THE CENTRAL MEN STRIFE.
Arbitration Efforts FAN and the Switch

Arbitration Efforts FAN and the Switch
men Finally Go Out.
BUFFALO. Aug. 16.-There were no indI-
cations this morning OF a strike on the
Central. 1t is known that committee Of
switchmen was sent to Superintendent
Burrows of the Central, however. yester-
day, for a conference. Mr. Burrows was
cut on the road. but the statement of the
men WAS forwarded TO him. A reply was
received, but IL gave the men no satisfac-
ton.
Third Vce-President Walter Webb Of the
New York Central is in the city, having
been called here by the gravity of the situa-
tiOn and the possibility Of his great four
track road being affected. In conversation
Mr.. Webb said: 1.-The strike has not
extended to our read, and we are not
aware that any of our men are anxious to
join In the strike. The only danger we
have felt is I at our men might be forced
from their posts by other strikers. From
what | learn 1 think the sWitchmen would
have been driven from their posts last light,
had 1t not BEEN for the calling ont of the
military. All We ask is protection from
outside violence"
There is a rumor that the New York Gen.
tral men were going out at midnight, but i
cannot yet BE- confirmed. The conference
between the State Board of Arbitration aud
the switcbmen lasted until midnight. At
that hour mysterious meeting OF brake
men and sWltchmen WAS held, and TumOTs
. were rife the strike would extend.
BUFFALO, Aug. 17-At O'Clock the Gen.
tral Railroad 5witchmen abandoned all work
In the treghtyaTds. This adds reinforce
ments 10 the Lehigh-Ere strikers. A po-
lice escort was sent out to bring in the Lake
Shore train due here at 40 O'Clock A. NJ.
The switch-teuders in the Central passen-
ger-yaTd and the trainhands are included in
the strike. This means that not man in
the CentraPs employ as switchman is at
work.
BUFFALO. \. Y, Aug. 17-2 A. M.-The
West Shore men will 20 out tonight, and
the Buffalo. Rochester and Pittsburg men
have already gone out. despite the fact that
their terms were scceded to. At this hour
the fremen are housing the engines in the
roundbouses, and all hands are idle in the
yards. There has been no disturbance TO-
night, but every tganmaa seems determined
on his course CT action. The strikers say
this does not measure the possible extent Of
the strike.
The strike was ordered by tie Switch
mems Union, and is the result Of the
trouble on the Erie and Lehgh roads. An
enormous amount of traffic will be
tied up by the strike, as ii will no
doubt involve the West Shore and Lake
Shore roads, and perhaps all other lines in
Buffalo. The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western switehmen will probably not re-
main long at work handling freight from
the lines named. The strike is extending.
and may be far-Teaching In it's conse-
ouences and disastrous TO the business
community.
3, Plenty of troops will be massed here by
daylight this morning. One switehman
said that the switchmeD on the West Shore
road would go out tonight and those on
other roads would oe sure 10 follow in due
time. The Lake Shore men will go out il
asked to handle freight from any Of the
ued-up roads
