The Strike Condition.
The strike situation at thia point
during the past few days has
undergone material changes, and aB
a result the strikers are somewhat
ahead, Last Sunday morning six
teen men were imported from the
cast and at once set to work in the
shops. During that day the nine
boilcrir.akcr helpers concluded that
they would not work with the im
ported men, and laying down their
tools walked out. Last evening the
machinists' helpers, to the number
ot twelye or thirteen, walked out,
they too refusing to work with the
foreign men. Two rouud-house
employes quit this forenoon, and it
is said others will go out today or
tomorrow. It is also reported that
the blacksmiths hayc determined
to walk-out and that this action
will be taken within the next forty-
eight hours. The importation of
"scab" labor is the cause ot the
workmen throwing up their jobs
The urst demonstration since
the commencement of the strike
occurcd last niirht. A number of
the men were, as usual, at the dc.
pot when train No. 3 came in, and
as the train stopped bcvcii men got
off one of the rear carH. These
men were marched up along the
train in charge of the chief detec
tive in charge at this point. Sup
posing that these men were im
ported mechanic', the striker in
dulgcd in considerable hooting and
yellinir, but when convinced that
the men were guards and not me
chanics, th c demonstration ceased.
The men who arc out are grow
ing more firm each day in the con'
viction that the stand they have
taken is just, and no influence that
the company can use will induce
them to return to work until the
company recedes from its proposi
tion to adopt the piece-work sys
tem. As the oihcials say they will
not do tli ip, it looks ycry much as
though the prediction made by
