For months the company hse been
preparing for battle, and has, been
hiring non-union switchmeralloy vsF the
country. Soquietly has it been Doing
this work that union switchn,endaS not

moment of what was going on. AS soon
as the local force was discharged 600
new men were ready to take their plhces
at the switches
OK Lerlenced men, and under the super
vision of various division superintend-
ents had no trouble in doing the work.
Each division superintendent had his
crew OF men and went to work carefully
and systematically. The result was thot
passenger and suburban trains, as,well
as all freight trains, came in ardy,vent
out on schedule time.
No violence WAS offered by the old

ing the new corners at their labors.. Po-

THAT INJUNCTION
May Yet Stop the Work on the
Henry Street Bridge.

Tho suggestion of Chairman McCon-
nell, of the b1ilding committee, in refer.
ence to tie change in the plans of the
Henry street bridge, as printed in THE
TIMES yesterday morning, did not meet
with the approval of the CON plainnntx
in this matter.
a meeting was, held yesterday after
noon at the Office Of e. l.. Terry TO dis.
cuss the matter. There were present
Messrs. Terry, Jaunison, Flicl.wir.
Mackay and Morris as directors to tho.
present plans of the bridge. They were
represented by j. Allen Watts. Messrs.
Mcconnell, Siinker and Sheehan, who
compose the bridge committee, and y.
5. Boswell, the engineer In charge, were
present in the interest 90 the city.
The question Of placing the BRIDGE at
commerce street was mentioned by Mr..
Terry. by doing this no properties
would be injured, and it would accom-.
modatc moro people than at Henry
street.
MIR. Skinker said the bridge could not
be placed at that street. because the
bonds had been voted for HENRY street.
lie favored placing tho bridge at Henry
street, and did not consider that Il
would lessen the value of any proper
ties. There would be ample room for
carrying on any kind of business.
MIR. Watts argued that Commerce
street was tho proper place for the
bridge. He did not think u bridge at
henry street would bee any particular
value.
MIR. Mcconnell was in favor of stop.
ping the brigde at once if the property
owners thercabout were going to object.
lie said the idea of Grnberg e Morris
raising objections was absurd. If he
were on jury he would not give them
five cents damages were they to bring
suit.
Considerable argument prevailed, but
the property owners were firm in the
stand they took. Mr.. Macllay, mana
ger of the electric light plant, said the
bridge would damage property in the
vicinity so per cent
Mr.. Mcconnell made suggestion.
which pleased most of tho compluin-
ants. His idea was to extend the an
proach down Railroad avenue and
reach the bridge from tho direction of
Jefferson street. This would make n
sharp turn on tho first abutmcnt, but
would answer every purI Csc, and offer
more feasible grade.
10 this suggestion Mr.. Skinker OBJ
lected. lie said the bridge was intended
to accommodate the business center of
the city on Salem avenue and Campbell
street. 70 place the approach on Rail
road avenue woule be equal to no bridge
at all.
Mr.. Terry offered $500 toward build
ing an approach from Railroad avenue.
1t was decided to confer with the rail
road people and the city solicitor, and
decide whether MIR. McConnell's plan of
moving tho bridge to Commerce street
would be adopted.
The question was left over till Mon
day night, when the matter will be
brought before the City Council

DIPLOMACY STILL THE WORD.
No Arbitration Yet Agreed Upon to Settle
the Little. SIuabblc with Itnly.

WAsHlNGToN, May 14.-TSpeciall-
1t is said at Tie State Department that
there has been no suggestion of an arbi-
tration OF difficulties between Italy and
the United States, growing out of the
New Orleans tragedy, as reported in a
special dispatch from Rome. Arbitra-
ton IS the last resort after diplomacy
has failed, and as Secretary Blaine has
promised to consider claims for inGem-
nifty it cannot be held that diplomatic
stage has been passed.
Rather indiscreet utterances of the
Italian consul at New Orleans, relative
to Il conspiracy to kill the mayor and
other prominent persons, causes amuse-
ment at the department, but as they
have not taken an official shape no
notice will be taken of them by our
government.
