P"A"'yt'h VI uIl trNllC On INC New l ork
Central road, caused by the Knights oi
Labor when they struck their first blow
Friday night, led them to believe that
they could maintain the stoppage OF the
businc1s on the roads OF the company,
This they have not succeeded in doing.
1t 10 evident that u 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 areporter yester.
day afternoon that there was an under
standing 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 Brother
hood said today that locomotive en-.
gineGts were not to be in this strike. 1t
WAS not their fight, but OF course, he
added, should they be ordered out they
would 20. He did not think such an
order would be given. The Brother
hood, said several others, remembers the
Chicago, burlington & Quincy strike, in
which their places were ,uken By Knights
OF Labor, and are not over.anxious TO
help the Knights.

John J. Holland the member of the
Executive Board OF the knights, to-day
said that he had nothing to impart, and
was very nncommunicative. 1t was an-
nounced this afternoon that it had been
decided to dispatch tomorrow freight
trains to their various destinations.
The following notice WAS posted in
conspicuous place in the vicinity of the
depot:

New York Central and Hudson River
Raiioad will please make application at
the ciliee OF the Wagner Car Com
pany." .--..-.

received by the score. By one OF the

taken on. s{
Mr.. Voorhees, said he had received
number Of applications from railroad
men living around New York, others
from Pittsburgh and from men employed
in the Erie yards. some even came from

Late III the afternoon circular was
issued by Third Vice President Webb,

ton was adopted thanking the press OF
tho country for the fair manner in
which they had treated the strike.
Late this afternoon new orders were
issued by the police, made necessary by

about hnii wore subject to tho Knights
order. All tho passenger trains are dis.
patched, each about hall an hour be.
hind tho achcdule time. s
Noattempt was made to dispatch CT
