telegraphers and signalmen on the
lines Of the New York Central and
Nickel Plate Railroads for increased
wages and better hours will not be
granted. it was announced here today
by A. T. Hardy. a vice president of
the New York Central.
A strike which would, according to
the employees, involve 5000 men, had
been set to begin sometime tomorrow.
but H. B. Perham, president of the
Order of Railroad Telegraphers, said
today that reasonable time would be
granted to the railroad officials to give

been rushing men to various cities
between here and Chicago to act as
strikebreakers should the telegraphers
and signal men walk out.
THE New York Central is a public
service corporation and any strike will
not affect operation Of train service,

demand was made by the Grand Trunk
Railway Co that the Canadian govern

Pacific Railway from Winnipeg to the

announcement was made officially today.

The text of the statement follows:
THE Zeppelin raid last night COW
cred a considerable extent Of the
eastern coast. At least five or six air
ships actually crossed the shore.
Reports from reliable observers
made at various times during the night
at many points. some as far distant as
Rattran Head, Scotland, down to the
north coast of Norfolk, would point to
the possibility Of a greater number of
airships having been employed of our
coast. The enemy. however, made only
two attempts to penetrate inland.
About 100 bombs were dropped,
scattered over many localities. The
exact number is difficult to give. since
"a great number fell in uninhabited
areas and some into the sea.
In only a single locality did the
raiders cause any casualties or effect
much damage. In this case the bonn
bardment amounted to IL explosives
and four incendiary. The casualties to-
tailed six men-one of them a soldier
and two men and 10 men, including
three soldiers and eight women in
