New-York tribune., 1892-08-19

will probably he frs; called. 1t is we'll to re-
member in weighing the claims and statements
of the strikers that this movement unlike tha'
| of two years ago upon the Central bears the
stamp Of Official regularity.
| THE CENTRAL MOVING TRAINS.
As TO the condition Of the tied-up roads in TINS
city, their officials make statements strongly con-
| tradictng the claims Of the men, that the ROADS
as to their freight traffic paralyzed. So far
~ the New-York Central is concerned, the strikers
are in error. That road Is moving freight. not in
a dcsultory way, few cars at time but in
| trains. Thus to-day the Central between Z a.
m. and 4I5 D. m, delivered TO the Lake Shore
| s3 cars Il took from the delivery tracks OF the
Lake Shore all that road had to offer, and tonight
there are seven clear Central tracks waiting for
Lake Shore freight. At the Ohost elevator and
! freight house. where lake freight is handled, the
Central to-day loaded out seventy cars OF
| merchandise and seventy-fve cars Of grain. These
| cars we're then moved from Ohio-st. through the
city to the yards at East Buffalo II Is tonight
asserted by Central officials that their freight
traffic, in and out Of the East Buffalo yards Is
going forward without interruption. Beginning
tomorrow morning, the Central will resume work
at the Black Rock and Ere-st yards. The Of
icias feel that they reckon conservativey that
by Monday the freight business in their yards
will be moving normally. 1t should he borne
in mind that no night work In the yards has
| yet been done, and the company does not expect
10 resume night work until the incoming troops
have been 80 placed as to afford protection to
| the who waiting In the yards to
| begin work This, it is believed, will not be
| later than Saturday evening.
| Efforts had been made since the beginning Of
the strike to have the Nickel Plate handle some
Of the Lehighs freight, and the men had steadily
| refused TO move car Of it. This afternoon at
| about o'clock q string Of the Lehigh's freight
cars was upon the Nickel Plate track at the
Exist. crossing II was run in by Lchigh en-
ginc and crew, and after they had gone away 1t
STAYED there The Nickel Plate switchmen would
| not lift finger to move the Lehigh's stuff, and
when compulsion was tried, they struck. At
o'clock every swtchman Of the Nickel Plate
within the city limits stopped work. That means
an addition of about ninety men 10 the forces OF
the strikers, and leaves only three roads that
have yards in the city unaffected
