the people who assaulted them. I don't see
how our road or the Pinkerton men can be
held responsible for the consequences. We
have good police protection In this city. and
we don't need any Pinkerton men here. 1t is
very different at Albany. The Pinkerton men
are our employees for the time being, and
they have the right which all citizens have. OF
helping us TO operate tho road and to dofend
themselves and the mon engaged in operating
tho road.
General Manager Toucoy, who won't up to
Albany last night to look after things tele-
Rraphed me to-day asking II would authorize
the withdrawal OF the Pinkerton men from the
trains running through the olty. told him to
use his discretion. OF course the Pinkerton
mon will not be wholly Withdrawn from Albany
In any case but held there In reserve. / learn
from Mr.. Touoey that he is trying the expert
mont Of taking the Pinkerton mon from some
OF the trains and seeing whether the strikers
will let the trains run or not 80 far there has
been no dlfloulty. understand that the only
trouble during the day thoro was the shooting
OF Pinkerton man. It was q slight wound, /
believe and q very trivial aEsir.
Every place among the employees OF the
road. both In the passenger, freight, and mo-
tive power departments. which was made va
cant by the strike has now been filled There
are no further vacancies for any OF the strikers
to flll should any Of them want to come back"
Late last night Superintendent Voorhees, re-
ceived report at the Grand Central Depot
that some OF the toughs along Eleventh avenue,
near Forty eighth street, were making trouble
again by uncoupling the cars. Mr.. Voorhees,
notified the police at the Grand Central sub
station. who in turn notified Police Headouar-
ters. The proper orders were issued from
there. and word was sent to Mr.. Voorhees, that
an extra force OF police would be stationed on
Eleventh avenue between Forty-fourth and
Forty eighth streets during the night. Tho
touRhs Of this neighborhood caused some
trouble in tho early days of the strike In this
manner. but the police soon stopped It
, General Superintendent Voorhees, said yes
terday: We are now running all the passen-
ger trains on schedule time We are moving
freight not with the Same rapidity as usual, OF
course. but with fair degree OF promptness.
Freight is moving all along the line. We are
receiving freight at every station on the road.
We sent out fourteen long trains from the
Sixty fifth street yard to-day and will send out
more:to- morrow"

ployee who won't on strike to Mr.. F. A. Has
