BUFFALO, Aug. 20.-The shaking into
place of 5000 soldiers is the most promi.
nent surface movement today in the
strike field. General Doyle has COM
pleted the ASST gnment of all the troops,
and under clear sky the men are
being distributed to the points indicated
in the prepared schedule.
c. A. Beach, trainmaster of the New
York Central at Syracuse, has been sent
for to take charge of the companY's
East Buffalo yards, The trainmaster,
Thomas Maloney, who has been acting
As general y yardmaster, was assigned to
the charge of the Ohio street yards,
through which the lake freight passes.
Mr.. Maloney has his hands full there
handling the large amount of freight
that passes through there. From the
report made by Assistant Superintend-
ent Roster he has been caring for it in
good shape.
The Lehigh Valley has plenty of men
to work in their yards, but little was
done in the way of sending out freight
One train was sent to Suspension Bridge
and two trains were sent out during the
afternoon to Hornellsville. The crews
were to bring back two westbound
trains,
Freight Trains Running Once More.
I'VE have not been making much ef-
fort to shove freight out, " said Chief
Clerk Smith, because of the fact that
there is no room for the cars down the
road. Today we made several trips to
the lake freight house and relieved it of
ing up the cars in the yards into trains
and getting them ready to move as soon
as we can make room at Sayre. When
we get that room the cars will fly as if
nothing had happened. We have eight
engines manned and ready to work as
soon as the word comes"
The New York Central is moving
freight in good shape. Assistant Super
intendent Roster stated that thirteen
trains had been sent out up to late in the
afternoon and more will go out tonight.
"The principal work we are doing, said
he, ris to care for all of our live stock
and perishable freight That is being
finely cared for and our grain and dead
freight is being promptly moved. At
Ohio street we are working as if nothing
had happened and with full crews. No
attempt is being made to work the Black
Rock yard.
The Erie Road in Good Shape.
Superintendent Brum, of the Erie,
was busy at the wires when reporter
called. I'VE have 10 engines at work
with III men, said he, "and tonight we
will have 1876 men, more than enough to
do the yard work. We took three trains
Of grain from Ohio street and sent out
five trains. Our men spent the most of
their time today Strengthening up the
yards and picking up the links and pins
removed by the strikers. The yards are
now in very good shape"
The work trains which have been en-
gagged in ballasting the Erie yards begin
duty again and will today run without
interruption. The strikers who went to
Alden few days ago cleared a string of
gravel cars on the main siding of all its
pins, but did not interfere with about
seventy-tive cars which lay in the gravel
pit.
II have no fear of the trouble with
the gravel trains" said Roadmaster
Heisler today, "and will continue to
rush the work of ballasting. The switch
men have never handled these trains"
The Buffalo Creek continues on the
fence and yesterday no attempt was
made to move any freight on the tracks.
There was nothing startling occurring
on the line.
The Strike May Spread.
Unquestionably Master Workman
Sweeny is moving with all his power of
persuasion upon the allied occupations
in service among switchmen. 1t is be-
lieved by the strikers nearest to official
sources that at least the switchmen at
all other points on the affected roads
will be ordered out before the battle
shall have been given up by the leaders.
Indeed, certain of the men now here
firmly believed that the Lehigh and Erie
yards in Jersey City would have been
tied up at midni ght last night. Possibly
this movement was held in abeyance
pending the action of the firemen and
trainmen.
