THE CENTRAL STRIKE.
The Company's officials Claim There L
No Hitch Now in Traffic.
The Road Still Guarded, But No Violence Is
Threatened - The Strikers Claim False
Reports Are Given Out.

New YORK, Aug. u At Grand central depot
this morning there no longer existed even a SEM
blance of a strike. Passenger trains we're COM
ing in and going out with all appearance of
their usual regularly. The inflow and the out
How of passengers was as great ever, and ex
cepting for the presence of the unusual number
OF policemen idly standing about the various
entrances to the depot the most careful observer
would be unable to perceive any indication of
the tie-up that on Friday night threatened TO be
so formidable.

ut $40 CLOCK and found awaiting him tele-
gram from the assistant superintendent of SYRIA
yards stating that order has been fully
stored there aud trRlns were running without
interruption. This he said, ended the strike.

will be run to-day on the same schedule as yes
terday, arrangements being completed TO run
freight trains from the SiXty-ffth street and
Thirty-third street yards. He said the road had
all the men it needs now. He said he did not know
whether any OF the men had been taken back
or not, as every man employed was taken on as
ms new hand. There IS 4 smaller police force
on guard at the Grand Central depot to-day than
was there yesterday. and there are none visible
in the yards there. but on each OF the bridges
crossing tracks from the depot to Fifty-fourth
street, there were stationed three or four police
men.
The first freight train that went out of the
Sixty fifth street YARD to-day left for Troy at
$3.50 a. M. Inspector Steer and Capts. ALlalre
and Berghold are in the yards with 100 police
men. More policemen are stationed aloug the
road at intervals as far as One Hundred and
Tenth street. There has been no disturbance
whatever, and the work of making up other
trains which are 10 leave later in the day is pro-
ceedlng with customary QuietnesS. Trim Dis
patcher LOTUS and Yardmaster Nutshell haye
now q sufficient force Of men to run out all cars
in the yards in short time. A freight train
will start. from Albany for New York to-day,
and is expected at the Sixry-sixth street yards

tant. All trains are now leaving the Grand
Central depot on time, and incoming trains
only slightly delayed. Freight traffic has been
practically resumed, and the blockade OF cars is
being rapidly raised.
The strikers were in secret session at Ledwith
hsll, Forty-tfth street and Third avenue, all
morning, receiving reports from various pickets
on duty. One of the officials said to 4 reporter:
1--WE are just as strong were Fri
day night. The railroad officials have been Civ
ing out false reports to newspapers in order to
discourage the strikers.

other card to play, but reticent as to Just
what it was. Postofhce authorities said to-day
