WILL. Ri NJ STRIKE,

Differences Will bo Settled,

Tho New York Central Oniclnls Say All
Differences Will bo Settled.
New YoEH, April o3.-The officials st
the Grand Central depot this morning
stated that so far there was no strike Of
the employees on this New York Central
Railroad in this city.
They express themselves as confident
that there would be no trouble between
the railroad company and tho men, and
said that il there were any differences
existing between them they would DO
amlcably settled before proceeding to
strike.
The Knights OF Labor Assemblies
along, the line OF the New York Centrrl
have been talking for more than week
Of striking because OF grievances against
Theodore Voorhees,, the General Super.
ntendent. The officials OF the road
have uniformly denied that there WIS
any cause for q strike, or any cxpecta-
tson Of it. Tho employees who are en-
rolled in these assemblies on this end of
the line are mostly switchmen and train
hands, with, 1t is said, q few firemen.
The lateat OF these to move in the mai
ter is Local Assembly No. C925, who're
members are employed ut tho Grand
Central Station here. According to its
officers, the Assembly last Sunday voted
substantially to demand the dismissal of
Superintendent voorhees,, and declared
their intention, and that Of other en-
ployes,, to begin a general strike unless
their demand: was complied with. A
statement OF grievances drawn up at tl,ig
meeting asserts that Superintendept
Voorhees, has systematically reduced tho
working force Of the road and thereby
crippled its efficiency, and done great in
justice in many individual cases. The
men declare that Voorhees, has REDUCED
the running force between New York
and Buffalo more than 400 mcn. The
number OF fagmcn, they say, has been
reduced one.third.
President Depew says the reductions
arc only those made every spring, and
that Mr.. Voorhees, is only carrying out
the orders OF his slloeriOra.

Two baggers, singles and triples. It was
the worst punishment a pitcher has re-
ceiVeu ior some time. Tho six runs
scored IN the opening inning were all

total OF ten bases.
Monroe. who nsed TO pitch for th

when the home boys proceeded 10 iramt
on him after they had murdered him hr

however, didn't make much
