Cohoes, Waterylet and Rensselaer,
are on a strike. The entire sy stem
is tied up and one thousand EN-

working meu. The cause OF the
strike is three grievances. The
men demand complete recognition
Of the Union, aud seven meu dis

rate of wages per hour as paid the
regular men. The strike is detri-

are orderly, patroing the streets,
while every car is tied up and not
a wheel moves.
