The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1892-08-23

BUFFALO. n. Y, Aug. 2O.-The Sec
ond week of the railroad strike opened
to-day. Three features are most
prominent this morning. An army of
6, QUO soldiers is quartered in the city
and the county. An attempt, only
partially successful so far, is being
made to lift the freight blockade. and
the danger of a strike Of kindred or
CARNATIONS is no less imminent than
heretofore.
Only thirty trains OF freight were
moved out of the city yesterday by the
roads affected, as compared with the
usual average Of 200 a day. This
would indicate that more than the
protection of the national guard is
needed to enable the several roads to
do business. The real trouble seems
to be the procuring and drilling OF
new men.
Every railroad line in this city-eveu
the Lackawana and the Grand Trunk
roads, which have not so far been at
fected by the strike-is under military
protection to-day.
The report was general this morning
the that firemcn of the various lines
in which the switchmen are out would
inaugurate a sympathy strike tonight,
but Superintendent buchanan of the
New York Central motive power de-
partment disclaimcd that he had heard
Of no complaint among his men and
did not fear a walk-out.
Last night Chief Sweeny of the
switchmen submitted a proposal to
arbitrate the switchmen's difficulties
TO all the companies affected. but the
magnates rejected the ovcrtures as I'M
called for. As tacital move the arbi-
tration suggestion is not of avail to the
Buffalo strikers Is they We're defeated
as the case stood this morning. and
unless the strike is extended to switch
men at other cities, or unless allied
workers are called out, no strategy of
putting up the bars behind them will
restore the men to their places
Soldiers Fire ON Rioters.
The first order to fire was given
about midnight last night when the
Seventy-frst regiment guard was
called out to repel some men
who We're. stoning train of
noH-union men The gang was

Were not needed and then the order to

loose on them and they scattered
Another volley was fired and
the men broke and ran I'M
der cover of the darkness.
They We're pursued. but escaped.
A soldier of the Second regiment
challenged man last night and
barred the way, but his bayonet was
not fixed and the man drew 4 knife
and slaShed him across the arm.
John Burns. n cooper. who was in
toxicated. tried to break through the
lines at Washington square at 10
o'clock this morning and received n
bayonct thrust.
The blockade of the Erie at this
place and Waverly was virtually
raised to-day.
The New York Central made sue
cessful effort to-day tn clear up the
yard and rush stock and perishable
freight to East Buffalo.
Price Of Meat Goes Up.
New YORK. Aug. 20.-The strike in
Buffalo has already increased the
price of living in New York. and il it
should become general, famine would
shortly result. Produce men say that
if the trains should be tied up for ten
days food will become scarce. SO de-
penden, is the public here on other
parts of the country. The price of
provisions in this city. Boston. Phila-
delphia and other cities. have already
gone up from to ; cents per pound.

PIrTsBURs. Pa, Aug. eo-Another
strike may take place at Duqucsne
within the next few days. The Car
