New York, April s.-Neither en-
ployers nor employed have made de-
cisive movements in the wage dis
pute that may terminate with n strike
on the Central railroad of New Jer-
sey. 1t is expected that the men will
confer within the next "a hours, and
by vote agree upon a plan of action.
1t is difficult to take the measure of
the sentiment of the moving army Of
men that a railway system employs.
but as far as it can be sounded on
the Central, the men seemed moved
by a spirit of conservatism, and to
be inclined to refrain from striking
until every resource of conference
and arbitration has been exhausted.

Warren, vice-president of the COM

this statement: "The chiefs evidently

roads TO close their general Offices
