at the general mannger's Office Vice.
president Webb said that he did not
think the matter would assume any
gigantic proportions and that men would
be found to man the trains. The ma
jority of those who have left are switch
men and yardmen and their places are
being filled as rapidly as possible. This
morning large crowd of railroad men
came over on the ferries from Jersey
City, all bound for the Grand Central
depot. They are mostly switohmen out
of work. Thoss available as competent
men are employed.
Five trains left the Grand Central this
morning, the western express ut 400, the
Syracuse express at $50, the through
Boston train at 8 a. m. and the Chicago
limited at $50 o. m. The officers of the
road are of the opinion that by tonight
they will have the road running in very
fair order.
Everything was quiet ct the Grand
Central. Quite large crowd congra-
gated in the various waiting rooms, but
employees from the information bureau
posted the anxious passengers on their
prospects of speedy departure, and
everything was taken good nsturedly. A
large force Of police was on hand to pre-
serve order and protect the property of
the road. Captain McIlevaine had his
men on duty, besides Is extra mon, who
were detailed to assist him. At every
bridge from the Grand Central to the
Harlem river there are picksts of five
men and squads patrol the yards. No
disturbance of any kind was reported.
The yards were deserted except by the
few men at work. No loungers were
around and there were no gatherings of
men along the line from the Harlem river
down to the Grand Central depot. re-
serve is on duty at tho sub precinct In the
basement of the depot.
The N. Y. Il N. Ii. road, though not
tied up is blocked for about 10 miles out
until it leaves the main New York Central
tracks. The waiting room was crowded
this morning and considerable relief
came when the Boston express was sent
out. II was said that trains would be
started from the other side Of the Harlem,
but no official announcement of the same
has been made. The New York &
Harlem waiting room was deserted and
the ticket Office closed. No trains wen.
out on that branch.
A reporter met J. j. Holland OF the
general executive board of the X. of L.,
ut the Grand Union Hotel this morning.
MIR. Holland said, 81 have been some.
what misrepresented in this matter. I
was sent here to investigate the
matter and try to arbitrate It. After
an attempt at conference with the
officials of the road yesterday 1 left
for Brooklyn and the papers this morning
tell me more than ever know or dreamt
of. had no idea that strike would be
ordered. / did not order it and did not
countenanoe it, My duty was TO lay the
matter before the executive board in
Detroit and to await their orders. The
strike was ordered by the local assembly
which they have perfect right TO do,
but was totally unaware Of any such in
tention on their part"
When asked about the extent OF the
strike he said that the jurisdiction of the
assembly extended as far as Buffalo and
that the strike would probsbly extend
that far, although he had no official in
formation to that effect.
"All my colleagues have left" con-
tinued Mr.. Holland. ''Mr. Les is in Al
bany and the remainder have dispersed.
am locked in here and will await fur
ther instructions.
The news had been received this morn
ing Of any trouble on the West Shore
road, though every precaution ia being
taken to handle both the freight and
passenger traffic on that road should the
tie up include this system. The New
York Central officials feel confident that
the interruption to travel will be OF short
duration. In the meanwhile the best
that can be done will be done for the
benefit of their patrons.
