The Evening World' reporter saw the
Chicago limited draw out of Jersey City
on time at 1913 o'c.ock this morning with
1--WE Pullmans attached, and each car
nearly nlled with passengers. They were
mostly commercial travellers. although
there were two parties of actors and ac-
| tresses on board.
The Pullman agent said that the strike
did not seem to scare of the male
patrons of the sleepers. but there
was scarcity Of women since the strike
began to assume alarming proportions.
The ticket superintendent said: There

wished for the success of the strike or
not
Some of them talked long enough to

dering the Federal troops to the scene
Of action, and one switchman In the
Erie yard, who seemed to be a leader
among his fellows. declared himself as
follows:
"lf anything would induce the men
IN the East to Join their brethren In the
West, 1t would be that action OF the
President. 1T strikes us fellows that

IFS, State militia and Federal troops, the

hest or capital, the sooner the people
show their strength the better"
All the men declared that so far there
was no sign of trouble in their vicinity
and no intimation on their part yet of
going out on II sympathetic strike.
For several days representative of
the American Railway Union has been

large number of the men of both roads
were seen by an Evening World" re-
porter to-day and they said that 1t
would be next to an impossibility for

IT the employees of the roads went out
at lunalo II might result In a strike
purely on the grounds Of sympathy at
this end. The men appear satisfied and
value their positions too highly to run
any risks.
The trains on the New York Central
are running on schedule time.
General Supt Van E.tten saii he did
noi look for any trouble at Buffalo. He
Debs for strike tonight would be
obeyed from the fact that he had very
few followers there.
He did not think the accident at Yon-
kers yesterday was caused by men in
sym0athv with the Western strikers
General Manager Toucev expressed sim
liar views and was anxious to wager
that no strike would occur at Buffalo
on the West Shore road the Chicago
EXPRESS train arrived this morning with
bur one express package from Chicago.
General Manager Layng said he had
despatch from the Big Four road of
