 WHAT MIR. HARDY SAYS.
 An AGE- HERALD reporter saw MT. J. c. Hardy last night on engine No. 319 in the Louisville and Nashville yards, and when asked regarding the reported strike, said: "Of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire. men there is no strike. A man who gets upon an engine simply because brother hood man, through sympathy, had gotten down of it is not a scab, nor can he be considered such, for there is no strike among the Brotherhood of Locomotive t'iremen. Some rumors have gotten out that firemen who have been promoted be- cause of engineers quitting are scabbing. That is not so, because the engineers have not yet ordered any strike. Some of the men who have gone out did so because they were American Railway union men and not through sympathy: I am secretary of the local lodge, No. 339, and know what am talking about.''
