BUFFALO, N. Y. Aug. 21.-There is dan
ger of fresh trouble on the Buffalo, Roches
ter and Pittsburg railroad. General Super
intendent Bartlett is here and George E
Merchant, assistant to President Yates, il
to arrive during the day. Both men are
| at the Iroquois. If new demands are made
by the men, as expected, all will be dis
| charged and new men put on at the old
rate. On the Western New York and
| Pennsylvania men have refused to handle
Reading cars loaded with coal, and If the
| company insists on their doing so the men
| will go out.
| THE STRIKERS CASE ALMOST WITHOUT HOPE.
The most sanguine OF the striking
switchmen can no longer deny that the
roads are moving freight. Since the re.
sumption of work yesterday morning the
Central company has moved more cars than
| ordinarily, and the prospects of events
arising that would impede farther progress
ia hourly diminishing.
YARDS UNBURDENED OF SURPLUS FREIGHT.
The congested condition of the yards at
Black Rock has been relieved to such an
extent that all embargo on western freight
is practically removed. and cars that have
been held back by the Michigan Central
are being showed across the International
bridge in numbers that exceed the ordina-
~ influx.
Since the first train was started for East
Buffalo at II o'clock yesterday morning
trains have continued to run over the belt
line between Black Rock and East Buffalo
yards as fast as they could be made up by
the non union crews. From ~ o'clock last
night until o'clock this afternoon fifteen
trains have been sent eastward from the
Black Rock yards. Stock dairy products
and other perishable freight have been
given the preference, and have moved with
promptness.
CATCHING UP WITH THE WORK ON ALL THE
ROADS.
The Central, Erie and Lehigh are all
working vigorously at East Buffalo. The
Erie sent six full trains east this morning.
The Central has done trifle better, and
the Lehigh about the same. The soldiers
still patrol all yards in which there has
been trouble, and have bad to deal to day
more with crowds of spectators than with
dissatisfied railroad men.
About five full trains of westbound
freight have been hauled from East Buffalo
during the day, and are being switched
out for delivery to the Michigan Central as
rapidly as possible without inter fering
with the movements of eastbound goods.
ANOTHER YARD MOVES ITS FREIGHT.
The Erie made its first attempt to start
freight out of the Black Rock yards this
morning. 1t was the first sign of life
manifested in these yards since last Mon
day. Only one train was sent over this
morning and another this afternoon.
The Lake Shore is moving some freight
and made several transfers to the Central
this morning.
The Nickel Plate pushed some stock and
refrigerator beef on to the Lackawanna
near Smith street this morning. The
West Shore brought in one train from
Suspension bridge this morning, and two
trains of westbound merchandise routed
over the Michigan Central via Suspension
bridge were hurled out of the yards at
East Buffalo during the day.
COAL AND GRAIN, TOO, MOVED.
Late this afternoon the Central sent a
train of hard coal from East Buffalo to
Black Rock. The movement of coal is
strong evidence that the yards are getting
pretty we'll cleared up, as this is about the
last product that would suffer by delay.
The Erie moved sixty six grain line cars
this morning, besides taking ali Lake
freight that was loaded to the East Buffalo
yards. The LEGAL freight from the Louisi-
| ana street houses is being got out as fast
as it is ready for delivery. Operations at
the yards to-day have been a victory for
the companies.
MR.. DEPEw ON THE STRIKE.
HoMBURG, Aug. 21.-A correspondent
of the Associated Press called to-day upon
Chauncey NJ. Depew for the purpose of
| learning his views regarding the switch
mems strike at Buffalo. Mr.. Depew said
that the strike was a surprise to him, as
WhCA ho 5dAiCO 4Iou 1>0" IoIh oSCIJ 1AAbS
was quiet, and as far as he knew at that
time there was not the slightest sign of i'm
pending trouble. When questioned as to
| the origin or immediate cause of the strike,
| Mr.. Depew said he could not yet venture
| to discuss the subject, but from the in
| formation he had received through the
newspapers and from other sources he
thought that the trouble would be focused
in the Buffalo yards. Although some of
the New York Central men had struck out
| of sympathy with the Lehigh Valley men,
he did not think the strike would spread
further. On the contrary, he believed that
| the trouble would soon be over and that
the roads affected by the strike would in q
few days be conducting business under
normal conditions.
| TALK OF THE FIREMEN GOING OUT.
| BUFFALO. Aug. 21.-"The iremen have
the whole thing in their hands," said a
railroad man to-day. "If they go out you
will see the greatest strike the world ever
knew. 1t will not be confined to freight
trains alone, but passenger trains also will
be involved. When the firemen go out the
engineers are practically out too"
WOMEN ATTEMPT TO SET FIRE TO A FREIGHT
At military headquarters the discovery
of an attempt to set fire to train Of
freight cars was reported by Captain Roe
A sentry saw couple of women climbing
into a freight at Black Rock. He started
in pursuit and the women fled. In the cal
the sentry found basket of shavings, sat
urated with oil, to which match had beer
applied but which failed to burn. Tn
women were not caught.
