CLEVELAND, July 1.-THE beginning
of the end seems to have dawned The
tie-up in the C. & =. al | Lake Shore
yards is relieved and trains are being
made up and sent out of these two rep
resentative yards.
AS far as Cleveland is concerned, the
great railroad strike is practically
over. This morning will probably see
every yard fully manned and trains
running as usual. The chairmen of the
local lodges of railway trainmen and
firemen were in consultation with Su-
perintendent Higgins. of the Big Four,
yesterday afternoon and utterly repudi-
ated the strike They assured Higgins
that the men had no grievance and We're
ready to return to work at once. They
will go to work this morning The
situation of affairs is about the same
in the other yards. The only strikers
who are not ready to go back to work
are the switchme~ and there are signs
of weakening in cir ranks. AT Col
linwood the crisis has been passed and
there will be no strike. Trains are
coming and going on all roads and the
blockade is broken.
The local freight on the Nickel Plate
made it's way out of the city Tuesday
morning without any difficulty. 1t was
made up of nine cars. The train was
manned by the old crew.
TOLEDO, July 11.-Strikers on the
Wheeling & Lake Erie and the Ohio
Central railroads have telegraphed
Debs for permission to go back to work,
as they have no grievance and think it
| foolishness to remain out. The Wheel
ing men received an answer from Debs
| telling them that he had called meet
| ing of the advisory board and would no
| tify them later. If there is no change
in the situation General Manager Blair
| says he will issue orders shutting down
| the road.

LANCASTER, July 11.-Although there
is no strike at this point, A. R. U. men
and crowd of women stoned the crew
of local freight which President
Waite, of the Columbus, Hooking VAL
ley & Toledo railway, had sent out
Monday night to raise the blockade of
the past week, and having driven the
men under cover, stole all the links and
pins, leaving the train helpless. The
sheriff, having been applied to, took
several policemen and, making up the
train with links and pins borrowed
from the C. & NJ. V. railroad, escorted
it out of town. One trainnan was
struck in the side and bystander hit
on the head by flying missiles. A
through freight Tuesday morning was
unmolested and the regular traffic will
probably be resumed with new crews
under police protection.

wages several months. A restoration
of wages was promised by the company
