The New York Central Going Along -
ifNothing Had Happened

ance thls morning. whatever may De ssio of
the status OF the strike in Albany there 10 little
or no indication that the railroad has been
crippled here. Third Vice President Webb
was in his Office early this morning reading
messages from various points along the line.
He had very little that new TO impsrt
II made q tour OF the line between here and
Albany yesterday and l found everything 80
quiet and the work going on as smoothly as 10
ever was except at East Albany This 10 the
only eye sore We have got along the road
III the yards were clear st Albany
We could handle all our freight
without the slightest difhculty. In
my opinion the authorities have been lax in
their efforts TO preserve order there. III had
an inspector Williams there for half day you
can bet the yards would be cleared and our
freight service would be restored in quick
time. But l expect that in . day or t.o order
York"
Mr.. Webb did not put much faith In the
rumor that the fremen would be called out, and
the strike on the Delaware and Hudson he
regarded as a small matter and one that would
be easily settled The train service on the
Central is now fully Restored with the excep-
ton OF one or two Croton locals. and these can
be put on the road tomorrow If necessary. The
officials say the new men are doing as well 40
can be expected Many-in fact most Of them
are experienced railroad men
Ia the S5th street freight yard the routine Of
business Is not yet established. Ii is said here,
tOO. tnht tuls uue 10 Tue COndltlOn OF tDlnge
at Albany. The police are still squatied Ia
groups over the yard and large number OF
men are idly awaiting the making up OF ths
trains, which is proceeding rather slowly.
-Four way freight trains left the yard yester-
day for points between here and Buffalo, and
one went west of Buffalo. Two trains were
sent TO Albany this morning. and one laden
with beef arrived The traffic between the 6ath
street and the down town yards 10 fully estab-

MOVING rREIaHr AT ALBANY.
ALBANY, NY, August 1.-two hundred
Pinkerton men, about q quarter Of whom are
armed with Winchester rifles, took possession
of the West Albany freight yards this morning.
New hands In sufficient numbers 20 operate the
yards from the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
| and Reading roads went TO work and about 10
o'clock the first effort 10 move freight was
made. The strikers are very peacesble and no
violence is anticipated.
General Manager Young when asked as 90
| the status OF the Delaware and Hudson strike
this morning, said: Superintendent Hammond
was In the yards at 8 o'clock this morning.
Nearly ali the men who are out reported
| Tor duty. He said, however, that they
could not go to work until they
| had received orders from their committee,
who are in consultation with the leaders Of the
! Central strike Mr.. Hammond told the men
| unless they went TO work at noon their places
! would be filed by other employees of the COM
pany, who were now on their way here from
| various 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 resumed this afternoon The
committee from the men thought they would
ask for another consultation, but we have
heard nothing from them yet The men are
only out in this vicinity"
From another reliable source II was learned
that the employees of the Delaware and Hudson
are only organized between here and Troy,
anu there is no fear of q general tie
up on this road. There is not much
| perishsble freight here except what
rived this morning for the summer hotels
up north and this will be sent up today. The
passenger trains are running on time. Supt
Bisseil said there had been no change in the
situation on the Central road.

able feeling here. Most OF the men were
| strangers and il is said that but fow OF them
| were railroad men.
| CHICAGO, H., August I4-Inauiries around
the offices and yards of the Michigan Central
railroad yesterday evening revealed the fact
| that no symptoms of a strike had developed
| amCng the men employed by that company A
| large number of the switchmeD and brakemea
declared that their grievances were not OF such
! Importance as TO cause a strike when the result
was uncertain Regarding the afternoon dis
patch TO the effect that $50 Michigan Central
brakemen had been sent TO West ALBANY 20
move freight for the New York Central the
men in the yards said that they had not heard
of II. They said that men had been sent
from Chicago and il any had been sent from
Detroit they were not members of the Brother
hood Of Brakemen.
THE BROTHERHOOD MAY ACT.
ALBANY, August IA long meeting Of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen was held
last night, at which there was present a repre-
sentative of the joint board, who had come ON
from the west to look into the situation here
He says that the joint board will hold an
emergency meeting IN Utica today to take inn
mediate action on the strike. He could not
affirm the report that Chief Sargent had acted
IN the matter. but thought the brotherhood
would not stand by the knights. ss they were
meeting all along the road In his opinion tbs
strike was very far from settlement
INTERVIEWS AT CLEVELAND.
CLEVELAND, August l4-A dispatch from
Albany yesterday stating that Grand Master
Sargent ordered the New York Central fremen
out and that the order was sent from Cleveland
was shown Chief L. Nj. Arthur of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers. He said:
Il do not believe il. and / am sure Mr. Sar-
gent was not an Cleveland"
Grand Master Sargent arrived at O'Clock
this morning from Terre Haute. Hastily alight-
ing from a sleeper, he hurried 10 n carriage,
where he was intercepted by an Associated
Press reporter, 20 whom he very pleasantly
granted a few moments conversation.
When told he was expected in Cleveland TO
arbitrate the strike question on the New York
Central he said: II have come 10 Cleveland 20
meet committee of our men from Youngstown
TO consider questions of business relative %
the convention"
Then am i TO understand you are not here
to look after the hremens interest in the New
York Central strike?"
My trip has nothing TO do with the strike Of
the New York Central"
Mr.. Sargent terminated the interview by
entering carriage, after stating that he would
be quartered while in Cleveland st the Hol-
lenden
p VI. Arthur, chief Of the brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers, is also stopping II the
Hollenden and the thought naturally suggests
itself that MIR. Sargent will be brought in con-
tact with Mr.. Arthur.
