OTHER MEN WON'TGO OUT
THE BUFFALO STRIKE PRETTY
SURE TO END IN DEFEAT.

No Serious Violence Reported Any.
where Along the Line.
BUFFALO, Aug. 23.-Just after midnight
last night number of strikers, or sympa-
thizers, began to throw coupling pins at
squad of soldiers from Company F, Twelfth
regiment. The soldiers were ordered TO
fire If the pin throwing did not stop. 1t
stopped. Capt Murphy aud Lieut.. Morris
arrived on the scene with detachment of
the reserves and made thorough
search through the yards, but could find no
one there. A rumor that a man had been
killed proved not true.
The switohmen on the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western road struck this
afternoon. They have no grievance, This
adds ninety to the list OF trikers.
Fifteen switchmen on the Buffalo, Roohee-
ter and Pittsburg also went out because
asked TO handle freight from strike roads.
GENERAL STRIKE IMPROBABLE.
Grand Masters Clark, OF the conductors
order. and Wilkinson, OF the trainmon's
order, are on their way to Buffalo TO confer
with Grand Master Sweeney. From remarks
made by Chief Sargent, Of the firemens
union, and Chief Clark, 1t Is altogether i'm
probable that the railway men will strike
TO aid the switchmen. Chief Clark said he
knew of no grievances the conductors had,
and unless there were some they would
not go out. They did not care 10 express
any sympathy in that way. he believed
that the swltohmen's demands were just,
and added; but the most deplorable thing
in the affair is that acts of violence were re-
sorted to by some one at the start. This
has probably been the greatest cause for
prolongiug the strike. al otherwise 1t would
probably have been amicably settled.
There were rumors of deadly conflicts be-
tween the soldiers and strikers last night,
but investigation shows that while there
were sporadic cases of disorder and some
firing, nothing serious occurred.
WEBB CONFIDENT.
The railroads continue to get In better
shape. Vice President Webb, Of the Cen
tral, returned to New York last night. He
said: "The strike In my opinion is broken.
Il cannot extend eastward There is slight
chance of Grand Master Sweeney orderin &
O strike to the east, but even that 10 slim
chance. The men acted rAshly and hastily,
prejudicing the railroad companies at the
start. The men have lost, and the sooner
they recognize that fact the better 10 will
be for them. Buffalo is well guarded at
every point. freight is moving everywhere.
and, as far as / can see, there is no room
for strikes or strikers
Many people intBufralo believe the strike
will be declared of when the affiliated rafi-
way organizations refuse to strike out Of
sympathy
Investigation shows that Lackawanna
men to the number OF 125 went out because
they believed certain freight which the
LackawRnna officials insist was ordinary
lake freight was Lehigh railroad freight.
The board OF meditation and arbitration
has decided to begin It's inyesttg atiop
of the switchmen's strike Tomorrow, and
the summoning Of witnesses has already be-
gun.
