Succinetly States the Posi-
ton Of the Company.

New YORK, Aug. 10.-The complete
paralysis of all traffic on the New YORK
Central road, caused by the Knights OF
Labor when they struck their first blow
Friday night, led them to believe that
they could maintain the stoppage of
business on the roads of the company.
This they have not succeeded in doing,
and it is evident that general feeling
of disappointment prevails among the
strikers, though they will not admit
this. They placed strong reliance upon
the assistance of the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers, who, according
to many of the Knights, were to have
taken hand in the fight last night.
Mr. Holland himself told reporter yes
terday afternoon that there was an un-
derStanding to that effect, but to-day he
said he had heard nothing further about
the matter and could not tell what the
Brotherhood would do. A prominent
member of the Brotherhood said to-day
that the locomotive engineers were not
to be in this strike. 1t was not their
fight, but, of course, he added. should
they be ordered out, they would go.
He did not think such an order would
be given. The Brotherhood, said sew
eral others. remembers the c.. B. & Q.
strike, in which their places were taken
by Knights OF Labor, and are

to help the Knights now. To-day the
regular schedule passenger service OF
the Hudson River d New York Central
and the Harlem roads was resumed, the
only change being the consolidation of
certain outgoing Western trains.
The Southwestern limited and the
Chicago limited were consolidated
and left on the Southwestern's
ime at 1920 a. m. The North Shore
vestibuled limited, which was to have
left at 4:50 p. m, was consolidated with
the fast Western express and left at p.
m. All the other trains left on schedule
time, and the local trains took on pas
sengers up the road as usual. The tie
up on the West Shore road, which was
inaugurated last night, did not affect
passenger traffic. The freight business
was brought to standstill, but the pas
senger trains ran as usual, and there
was very little delay. The through
Boston trains OH the New Haven road
left as usual. The o'clock train this
afternoon carried out Farragust post, of
Portsmouth, Va; Warden post, of Nor
folk, Va; and Devin post, of New
York, to the q. A. r. celebration In
Boston. Police Captain McIlvain, who
is on duty at the Grand Central depot
reported everything exceedingly quiet.
Not an arrest had been made, and none
of the strikers had been seen
Around the Depot,
or along the line Of the road.
Though all necessary precautions
are taken to nip any demonstration
III the bud" he SAID. II do not
anticipate any trouble. 1t looks very
much to me as if the whole thing will be
over by Tuesday morning. | am not. of
course, speaking officially, but from gen.
eral hearSay. | have seldom seen q
more orderly crowd Of strikers. There
are no lOuugerS around, and no gather
ingS anywhere. The men confer at
their headquarters, and do so quietly"
John j. Holland, the member of the eX-
ecutlVe board of the knights, to-day
said that he had nothing to i'm
part, and was very uncOmmunicative.
During the afternoon General Manager
Tousey, Assistant Manager Voorhees,,
John 81. Fife, B. A. Loomis. j. j. Lof-
tus, Henry Douglass, and John S.
Green, the latter five of whom are promi-
nent freight officials of The road, held a
conference in the Office of Third Vice
President Webb. At its conclu-
sion it was announced that it
had been decided to dispatch tomorrow
all freight trains to their various desti-
nations. The following notice was
posted in conspicuous places In the
vicinity Of the depot:
Persons seeking employment on the New
York Central & Hudson River road will please
make application at the office of the Wagner
Palace Car company.
1t was signed by Theodore Voorhees,.
The result was that applications were
received by the score. BY one of the
officials it was said $50 men had been
taken on. TIe also declared that all tn e
men engaged we're experienced railroad
men. Mr.. Voorhees, said that he had re-
ceived a number of applications from
railroad men living around New York,
among whom were some employed on
the elevated roads. others from Pitts
burg, and some men employed in the
Erie yards. Some even came from as
far west as Chicago. The company had
not engaged them, as they found they
could obtain all they required IN the
city.
