state Of the Delaware d Hudson strike
this morning said: superintendent
Hammond was In the yards at 8 O'Clock
this morning. Nearly all the men who
are ont reported for duty. They said,
however, that they could not 90 to work
until thoy had received orders from their
committee now In oonBultation with the
leaders Of the Oertral strike.
"Mr. Hammond told the men that un.
less they went TO work ct noon their
places would b0 filled by other employees
OF the company who were now ON their
way here from vasious points along the
road. At noon we will have enough men
TO man the switches and handle the
freight, the traffic OF which will be re.
sumed this afternoon.
"phe committee from the men thought
they would ask for another consultation,
but we have heard nothing from them ss
yet"
The men are only out in this vicinity.
From another reliable source it was
learned that the employees of the d. Il II.
are only organized tetween here and
Troy, and there is no fear of general
tie-up on this road.
There is not much perishable freight
here except what arrived this morhing
for the summer hotels up north, and this
will be sent up to. day. The passenger
trains are running on time.
Superintendent Bissell said there had
been no change in the situation on the
Central road.

New yoRK, Aug. 14.-The Grand Gen.
trai depot had fairly assumed its normal
appearance this morning. Whatever may
be said OF tho status of the strike AZ
Albany, there Is little or no indication
that the railroad has been crippled here.
Third Vicc-preaidsnt Webb was in his
office early this morning reading mes
sages from various point. along the line.
We had very little that was new to
impsrt. II made q tour of the line
between here and Albany yesterday and
found everything as quiet and the work
going on as smoothly as it ever was,
except at Fast Albany. This is the only
eyesore we got along the road. II the
yards were clear ut Albany we could
handle sll freight without the slightest
difficulty.
"In my opinion this authorities have
been lax 10 their efforts to preserve order
there. IL had Inspector Williams up
at Albany for half day, you can bet the
ysrds would be cleared and our freight
service would be restored In quick time.
But expsct that In a day or two order
will be restored IN Albany as well as In
New York"
Mr.. Webb did not put much faith In
the rumor that the hremen won d be
called out and the strike on the d. & H.,
ha iaH AZ n
hat would be eaBily settled.
The train service on the Central is now
fully restored 18th the exception of one or
two Oroton locals and these can be put
on the road tomorrow if necessary. The
officials say the neH men are doing as
well as can be expected. Many--in fact
most OF them-are experienced railroad
men.
