Heard-No Strike.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Companys
freight handlers in Jersey City were all at
work as usual yesterday in the yards and on
the piers. They have apparently concluded to

James Herman wero appointed a committee to
wait on General superintendent +. J.. Shep-
pard and have n conference with him in rela-
ton to the increase OF wages asked for. The
men are getting II cents an hour and they ask
for 20 cents.
Mr. Sheppard received the committee In his
Office yesterday and discussed tho subject with
them fully and freely. The committee argued
that II cents an hour was not enough pay for
tho work. which is very laborious. Mr.. Shep-
pard told them that It was n question which
could only be settled by tho directors OF tho
company He personally could not grant tho
increase, but he would lay tho matter before
the directors. Owing to the unsettled cond-
ton OF affairs on tho New York side. Mr. Shep-
pard could not promise that 1t would be con-
hdered at once but he would do all he could to
hurry II along. Mr.. Sheppard asked the com
mittec to convey his thanks to the men for the
course thoy pursued on Wednesday and assure
The com mittee was entirely satisfied with the
interview.
There IS scarcely any danger OF a strike now,
although the New DIRK strikers are still urging
the jersey City men to quit work unless their
wages are increased. II was said that com

his opposition to the strike and keep his hands
