The committee of strikers then met. Specches were made by F. M. Reynolds, a lawyer; James Anderson, supervisor of traips, T. B. Davis and others. About 139 strikers were present, and the majoriiy ex- pressed @ willinguess to ran trains to day, though they all claimed that they could not live on the wages. Those willing to wo-k said they would not go out if any troops were placed on the engines. “THE ROAD 18 OPENED.” Vice President Keyser started for Cumber- land at 12:45 o'clock, hav! 3 telegraphed to Mr. Garrett: «You can notify all agents east and west that the road is opened from the Cherapeake to the Ohioriver.
