The vague wording of the section of the amend

yesterday to the story that the supervision OF the
tails hereafter will be vested IN the Commissioner
OF Corrections. The words all jails are dropped
from the clause enumerating the institutions ex-
cepted from the control OF the Commissioner Of
Corrections.

opinion that jails were exempted from the control

LOOKS MORE LIK e A STRIKE
RAILOTING AMONG NEw-JERSEY CEN
TRIAL EMPLOYEES SAID TO BE UN-
FAVORABLE TO PEACE.

EmnIoves of the Central Railroad Of New
Jersey were busy ballotlng yesterday in secret in
Jersey City Wikesbarre and other places. as to
whether not it would be wise to strike So far
as could be ascertained, the balloting was in
favor of a strike, but the result may not be
known for several days. In the opinion of sew
eral men, if a strike is declared it will be soon.
The grand chiefs assert that it was the attitude
of Vice-President Warren that led them to leave
this city. They hope however, that the differ
ences between the men and the company will be
settled without a strike.
If two-thirds vote affirmatvely the employees
will leave their posts soon as the result is
officially declared and the approval of the ma
tional officers given. The situation is critical
one, and hinges entirely the result Of the
remarkable election that is now in progress. 1t
is impossible to make forecast of the result of
the poll.
Among the men there is strong sentiment
both sides. A majority of the local leaders seem
to favor a strike. but they in turn are opposed
by many in the ranks. The men will not discuss
the prospect of strike outside of their meet
ing rooms
1t is generally understood that the ballots will
be collected by the local organizations, and by
them forwarded to the Brotherhood chiefs. Even
If the necessary number Of workers have de-
clared for a strike. there may he a conference
impression has been created that the chiefs
not entirely in accord all of the issues Of the
dispute.
The company is preparing for struggle. Out
side men to take the places of any who walk
out are being assembled at convenient points
along the lines and held in readiness for any
emergency. 1t is evident that If there is strike
the company will make a desperate effort to
keep its trains moving. II has been admitted by
officials of the company that men being
gagged. Speaking for the company yesterday
morning. Vice President Warren said:
We have heard nothing further from the men.
despite our Willingness to treat with them and
far as | know there is nothing We would
regret trouble with our men, for assure you
have no desire TO be other than perfectly fair. I
have no idea what the will decide TO do but
L hope they will be reasonable.
Mr. Warren asked as 10 the proba bity
Of his making an answer TO the letter sent to
him by the chiefs last Saturday. He intimated
that the time for replying to that communica-
ton had passed
