That is What the CentraTs Officers Say
4 About It.
The strike Of the operators Is about over.
From all information obtained yesterday,
1t is apparent that the railroad has the best
Of thematter. The trains, both freight and
passenger, are running regularly and on
time.
Mr.. Tobie, the chief of the operators, is
| still In Savannah, and will remain here
awhile longer. He expresses the belief that
| the railroad will, sooner or later, make
terms with the men.
The railroad authorities have another
story to tell and they have documentary
| evidence to prove their side of the case IL
was ascertained aG the railroad offices late
yesterday afternoon that so far as tho road
was concerned there was nothing new to be
given out. 1t was also stated that every
division of the system has a sufficient num-
Der of operators to run the road without
trouble. The Central railroad is practically
done with the strike to-day. According to
the statements Of the officials every division
is plentifully supplied with operators
The following dispatch received at Mr..
WadleYs Office, would Indicate that affairs
are very good for the railroad.
ROME. Dec. 10, 1892
My division was entirely cleared of trouble
last night. Everything is now moving smoothly.
All agencies have been filed aud business is
being handled as heretofore. Both freight and
passenger on the Chattanooga division are in
first-claSs condition and freight is being moved
without delay. 7. G. MCNEELY.
It was said also that every division was
now supplied with operators sufficient to
conduct the business except between Co
lumbus and Montgomery The transfers
were being rapidly made yesterday, and it
was expected that a report would be re-
oeived to-day that everything was open. Mr..
Curran has charge of that division aud his
report indicates that everything will be all
right by to-day. 1t is fact that no more
ssp to Mr. for WRs Positions are n 6s0S
because enough men have been employed to
run the trains BY telegraph. The railroad
Is, then, in position to do all the business
that 1t did before the strike and, according
to the statements of the officials, has not been
crippled to any serious extent since the strike
was inaugurated.
The trains on the main stem Of the Gem
trail, both freight and passenger, are going
out and coming in very regularly. The
officials say that they cannot be further
troubled and that all trains will
run as usual. and it appears that what they
say is true. 1t may be said, then, that the
strike Is at an end. The telegraphers' COM
mittee remain in Savannah, but there Is
nothing now for them to accomplish.
Mr.. Wadley and Mr. Epperson are ex-
pected back in Savannah to-day or to-mor-
row. Their return will indicate more than
anything else that the strike is at an end.
Yesterdays Macon Telegraph says From
what can be seen and heard the visit of
Messrs. Wadley and Conner to Macon and
their conferences with Judge Speer brought
forth no change in affairs bet ween the Gem
trail railroad and the telegraphers.
It Is positively known that both Messrs
Conner and Wadley and also the operators
have held audience with Judge Speer, and
what is puzzling to the public is that both
sides seem sanguine and buoyant after hav-
ing done so, What was said and done at
the conferences has not, and perhaps will
not, be made public.
