New York. May 1.-Chairman Dele
hanty Of the state hoard of mediation and
arbitration had conference with Arthur
W. Watt. superintendent of motive DOW
tr OF the New York Central railroad, on
the final demand made by the strikers at
Buffalo. Nothing definite was arrived Mt,
Mr.. Dclehanty left the Grand Central
depot without telling anything about the
talk he had with Mr.. Watt
According to tho New York Sun Mr.,
Naitt indicated after the meeting that
the railroad would make no concession.
He said that he thought the final de-
mand' was IL bluff and that the compa
ny did not fear any serious trouble. The
strike, Mr.. Watt also said had incon-
venienced the road but little The strik-
ers had prevented the repairing of a few
cars at Buffalo, but the company had
plenty of cars and was handling its
freight and passengers as usual. The
Sun continues:
Along the line of the New York Cen
trail railroad at Albany. Syracuse, Pough-
keepsic, Utica and Rochester the employ
eos of the motive power departments
of the railroad. without whose assistance
a general strike could not be effective,
declared that the strikers could not get
any 5000" men to go out. The railroad
men who had no intention of striking de-
scribcd the talk about 10000 men as
wild. The railroad men in most yards
along the line, the motive power men de-
clarcd, were not organized, and the strike
would therefore be Ineffective. The cngi-
necrs and iircmcn could strike in sympa
thy. but it was said in this city that those
employees would not go out for anybody
unless after most careful consideration
and by the proper authority from their
organization"
