IWe shall aid them in any way the
officers may suggest. We are not
thugs, but well disposed people, who
want TO gain their ends BY. peaceable
and not riotous means. The Buffalo
members are too well known TO do any
overt acts and to be apprehended."
"Do you look for success In this
switchmen's association movements"
II "Iexpect 1t will succeed, was the re-
1--WE will succeed in the.proper way
too, by not working and letting the
roads learn by experience that they can
not get competent men to fill our
places"
THE coMPASY's SIDE.
Vice President Webb, Of the New
York Central, said:
"The situation resolves into this: We
can run this road now this minute with
the men we have at our disposal II We
can guarantee them sure protection in
tho discharge OF their duties. Thestate
OF New York must do that at once. We
are in no trouble whatever for men. All
we want is soldiers to prevent the men
being killed or injured at their posts.
As soon as there are soldiers enough We
will have switchmen and other help IN
abundance. The New York Central, as
said, will run its road its own way. ="
"You don't consider tho present mill
itary force equal to the situation2 2"
mo, do not. More soldiers are re-
quircd to assure the men whom We ex-
pect to put at work absolute safety"
Have you had any intimation that
the firemen on your road intend to
striker"
mo, have not. ] am not looking
for ANYTHING Of that kind."
"Have you been waited on by Grand
Master Sergeant, Of the therhood, or
by the committee?"
mo, have not"
TIE TROOPS.
Although the troops are more COM
Portable to-day than yesterday. they
pre complaining bitterly because the
railroads do not send passenger coaches
out for shelter. They are forced to lie
down on the ground, and not having
sufficient blankets, it is very hazardous
to health. General Doyle said this
forenoon: eve are making all possi-
BILE provision for shelter. Alarge num-
ber of tents have been ordered from
New York and we expect them to-day"
It was u busy day for General Doyle
and his staff, for the arriving troops
had to be placed to the best advantage.
When all was done, the railroad pro-
perty that might be ieopardized by the
rioters was thoroughly patrolled and
protected. The blue coats and gleam-
ing bayonets Of the soldiers could be
seen everywhere.
The strike on tie Central has increas-
ed the work of'the military as its pro-
perty has also to be guarded.
A strong guard now keeps Queen
street closed from the Lackawanna
trestle north. The loafers who used to
congregate on the trestle over the
heads ofthe soldiers have been driven
of, and It is tonight occupied by the
signal corps of the Seyenty-fourth, who
are employed in transmitting orders
to and from headquarters from the high
point Of vantage.
NO CARS MOVED.
All day long the Buffalo creek roao
did not move car. The Lehigh people
would not attempt any work because
they said, there was protection enough
on the ground. There had been no, as
saults or disturbances there % yet.
But they knew If work should be at
tempted there would be trouble with
the strikers at once.
The Lehigh yardmaster said to-mor-
row morning men were TO 60 to work
in the switchmen's places, a full com-
pany OF the military was sent to the
Iehigh yards tonight.
Tonight the Buffalo, Rochester and
Pittsburgh trains are run regularly.
The companies will put in operation
tomorrow device for the protection
of men making up trains. Flat or gon.
dola cars are being prepared
with fixed benches running length
wise the cars. These benches will
be occupied by sharp-shooters well
armed and on each OF these cars to be
hooked to the cow.catcher or buffer Of
each switching engine. Thus the
crews viii be constantly under ready
guard,
