Enthusiasm In the East.
So far as can be learned, no action
has a yet been taken by any New York
labor organizations looking to active par
ticipation in the great strike.
The representatives OF the American
Railway Union, who have been here for
week or more, have had exceedingly
poor success in their efforts to gain sup
porters. There is TO desire for strike
in this city, and there will be none unless
The men feel themselves compelled to go
out in order to keep faith with their fell
low-unionists who have struck in the
West.
