A large proportion Of the men employed

service of this Company by concerted move
ment at ten o'clock d m. on July LIST. The
strike which began at that time on practically
all of the railroads in the United States still
continues. The absence of such a number of
skilled and unskilled men from their regular
positions has, of course, interfered with the
orderly operations of this Company and has
placed an unusual burden upon the officers
and employees who have remained loyal.
The Baltimore and Ohio Company has
already employed large number of new men
and a much larger number were available and
would have been hired had not the Manage
ment desired to avoid, Or at least postpone so
far as possible, filling the places of it's former
employees with other men. The failure on the
part Of local authorities at some points on the
line to preserve order and protect those de-

to send more men until protection could be

Ohio Company yesterday, the goth of the

any day since the strike began The number
of loaded cars handled Yesterday was so per
cent. OF the number moved daily on the aver

There are no matters in controversy be
tween the Baltimore and Ohio Company and
