ton of work yesterday the New York
Central road has moved more cars than
ordinarily and the prospect of the strike
impeding further progress is hourly di-
minishing. At Black Rock the embargo
on Western freight has been practically
removed and cars held back along the
Michigan Central are being showed across
the international bridge in large numbers
that exceed the ordinary influx. The
Erie made the first attempt to start
freight out OF the Black Rock yards, and
sent over another train this afternoon.
: TO supply food to non-union men or
even soldiers is regarded by those in SYM
pathy with the strikers rs high crime. A
Black Rock saloon-keeper, who was to
have furnished dinner to new men from
the New York Central yards today, not
only refused them any food, but ordered
the gang. that had been brought to the
place under guard of soldiers, to get out.
lie afterwards told the soldiers that he
was willing that they should eat at the
table. When the forces in the neighbor-
hood Of the Lake Shore tracks on Elk
street attempted to get something to eat
this morning they were repulsed at many
of the doors, even though they offered to
paw for food.
The New York Central, Erie and Lehigh
roads are all working vigorously at East
Buffalo. Soldiers still patrol all the yards
in which there has been trouble, and have
had to deal more with the crowds of spec
tators who fiocked around the yards than
with disatfected railroad men. During the
day the Lake Shore was moving some
freight and made several deliveries to the
New York Central this morning. The
Nickel Plate is not attempting TO move
much but perishable freight and stock
trains. The operations in the yards Is a
victory for the companies.
At military headquarters today CAPTAIN
Roe reports that the sentry on duty saw
couple of women climbing into a freight
car standing on track. He started in
pursuit and seeing him approach the
women hurriedly effected their escape.
The sentry climbed up and looked into
the car, where he found basket of shay
ings saturated with oil to which a match
had been applied but had fortunately gone
out before any damage had been done.
The women were not caught.
The chief military officials now located
here tonight are satisfied that the calling
to Buffalo Of oyer half the national guard
of the state was wise and necessary move.
Adjutant General Porter, with General
Doyle and other officers, made tour of all
the military camps today and his observa-
tions resulted in the conclusion that the
force here, considering the great amount
of territory to be covered and the vast
amount of property to be guarded, is not
excessive. Not only this, but doubt was
left in the minds of all the party whether
the summoning of more troops would not
be necessary. General Porter shook his
head when asked how long the troops
would remain here. General Doyle today
ordered an extra company of militia from
Hornellsvilie.
The preparations now being made indi-
cate that the troops will not be Withdrawn
for some time, at least. Talk about not
getting away before October is heard in
some of The camps. Many men are be-
coming uneasy about their business and
positions.
A railroad man said to an Associated
Press correspondent today:
The firemen have the whole thing in their
hands. If they go out you will see the greatest
strike the world ever knew. 1t will not be con-
fined to freight trains alone. but passenger
trains will be involved. When the fremen go
out the engineers will practically go out, too
Chief Engineer Arthur does not believe in
strikes, but he will not allow the men to go ON
the road with green fremen. When they strike
the roads will be tied up. They will win the
fight with the aid of the engineers or the switch
men, The firemen are well organized, but they
are slow TO go out, and really am doubtful
about the report that they are going to strike
They are too well paid. and have no grievance
of their own.
Buffalo. Rochester Il Pitlsburg road if the
new demands are made by the men, as il is
expected that all will be discharged and
new men put at work at the old rate. On
the Western New York & Pennsylvania
road the men refused to handle Reading
cars loaded with coal, and If the company
insists the men will go out.
JERSEY CITY, Aug. 2l.-The probability
that the Buffalo railroad strike would ex-
tend to Jersey City appears remote. The
Switchmen's Union met this afternoon
and when the meeting adjourned Master
Workman Timothy j. Sullivan said: "AlI
the boys are satisfied and strike is i'm
probable" A meeting of engineers was
called. but the attendance was small and
the leaders were all absent.
WILKEsBARgE, Aug 2l.-1t is rumored
here tonight that there is to be a general
tie-up within the next twenty-iour hours
on the Lehieh Valley. Delaware and Hud-
son Central railroads of New Jersey, but
nothing definite can be learned at the Le'
high Valley Office tonight. They say they
have heard of the rurnors. All trains were
running today and tonight on time.
