Aside from the fact that trains of
both the Central Railroad of New
Jersey and the Pennsylvania railroad
operating from the Central station
are running on regular schedule.
there seems TO be but little change IN
the strike situation in this city. Al
though the Raritan Copper Works
is about shut down, the Standard
Underground Cable Company was
able to resume operations today by
carting copper by truck to the plant.
Freights remain at a standstill and
except for the dumping of coal on
the Pennsylvania docks in South
Amboy other coal shipping points IN
this city and vicinity are idle. TX
press is again moving but not In any
great quantity. Lehigh Valley coal
docks advertise for men TO take place
of OUTLAW" strikers.
Train service from the Central
station here to and from New YORK
Is about normal, but no trains are
operating as yet from the PennsyiVa-
MIA station in State street ana no
tiee recently received at TINS stauoh
from the officials In New York states
that service will not be resumed untii
further notice. Passenger trains from
the Lehigh Valley station in New
Brunswick avenue began running
Yesterday, and are running on about
regular schedule today.

day's EVENING NEWS from the

! TODAY. In view of the fact that me
etrike of the boatmen on April l, ar
fected the tugs of the Pennsyivania
railroad, and that this strike Is stlI IN
| force. outside tugs have to be en-
pIoved to move the coal after it Is
loaded on the barges and TINS delays
the shipping to considerable extent
Ten trains of coal arrived at the Penlf-
svlvania dock yesterday from Harris
burg. which shows that freight on
tho main line of the Pennsylvania Is

No more cattle is being shipped

at the dock that less cattle had aled
during shipment than is usual.
Except for repair and maintenance
work about the plant the Raritan
! Copper Works is closed up tight to-
| dav The reason for the close down
| is because "outlaw" strikers refused
| TO move twelve cars containing TWO
million pounds of copper ore WHICH
| is now on sidings in the Lenish Na-
| lev ward here to the plant so tnal
/ plant began to run out or raw ma
! terial last week and as the matefial
became less various departments
| we're closed down until today the
plant as far as manufacturing is con-
| cerned, is shut down. r,t,,a
| The Standard Underground tapls
| Works. which closed down peeauso
| of lack of copper on FRIDAY hisn.. sta,
began operations again today after
carting a supply of copper from me
| Raritan Copper Works to the plahe
bv motor truck. However. unless tne
| strike breaks this week ana silip-
ments are received at the plant,
General close-down will take piaeee
