New YORK, August 1O.-The COM
pletc 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 the business on the road
This they have not succeeded in doing,
1t is evident that a 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 a hand in the fight last
night. Mr.. Holland himself told a re-
porter yesterday afternoon that there
was an understanding to that effect,
but to-day he said he heard nothing fur
ther about the matter and could not tell
what the Brotherhood would do. A
prominent member of the Brotherhood
said to-day that locomotive engineers
were not TO be i'm this strike. 1t was
not their fight. but. of course. he added,
should they be ordered out they would
90. He did not think such an order
would be given. The Brotherhood said
several others remembers the c., b. *
q. strike, in which their places were
taken by Knights of Labor and are not
oyer-anXiouS to help the Knights to-
day.
PASSENGER TRAFFIC RESUMED.
To-day the regular schedule pasSen-
ger service Of the Hudson River and
New York Central and the Harlem roads
was resumed, the only change being the
consolidation OF certain outgoing west
ern trains. The Southwestern Limited
and the Chicago Limited were consoli-
dated and left on the Southwestern
time at 1920 a. m. The North Shore
yeStbulc limited, which was to have
left at 1850 p. m, was consolidated with
the fast Western express and left at q
p. m. All the other trains left on
schedule time and the local trains took
passengers up the road as usual. The
tie-up in the West Shore road
which was inaugurated last night
did not affect passenger traffic. The
freight business was brought TO a stand
still, but the passenger trains ran as
usual, and there was very little delay.
The through Boston trains on the New
Haven road left as usual. The 3 o'clock
train this afternoon carried out Far
u e
den Post, of Norfolk, Va, and posts Of
New York to the G.. \. Il. celebration
in Boston. Police Captain Melvin,
who is OH 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.
NO TROUBLE EXPECTED.
Though all necessary precautions
are taken to nip any demonstration in
the bud he said, Il 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 general
hearSay. | have seldom seen Il more
orderly crowd Of strikers. There are
no loungers around and no gatherings
anywhere. The men confer at their
headquarters and do So quietly"
John j. Holland, the member OF the
Executive Board OF the knights, to-day
said that he had nothing to impart and
was very incommunicatiyc. 1t was an
nouuced this afternoon that it had been
decided to dispatch tomorrow freight
trains to their various destinations. !
The following notice was posted in a
conspicuous place in the vicinity oi the /
department.:
"Persons seeking employment on the |
New York Central and Hudson River /.
Railroad will please make application |
at the Office Of the Wagner Car Com
pany.'
MANY APPLICATIONS FOR WORK.
The result was that applications were /
received by the score. by one OF the /
officials it was said $50 men had been
taken on. Mr.. Voorhees, said he had
received number of applications from
railroad men living around New York:
others from PittSburg, and from men
employed in the Erie yards; some even
came from as far west as Chicago. Late
in the afternoon a circular was issued by
Third Vice President Webb. 1t de-
clared the road would select its own
men. and would not be dictated to by
the knights.
Master Workman Lee, of the strikers
district assembly, arrived from Albany
AT noon to-day and attended Il meeting
of the knights this afternoon. More
than 1900 yards were present. \ resO-
lution was adopted thanking the press
of the 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 the at
tempt 10 run freight trains, which will
be tomorrow. At the West Shore
depot and about the yards at Wechaw-
ken everything during the day was
quiet. The fact is, of the 100 men en-
ploved about the yards and depot,
about half were subject to the knights
order. All the passenger trains are dis
patched about an half an hour behind
the schedule time. II
The Chicago and North Shore limited
due at the Grand Central depot at four
O'Clock this afternoon was tied up by
the strikers at Dewitt, y. \. and IS not
expected to arrive until seven o'clock in

at Dewitt and the militia has been called

stoDDed at Dewitt took out and de- (
stroyed the coupling pins and threat
encd violence to any man who might go
to work. ..-e,.,

afternoon making up train Of 4i cars,
which he expects to get under way at

made no hostile demonstration. Inc
green men succeeded in getting five
cars loaded. The following order was
issued Mt the Sixtieth street switch yard
this afternoon:
