Y. and I. Hopes to
Keep Trains Running

Manager A. NJ. Ardery Of the Vir-
ginia and Truckee railway when ask
ed this morning in what manner the
contemplated railroad strike might
affect his road. replied that it might
result in the laying off OF some of the
crews and abandoning the freight
trains for the time being. but that the
regular passenger trains would be
run between Virginia City and Reno
and Carson and Minden. This ser
vice would be kept up until all fuel
became exhausted. which is not like
ly to happen a they company is fully
prepared for any such emergency.
Mr. Ardcry did not think that the
men on his road would be called out,
but the general strike would Of ne
cessity curtail business to such an ex-
tent that the laying off Of some of the
crews would probably be necessary.
