Grand Master sweeny Says tho Strikers

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 19.-Grand Mas.
ter Sweeny OF the Switchmen's Mutual
Aid Association, says: "Ths idea OF
bringing In 10000 troops is the ranksst
kind of nonsense. There are Just 800
switchmen out and they are q law abid-
ing lot of men who would cheerfully pro-
tect tho company's property IL the COM
panies would pay them for 1t. They do
not want the taxpayers OF Erie county to
pay for watchmen for any corporation or
company.
'It is probably costing Erie county
fully $4,000 for every day that the milf
tia are out and by this new order, IL TO-
600 troops are brought into the county It
will cost $50, 900 q day. The taxpayers
will vince when they come to pay this
bill for which there II not the slightest
necessity"
~ can tell you one thing that the rail-
road companies are doing, and II they

and troops to handle the mob.

perate characters they can And In other
rate of 80 to 100 q day.
1T there 10 blood shed during this
strike, there will be no switchmen killed.
They are not where the fighting will be
done. They are at their homes, most Of
them, and there they will remain, except
such committees and scouts as are neces-
sary to watch the progress of the strike. I
have been informed by our scouts that
the militiamen are assisting in switching
cars and turning switches. II this Is
true, and I believe 1t 10, then Erie county

QUIET IN BUFFALO
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.
NOT A CAR MOVING.


Tho Striking switchmen still Refuse to
Lift Finger.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 19.-Yesterday
afternoon at about 8 o'clock, string OF
the Lehigh railroads freight cars was
run upon the Nickel Plate track at the
Elk street crossing. 1t was run In by
Lehigh railroad engine and crew, and At
ter IL had gone away IL stayed there.
The Nickel Plate switchmen would not
lift q finger to remove the Lshigh's stun,
and when compulsion was tried, they
struck. At 4 O'clock, every switchman
on the Nickel Plate within the city linn
its stopped work. That means an addi-
ton of about 80 men ty the forces OF the
strikers, and leaves only three railroads
that have yards In the city unaffected oy
the strike.
New York Central, In letter to the state
board of arbitration who asked for arbi-
tration Of the existing differences with
the switchmen, says: "The delay In
freight transportation during the past
two days, has not been owing to dissat-
isfaction or strike on the part OF the
company's employees. 1t has simply been
owing to the fact that the properly con-
stituted authorities Of the city and coun-
ty have been unable to furnish protec-
tion to those who are In the company's
service and who sought to continue In
the performance of their duties.
~ am not aware OF any difference or
grievance now existing between this CON-
pany and its employees. 1t seems to me
Inappropriate and unnecessary to consent
to the arbitration you suggest.
There can be no doubt that before
yielding this fight the leaders Will ex-
tend their strike west even to Chicago
and eastward to New York, ultimately
calling out, perhaps, not only switch
men, but firemen and trainmen.
