STRIKE NOT SETTLED
Difference Between Railroad Terminal
Employees Not Adjusted

New York, N. Y, Aug. 10.--An
attempt made late yesterday to adj
just the differences between six rail-
road companies having terminals in
this city and the crews of the rail
road tugboats operating in New York
harbor, failed. Representatives OF
the Central Railroad Of New Jersey,
the Delaware, Lackawanna & West
.ern, Erie, Baltimore & Ohio. New
York Central and Lehigh Valley rail-
roads, which were most seriously af-
fected by the strike, declined to ac-
cede to the demands ofthe striking
crews for increase in wages of SIS to
$40 per month and declared that
they will fill the places of the
tsirkers.
The movement of the freight from
the terminals in New Jersey and
Staten Island to New York city was
badly crippled and many carloads
were stalled in the yards on the west
bank of the Hudson river. It is
feared that if the strike continues
there will be heavy loss to shippers
of fruits and vegetables and other
perishable freights and cause much
inconvenience to New Workers..
