rear brakeman, got off the train and stood
beside the track The Lehigh cars were
detached and run on a siding, when the
/ Central men then resumed their places
and took their train out. The Phillipsburg

communicate at once with President Will
/ bur and urge him to accede to the demands
Of the men.
