Merchants complained of inability to weach the cars in the railroad yards jwith their own trucks. Inatances of dips aa high as $200 to yardmen to POH cars into favored locations were reported. Several cars of spinach and Florida cabbages were trucked over from Jersey, while several cays of Califor- nia asparagus an@\other vegetables were located at Piermont, N.

In general the situation was im- proved so far as the operation of trains was concerned to-day. The Néw Haven restored its through Boston trains and ran a makeshift commuter service, which, with the jaid of the N&v York Central and | New York, Westchester’ and Boston, got all of its commutation patrons |into New York “somehow” and v |confident of getting them all home again. The prospect. became brighter ‘numerous men who struck yesterday | reported for work at 7 o'clock to-day as though nothing had happened. Immediately thereafter notices . that the Knickerbocker and Merchants’ expresses had been withdrawn were taken down and it was announced that 90 per cent, through and local service would be resumed this after- noon, The Long Island steam lines east of Jamaica on the Lynbrook, Mon- tauk and Wading River lines and some others were crippled by the quitting of firemen on all the stein locomotives as spon as they reached Jamaica after 8 o'clock. One incoming train was abandoned except fore the mail cars at Ama- gannett. Higher officials of the road took out eastbound steam trains, Passengers on inbound trains were transferred to electric trains. ‘The plans of the Long Island were for ‘repeating the successful ac’ ve~ ment of yesterday when everybody who tried to get home was moved out of the Pennsylvania Terminal in gpite of delays and some ‘painful crowding. The New York Central reported carrying all its own commutation traffic and that of parts of other sys- tems on time, Through trains were all moving though subject to delay.

A train that left Elm Park at 11,50 was boarded by agitators. When their arguments failed to move the loyal trainmen it is alleged that assaults were com- mitted, ‘The trainmen quit as soon as they finished the run to St. George. Other trains were boarded by agi- tators at various stations along the routes of different divisions and the night crews were so impressed that they all quit. ‘The day crews failed to report. The freight yards of the Baltimore and Ohio at Arlington and St. George were also tied up. Ship- yards and other big industrial plants were crippled. The Central Railroad of New Jer- sey issued a statement saying there “was no strike” on any of ite jines but ‘that some of its men had been intimidated.
