months preparing for strike. A vote
taken in the yards week ago resulted
in three-fourths of the men
agreeing TO strike for the ten-hOur sys-
tenn if necessary. The action of last
night was the result Of the ballot. The
company employs about twenty-five
day engines and something over dozen
night engines, each having switching
crew OF three men, besides the engl-
neers aud switchmen, making total OF
about l25 men in switching service In
the yards. This is nearly as many men
as went out in the strike on the Lehtgh
Valley, Erie and Buffalo Creek roads,
taus doubling the number OF men out"
The WeStera New York and Penn
sylyania have not been in the strike
from the start and the situation in the
Erie is unchanged. It's men are still
out. The day force on the Central are
out as well as the night men. The SIT
uation is '5r{ grave on the great four
track thorOughfare this morning. 1t IS
the opening day OF the fair and every
road coming into the Union depot
has from 10 TO Is excur-
sion trains. The strike OF
the switchmen has taken experienced
men out of the depot. Pickup men OF
little or no experience areattempting to
keep the large train shed clear for pas
senger trains this morning.
At one o'clock a partial block had
been formed and trains were held from
ten TO twenty minutes east Of Michigan
street before getting into the depot.
The prospects for this afternoon and
evening, when the large crowd who are
in attendance at the fair propose to re-
turn home is very alarming. The day
shift of West Shore switchmen worked
about an hour this morning; then drop
ped everything right where 1t stood.
Their demands are similar to the de-
mandS OF the Central men. The night
shift without doubt will refuse to work
tonight. Depot Master Fitzgerald, OF
the Crntral, said this morning that he
was making up trains and despatching
them on time. General Manager Hal
stead, OF the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western, has issued imperative or
ders that no freight shall be received
from any of the tied up roads. The or
der also instruCtS agents at all junction
points not to accept any freight that
has been diverted from the Central,
Erie or Lehigh Valley roads. The fast
freight lines are probably the greatest
sufferers by the strike. Thousands of
dollars worth OF perishable goods are
standing on the side tracks of the sew
eral lines and nothing can be done to-
ward forwarding them.

Vice President Webb, Of the New York
Central, said: THE situation resolves IN
TO this-We can run this road now this
minute with the men we have at our dis
pOsal if we can guarantee them protection
iu the discharge of their duties. The
State Of New York must do that at once.
We are in no trouble whatever for men.
All we want is soldiers 10 prevent the men
being killed or injured at their posts. AS
soon as there are soldiers enough, we Will

dance The New York Central, as l said,

Although the troops are more comfort
able to-day than yesterday, they are com
planning bitterly because the railroads do
not send passenger coaches out for shelter.

said this forenoon:

Mono Came, However.
HOMESTEAD, PA, August l7.-Major
Crawford, OF the militia, received in
formation last night that an attack was
TO be made on the mill by strikers this
morning at dawn.
As a result several companies were
kept under arms all night, and shortly
after daylight the entire town was pa
troled by strong detachments. No vio-
lence was offered by any one Although
there seems TO have been no truth in
the report, the utmost vigilance II
maintained by the guards. The
strikers Indignantly deny that an
attack on the Carnegie property was
planned or even thought Of, The feel
ing against the military by the Amalga-
mated men is becoming more bitter
daily. A quantity Of gas was allowed
TO accumulate in one OF the pipes In the
Bessemer furnace this morning. A
non-union man named Cooper did not
know how TO deal with II and caused an
explosion. Cooper's leg was shattered
so badly that amputatlon was neces-
sary. The damage 20 the machinery
was considerable and will take day or
two 10 repair.

The platform after endorsing free silver
says:
WHEREAS, Recent labor troubles at
Homestead and elsewhere have caused
great injustice, and
WHEREAS, This convention desires 10
affirm the Democratic doctrine that all such
disputes should be settled by fair and judi
cial arbitration, therefore b9 it
Resolved, That it Is the duty OF the State
Legislature to establish a proper tribunal
with power to summon defendants before
it, adjust all disputes, and enforce It's
judgments by proper process; that we
pledge the Democrats OF the State OF
Michigan to the establishment OF such
tribunal when laboring men and labor or
ganizations can have fair hearing and
proper redress.

FAIRMoNT, w. VA, August 1.-THE
miners employed at the CASTOR mines,
owned by the Messrs Watson, have re-
fused to join the strike inaugurated at the
Monongah and other mines within the past
two weeks, and it has been one Of the chief
efforts Of the strikers TO induce them TO
leave their work 1t is held by the men at
the CASTOR mines that they had no cause TO
strike aud consequently the efforts OF the
strike leaders 10 induce them 10 join them
have been unavailing.
This morning when the workmen at the
CASTOR mills presented themselves as usual
to begin their labor for the day, they were
met by a deputation Of 100 miners from the
plants that are closed. Although no vio-
ience or threats were offered, this delega-
CATION caused some alarm by the very
earnest manner In which they argued for
a suspension of work. The Castor
miners and the proprietors Of
the mine were annoyed by the persistency
Of the delegation and message was sent
to Sheriff Lynn TO come with deputies Snd
clear the ground and works about the pit
mouth of the intruders.
Sheriff Lynn hastily summoned several
men and went to the mine where, upon his
request, the strikers dispersed without
trouble or disputing his authority.

The Republican Chairman Goes Down to

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 17.-ouite
a stir was caused here to-day by the ap-
pearance OF Tom Carter, Chairman OF
the Republi IAN National Committee.
No one could at first understand what
would bring him here in the absence o.:
the President and all the members OF
the Cabinet except Secretary Of State
Foster and Secretary Of War Elkins.
Ii was soon discovered, however, that
his business was TO see the latter re-
garding the negotiations now going on
TO ,cate the disgruntled Republican
leaders In New York, aud TO stir up
things generally IN the departments
with view to getting free flow OF
money from the clerks TO swell the
somewhat scanty Republican campaign
fund.
Mr. Carter visited nearly all the de-
psrtments and gave it out that II there
was any impression the outlook was not
good for Harrison's reelection, IL was
all wrong. In New York, he declared
for the benefit OF the clerks, everything
was lovely; ex-senator Patt wasn't
sulking AZ all and he was going TO can
vass the State for Harrison. Mr.. Blaine,
too, Carter unblushingly said, would
make several speeches in the State and
the Republican National Committee
were already figuring on majority for
Harrison there OF from 10000 TO $4,000.
Then the Republicans were sure OF
carrying two or three southern States
and all that was needed was plenty OF
money, etc.
1t is said Mr.. Carter gave il out that
the clerks would have 10 stand an
assessment of ten per cent. on their sal
aries for the benefit OF the party, which
hardly bears out his assurances that
everything looks lovely.
