centage OF IL Is lightered TO the cffv and

A meeting has been arranged TO take
place today between officers OF the rail-
roads and the committee of the striking
wages
The Erie railroad had some tugs IN
use ana the marine service Of the Lacka-
wanna railroad was partly stopped.
Railroad freight agents said that II the
strike continued the effect would soon be-
come serious, not only for New Workers
but would prevent the interchange of
freight between railroads
AT the offices OF the New York. New
Haven and Hartford railroad. II was stat
ed that none of that company's tugs or
lighters was effected by the strike. as for
year the company had been paying the
wages now dema nded
IL was estimated that not more than
one third of the freight arriving at the
railroad terminals was moved across the
harbor today and that many carloads Of
perishable freight and vegetables were
stalled AT least temporarily in Jersey City
Staten Island and at Port Morris In
consequence the local markets were short
OF supplies.
The general freight on the Central Rail
road OF New Jersey was tied up. but IL
was able to deliver it's perishable freight
after some delay

usually bring the freight from Staten

The exact character OF President
Perry's ultmatum is shrouded i'm the
deepest mystery. but IL was stated to-
day by one of the most active political
supporters OF the railroad company,
and also very closely allied with the
city hall Republican ring, that Mr..
Perry will decline TO use the tunnell
upon any other basis than one provid-
ing for it's ultimately becoming the
property OF the Rhode Island company.
This same authority even went so far,
also. as TO assert that. unless Mr.. Perry $
ultimatum Is accepted by the committee
ard later by the city council, no tunnel

matter has already been arranged

the East Side taxpayers that not only
was everything fixed all right. I'm the

newspaper controlled by the Aldrich- Colt
Perry combine. IL had been settled that
one other would not support the East
Side sentiment, while before the matter
could come before the city council the

OF course, all of this information will
be of interest TO the residents OF the
East Side. who unanimously demand
tunnel and nothing else. and who insist
that. as tunnel would be one OF the
city's most valuable assets IL should
never be permitted to pass out of the
ownership OF the city any more than
should the public streets.
