BUFFALO, Aug. 23.-Throughout the re-
cent strike history here the Lackawanna
men have been working, avowing their al
legience to the railroad. All their demands
had been granted. Their hours and pay
had been fixed to suit them, being the
hours and rates for which other switch
men struck. To day train of freight was
shunted into the Lackswana yards. A
crew there refused to move this freight
and was discharged. The other men in
yards then quit. The number who went
out is 1876. A Lacakawana official says
the freight to which the men objected was
believed to be from the Lehigh. This was
mistake as it was ordinary lake freight.
Lackawana trains were running as usual
an hour after the strike. Two hours later,
for similar reasons it is said, the switch
men in Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg
road went out-adding $50 10 the idle num-
Der. Mr.. Sweeney is gaining record for
taoiturnity. His own ieutenants are in
the dark as to what his plans are. The
men express implicit confidence in Swee-
ney.
When asked if he took courage from the
striking of the Western New York and
Pennsylvanis men yesterday and of the
Lackawanna to- day, Mr.. Sweeney replied:
1T does not alter the situation materially.
did not order them out. They went out
of their own will. I did not want them
prove a success"

the Buffalo lodge, one of the leaders of the
switchmen, was arrested today, charged
by the Lehigh Valley road officials, with

pocket. He furnished bail and was re-
leased. This afternoon Thomas Manabar,

ing stones at two non-union men working
in the Tiff arm yard. Lieutenant Austin

His condition is extremely critical. Madi-
gan, Dunn, O'Laughliu, and Cotter were

ELMIRA, N. Y, Aug. 23.-The crews on
