Precisely at o'clock this morning Third
v,ce President Webb, entered the sanctum
allotted 70 him in tie depot. A reporter
Immediately stepped forward and said: sit
is reported Mr. Webb that the firemen of
the road have Joined the strikers"
"Tbat statement is untrue. The firemen
have not struck, and all trains 50 far are
running all right, and every one of them
left here fully manned"
"What about the signal towers"
"They are also fully manned, and the
men changed their shifts this morning as
though no strike had ever occurred. The
fact is, my young FRIEND" continued Mr..
Webb warming up and smiling, ''every-
thing is beautiful all along the road"

order to protect the employees Of our road. !"

direction of moving freight, which has
already suffered much delay?" was asked.
I'VE have already made arrangements

saying whether or not you have heard from
Mf. Depew IN relation TO the strike?n
i have not heard from Mr.. Depew vet.
ana indeed, don't expect to hear from Mr..
DepeW to-day. You see we have coped with
