regarded by those in sympathy with
the strikers as high crime. Any sa-
loon man or innkeeper who undertakes
to increase his revenue by catering to
either members of the militia or the
non-union strangers has the assurance
OF boycott from all organized laboring
men. MIR. Orther, the Black Rock sa-
loonkeeper who was said to have fur
nished dinner to the new men from the
Central yard. has repented, if the cir
cumstances are as stated.
Today he not only refused to give
them any food, but ordered the gang
that had been brought to his place un-
der squad of soldiers to get out, say
ing II amt feeding scabs." He otter
wards told some of the soldiers that he
was willing that they should eat at his
table. The forces in the neighbOrhood
of the Lake Shore tracks on Elk street
wanted food this morning, and they
wanted it bad. They are in the midst
OF strong railroad district, and the
sentiment there is strongly in favor of
the strikers. When the militia at
tempted to get something to eat they
were repulsed at many doors. even
though they offered to pay for the food.
Feasting on Pies.
One of the grocers in the neighbor-
hood became almost speechless yester-
day when man in uniform rushed into
his store and asked if he had any pies.
YES was the answer. "Give me 200
of them" "Give you 200? Why man,
| don't have 200 pies in month. All 1
have got is about half dozen you see
in the case. The women here don't
care for store pies. They want to make
their own pastry. Fll buy the pie
mans whole stock when he comes if
you say so.''' He said so, and the pies
formed a portion of the bill of fare.
The Tenth battalion. of Albany, is
ABOUT as lucky as any militia in the city.
They. were placed in the old New York
Central shops on Seneca street, near
jefferson street, and by clearing the
house of cars were given good quarters.
quarters, temporary hunks with mat
tresses from the Wagner cars being
used for the officers and in the
hospital. The main building was
given up the men, and straw was laid
over the floor to give them something
approaching softneSS to rest on, their
haversacks being used for pillows.
Temporary mess tables were built
around the house, where the men off
duty read the papers and write letters.
Permission had been given the company
by Gen. McGrath to provide its subsist-
ence, and one room was given up to the
cemmissary department. Several stoves
were set up, and coffee was cooked and
rations were sent out in camp slyle.
4 The Military View.
. The chief military officials now locat-
ed here are tonight satisfied that the
calling to Buffalo of over half of the
national guard of the state was wise
and necessary. move. Adjt. Gen.
Porter, with Gen. Doyle and other
officers, made tour of all the military
camps today, and their observations re-
suited in the conclusion that the force
here, considering the great amount of
territory to be covered and the vast
amount of property that has to be guard
ed, was not excessive. Not only this,
but a doubt was left in the hands of all
the party whether the summOning of
more troops would not be necessary.
Gen. Porter talked with the COM
mandiEg and subordinate officers at all
the posts he visited. All made comfort
ing reports of the condition of their
men, said that the food supply was now
satisfactory, and stated that very little
trouble from strikers or their sylnpa-
thizers had been experienced. Nearly

to them was fully as much as they could
care for. Others went farther and said
that they could make good use of more
men. At the end of his days inveStiga-
tionS, Gen. Porter stated that he was de-
cldedly of opinion that there was need
fer all the troops that had been called
upon. He shook his head when asked
how long the troops would remain here.
Gen: Doyle, when asked if he thought
there were enough troops here, said the
fact that he had today ordered an extra
company of militia from HOrnellsville
was sufficient evidence that he did not
think so.
The Firemen Masters.
.tThe fremen have the whole thing in
their hands," said a railroad man. eff
they go out you will see the greatest
strike the world ever knew. 1t will not
be confined to freight trains alone, but
passenger trains will be involved.
When the firemen 60 out the engineers
are practically out too. Chief Engineer
Arthur does not believe in strikes, but
he will not allow his men to go on the
road with green firemen. When they
strike the roads are tied up. They can
win fight without the aid Of the engi-
neers or switchmen.
'The firemen are very we'll organized.
but they are slow TO go out, and, really,
I am doubtful about the report that
they are going to strike. They are too
well paid. They have no grievance of
their own. They have good places.
which they will be 10th to throw up. 1t
is not generally their policy to enter a
sympathy strike. You may be sure that
the firemen will not go into this thing
ill-advised. But should they do so
all along lhe line look at the
result. Passenger and freight business
Will be nearly or entirely stopped. Busi-
ness houses will suffer because goods
will not be shipped. People away from
home will have trouble in getting back;
others will have to stay at home.
