Buffalo dispatches last night stated that the
striking switehmen no longer deny that the
roads are moving considerable freight. Since
the resumption Of work Saturday morning the
Central Company has moved more cars than
were generally moved in the same time before
the strike. The crippled condition Of the yards
at Black Rock has been relieved to such an ex-
tent that all embargo western freight Is
practically removed and cars, which have been
held back along the Michigan Central, are
showed across the international bridge in num-
bers which exceed the ordinary movement
Since the first train started for East Buff
falo trains have continued to run over the Belt
Line between the Black Rock and East Buffalo
yards as fast rs they could be made up by the
non-union crews In the fifteen hours preceding
8 O'Clock yesterday afternoon fifteen trains had
been sent eastward from the Black Rock yards
Stock dairy and other perishable freights have
been given the usual preference and have moved
with promptness and dispatch
Busy SCENES ONCE MORE.
Yard engines 3Os. 304 and 49, manned by
from three to four non-union switchmen each,
have been busyswitching cars in theyards between
niagara and Hamilton streets. Engine 152 made
the runs to East Buffalo with the trains rs fast
as they we're made up. About five full trains
Of west bound freight were hauled from East
Buffalo during tire day and were switched out
for delivery 10 the Michigan Central as rapidly
as pos sible without interfering with the movt-
ment Of east-bound merchandise. The Erie
made its first attempt to start freight ont of
Black Rock wards Yesterday MOI ming. 1t was the
first sign OF life which has been manifested in the
ynrtis for six DAYS One train was sent over
in the morning and another in the afternoon.
KEEPING BACK FOOD.
Supplying food or drink to non-uniOn men or
soldiers is not regarded with favor by those in
sympathy with the strikers. Any saloon man or
innkeeper who undertakes to increase his reve-
nue. by catering toeither members OF the militia
or the non-union strangers has the assurance of
a boycott from all organized laboring men.
Ortner. the Black Rock saloonkeeper. who was
said TO have furnished dinner to the new men
from the Central yard. yesterday refused to give
the men any food. The forces in the neighbOr-
hood of the Lake Shore tracks. on Elk street.

il strongly in favor of the strikers. baking
firm were Saturday night baking 5000 loaves Of
bread. 5000 French rolls and 5000 fried cakes
and 700 pics for the soldiers.
GEN. PoRIER's INSPECTION.
Gen. Porter started on sn inspection of the
camps after midday yesterday. He was accom-
panied by Gen. Doyle and escorted by troop
of New York city. All the camps accessible on
horseback we're visited The paymaster's car

try. United States army; Surgeon General Jos
d. Bryant. Maj. Edison j. Weeks and Col. Rounds
of Gen. Doyle's staff and W. E. Niver, local
freight agent Of the Erie.
BADLY SITUATED CAMPS.
The first stop Was made at the Seneca street
crossing Of the Erie. where Col Dowd Of the
twelfth regiment Of New York boarded the
train and, after greeting Gen. Porter, showed
general that all he had to ask was that the ra-
tons be rushed forward. The twelfth is not
located in q very desirable spot and Gen. Por-
ter said later that the twelfth and seventy
fourth regiments were the only regiments
whose camping grounds were not satisfactory.
The seventy-fourth is at the William street sta
ton. where overpowering stenches from the
garbage crematory and the Buffalo fat render
ing establishment make life almost unbearsble.
SOLDIERS VISITED BY THEIR swEErHEARrs
When the party landed at the William street
station they proceeded at an accelerated pace
through an atmosphere Of sickening smells to
the camp Of the seventy-fourth regiment
After a short talk with Col. Fox, Capt Bush,
speaker Of the assembly, and other officers the
fifth regiment at Dingene street. This camp
presented the most lively spectacle Of any
visited. The tents and the grounds surround
ing them were crowded with women, young
and old, who had come to visit their soldier
friends. The boys were busy entertaining
them, and brass band helped to enliven- the
throns.
The last stop of the party was at the East
Buffalo station of the Erie. where they were
met by Col. Green and other officers of the
seventy-irst regiment Of New York.
