is a fortunate thing that no lives have
been lost except by accident In 1877
we had no Lehigh Valley with its Tiff
farm and trestle, no concentration of
freight Mt East Buffalo, no lIackawanna,
no Lake Shore, no Nicllle Plate and
Rochester and Pittsburg to protect. We
had not one.tenth part of the railroad
facilities we have now. The fight was
confined to the Central and Erie and there
was no derailing of trains or burning Of
| property. But, mind you, | don't say
that this was all done by the strikers
| There are toughs from the outside who
at n time like this come bent on mischief
and it is all credited TO the men on
strike"
GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS AGAIN.
"All passengers trains on the Erie
are running on time" said Chief Train
Dispatcher Fitzgerald to an Associated
Press correspondent this morning. eve
have this morning also started the
freight trains eastward and hope to get
out four or five more during the day.
No disturbance has occurred this morn
ing and none is looked for. The yards of
the company are pretty well controlled
by militia. No attempt was made to
do any work last night and none will
be made for two or three nights. We
are working in the yards this morning
and there is no reason now apparent
why we should not be doing full
amount of business i'll the course of two
or three days" Mr.. Fitzgerald said
further that 25 cars of grain had already
been loaded this morning at the com
pany's elevator, near Ohio street, and a
request for another train of grain cars
had Just been made. 1t thus looked us
if u very good days business would be
done at the elevator.
