endorsements to Buffalo.
THE LAKE SHORE MEN STOP WORK

Is quiet nj Present, but the situation h
Critical--A Soldier Accidentally killed.
BUFFALO, Aug. ls.-The situation in Buf,
falo is extremely grave. While the day has
passed without any conflict between the
militia and the strikers, it is realized thatit
would require but the shadow Of an excuse
to precipitate o riot. The strikers are
angry at the calling out Of the troops and
they are angry at the militiamen for COM
ing out when they were called. They take
every opportunity TO harass them, without
resorting to sufficient violence to warrant
an attack by the soldiers. How long they
will keep within the bounds is a question.
At a conference, at which were pres
ent Sheriff Beck, Mayor Bishop Brigadier
General Doyle and Superintendent Of Police
Morganstern, representing the civic authori-
ties, and ii. s. Walter Webb, ex-Sena-
tor Daniel II. Mcmillan. Wilson S. Bissen
and E. Carlton sprague, on behalf Of the
railroads, it was decided to issue a call for
the entire state National guard. Several
prominent citizens were also present.
1t was with the greatest reluctance that
Sheriff Beck and Niy0r Bishop finally gave
their consent to appeal 10 Governor Flower
to call ont the entire Natlohalguard
The Governor has responded, and the
Twelfth and Twenty-second regiments,
Tenth battalion and Sixth separate com
pany start at once for Buffalo on special
trains and others will follow as the adjutant
general directs.
Previous to this conference Mr. Webb
wired Governor Flower requesting him 10
call out the National guard, but tho gov-
ernor replied that he could only do 80 on
reques, OF the proper civil authorities.
The Lake shore Men Out.
The Lake shore men have been called out
and IL is asserted by both sides that the
strike will spread still further. Grand Mas
tor Sweeney declared that II he found that
the men were losing he would call out every
switchman west of here TO Chicago, but the
calling out Of the switchmen west is not
feared 30 much as that the trouble will
spread right here and that the switohmen
will be Joined by the iiremen and brake
men and possibly the engineers.
The organizations of nearly all these men
sympathize with the switchmen. Il is
stated, on what is said to be good authority,
that the hremen are almost on the point of
strikinA and that a request from the Switch
F.remens union 70 its members TO quit work.
II the hremen should quit the engineers,
while they might not strike, would refuse
TO work with green men as assistants, and
that would certainly mean a tieup.
The Roads Won't Arbitrate.
The state board of arbitration, IL is
learned, has failed TO do anything at all 90
ward having the dispute between the
nffll-ora tho niaa 40
bitration. The board held a secret meet
ing, which Grand Master Switchmar
Sweeney and fifteen Of the strikers attend
ed. They submitted their side OF the dis
pute to Mr.. Donovan ut length, and for
mally declared That they We're willing I,
agree 20 the whole dispute being settled by
arbitration. They agree 70 stand by am
decision that might be made.
Then the members Of the board issued Ia
vitations to all the officials Of the railroads
involved TO come and state their side of the
case, and TO agrea also 10 have the matter
submitted TO arbitration.
Without a single exception the RAILROAD
men sent their excuses for not accepting
the invitation, and added their refusals Z,
turn their business over TO the hands OF am
board of arbitration.
Grand Master Sweeney, OF the switch
men, is said 10 have stated his belief tina
the cars burned two nights ago were aban
doned hullxs, and limited that the railroad
had set fire TO them. He said: "That burn
ing set the citizens against the switchmen
who had all their sympathy before. Thos
were the most profitable bonlres l eve
heard Of, and they did not cost anybody
cent. unless the county is foolish enough {
pay for them. We can furnish evidenc
that they were abandoned and valuelef
old cars
The Engineers Anxious.
Grand Master Wilkinson, Of Galesburr
Ills, reached the city, aud after registerin
at the New Continental hotel left at ono
for the meeting Of his organization. On hi
return 10 the hotel he said to United Pre-.
reporter, II cannot tell you anything bl
cause know nothing
One OF the trainmen was seen later, an
although he would not say anything aboy
what was done at the meeting, brougl
ont the fact that the situation was outline
70 Mr. Wilkinson. He told OF some OF n
reasons why the brotherhood is interestol
Il am an Erie man, said he, ''and we cou
make our usual wages provided we 60 int
the yards and switch our own trains. Tn
we win not do. The trainmen do not i
tend to follow the example OF the men
Chicago a little over year ago, when Il
split occurred between the orders in q
Federation Of Railway Employees. We a
going TO do nothing 10 hamper the switc
men in their hght.n
"Will the trainmon striker
''Not today. Il will take time to NOV
bot haze no donbt we viii have a fling
in the pie within n week il the strike is n
settled before that"
The hremen and engineers are mysterio
and it is stated that Chief Engineer Arthl
Of the Brotherhood Of Locomotive En-
neers, and Grand Master Sergent, Of {
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Firemen, won
be in the city, as their men were affected

which have arisen.
