ease will refuse 10 run engines with
green aremen.
