wnKEsBARRE, Pa, Nov. e4.-The 1e-
high Valley Railroad company is slowly
gaining on the strikers today. Enough
applicants have already applied for posi-
tions to fill every vacancy. The great
trouble to the company is that they can
not utilize the labor at its command. Inc
entire service IL demoralized, but the
officials say that it will take only snort
Time to bring order out Of chaos. The In
Aications are that ii will take very long
time One remarkable thing about the
tontest is that while the company is gain
Ing ground the strikers are not losing any,
"A they still maintain firm column.
There have been but few desertions since
khe strike began, and the strikers have
been able to add not n few non-union men
10 their ranks II the strike should col
lapse it would find the strikers still
nnited on the field Of battle, but they
would then be an army without an oc-
supation.
Superint endent Esser's correspondence
from men applying for positions makes
quite stack. The letters are from old
and experienced railroad men, who are
out of work owing to the slack time fol
lowing the closing OF the Worlds fair.
Operators also are applying for positions.
'Hhe scene of war has been transferred to

the New Jersey Central employees, assured
che men that Lehigh Valley freight would
not be moved over their line Mr.. Young
