Buffalo, Aug 21.-A railroad man. who is in
IN unusually good position to know, said this
morning that ne had heard practically from head
quarters that inside Of twenty-four hours the
Lake Shore and Nickel Plate roads would be
ted-up between here and Chicego by strike Of the
switchmen all along the line. The men have not
gene out at this hour, 10 80 p m.
There is a queer state of affairs on the Lacka-
manrA road. That road has to-day accepted
freight from the Nickel Plate and Lake Shore.
What is more il has done so without strike
because Grand Master Sweeney, of the switch
men, gave the Lackawsnna switchmen permission
10 handle freight from ted-up roads. This was
because the Iackawanna had always been on very
good terms win its men, and had granted their
request for raise in pay recently. The switch
men the Lake Shore and Nickel Plate, WHO
were not allowed to handle freight from tied-up
roads, are angry at this order of Sweeneys, and
are trying 10 get the Lackawanna men to go
out anyway.
To-days incidents here help TO prove the cor
rectness of the prophecy made in The Tribune
yesterday that the 1renen and traiAmen VIII
not strike, and that the backbone of the trouoe
is broken Not only was there no spread OF the
strike to-day, but a member Of the Brotherhood
of Fremcn, VINO is high in authority, SAID that the
matter Of a strike had not been officially con-
sidered at all by his order. I'VE have no
grievances" said he, "and rs the men are gem
orally well satisfied, / do not consider Il strike
at all probable unless tile engineers should 20
out, which is not expected in the least. we
have had no trouble since the quincy strive,
when our men went out because the engineers
did so There may be some sympathizers on the
Erie and Lehigh who will go ont on their own
telling the reporters that the tremen are
anxious to Quit woik. How future develop
ments NAV affect affairs l do not know.
The dispatches from Terrc Haute, Ind. from
Grand Master Sargent, correctly express the feel
ings of the order"
will Mr.. Sargent come on TO Buffalo,
81 do not believe he will. i have received
no word from him leading me to think he con-
s.ders it at all necessary to come"
