STRIKE WILL SPREAD, ALL OTHER TRAIN MEN ANXIOUS TO GO OUT. ri»e Matter No«r Rents With Chiefs Ar thur and Siirjr cut—Tlie Strike Must He Settled To-day or More Trouble Is Cert i» hi. IltTFFAi/O, N. Y., Ati#. 21.—It can j now be said almost certainly that the | locomotive firemen on the Lehigh, Erie, Lake Shore, West Shore, and New York Central roads will go out between 6 o’clock this evening’ and Sunday morning. ^ The members of the brotherhood of Trainmen ami conductors on the above roads and possibly the telegraphers will follow the firemen. This strike, should it occur, will be the outcome of a secret meeting of the five local lodges of firemen held last night. It was called at a hall on South Division street, near Hickory, at 8:20 o’clock last evening and lasted until nearly midnight. About 250 men were in attendance, representing all th’e lodges in the city as well as the several roads. The Trainmen’s and Conduc tors* brotherhoods were represented uy ur legates. It is that, the 597 men of the Fire men s Brotherhood are unanimously in favor of declaring a strike on the Erie, Lake Shore, Lehigh, West Shore, and Central rouds. Many of the mem bers urged that the loeal lodges order the strike immediately. They were held back by the more conserva tive men, and the matter was refereed by telegraph to (irnnd Master Sargent at Terre Haute. It was stated by one of tin* firemen that it was <|uite proba ble that the Crand Master would com ply with the wishes of the loeal organ ization. About 300 men will be ordered out if the strike occurs. Lehigh lodge has tifty members, West Shore lodge about { the same number, and Erie lodge 140 members. The firemen on the Lake , Shore and Central belong to one lodge. ; 1 he brotherhood has 2,700 members , in the United States and Canada. A ( striking fund of $5,000 has aeeumu- < lated since the Chicago, Burlington «fc ’ Quincy strike four years ago. The j men say that it is now' or never with j the cause of organized labor on all . •ail roads. ' WILL NOT HAIL NON-UNION MEN. ( \i» Kndcavor to Sf the \ anderbilt lines lias been in l)e- 1 roit securing switchmen to take the 1 dace of the strikers at Buffalo. He i iecurod twenty-live men, and early his morning smuggled them into the s >aggage-car on the Michigan Central < T-’o a. in, train going East. The r w itchmcn on duty were apprised of i he fact and declared that the train c lion Id not move with the “scabs” on, 1 i» they were bundled out and the train * rent on its way. Later they were put I n the Niagara Falls and Buffalo ex- t >ress, but were again tumbled off be- 1 ause the conductor refused to order j is train out. 1 To-day the Teat Day. Bufeai.o, N.Y.,Aug. 21.—lien.Doyle, Comma ntler-in-Cliief of the troops, does not think the strike will last mueh longer, and expressed his opin ion that freight will be running out of Buffalo just as smoothly and rapidly as ever in a day or two. ^he Central road is now moving tinfhe in its yards for the first time since the strike began. The Lehigh road has in one of its roundhouses men sufficient, the officials assert, to move its traffic under protection, and the Nickel Plate, the last road tied up, is possibly the only one of these affected, which may not have secured new help. This will be the test day. The claims of the companies will be verified or the assertions of the strikers will be proven true. Gov. Flower's Optimistic View. Ai,ii.vnv, N. Y., Aug. 21.—Gov.

Railroad men in this vicinity are satisfied to be left alone, and the engineers and firemen deny that there is any combination forming between them and the switchmen. Conductors Will Not Go On Strike. Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Aug. 21.—In an interview last evening E. E.

They Object to the Presence of the Guard* on Train*--OflP»r* of Arbitra tion He Timed by ltotli the Line* Inter ested—Troop* Heine Mussed. Bt'FFAt.o, Aug. 20.—Advices from the railroad yards here say that the impression is growing hourly that the firemen and engineers will soon go out. The soldiers su.v the engineers give them as much trouble us the strikers and annoy them in every way. Kvery time an engine passed the engineer would open the valves and drench them with hot or cold water. The soldiers were on the trestle thirty feet above the ground and could not move even if they were scalded. It is explained by the rail road authorities that they can not move freight very rapidly until uii'v nave more prou'cuon. Long1 lines of freight ears were pull ing slswly out of ISulValo all 4 mile for 1 John Splan, which stood as the oval 1 1 track record until Pointer displaced it ! , yesterday. Direct's 2:06 record mile, i which also fell before Pointer, was J made on the Independence kite Sept. 4 last. Monroe Salisbury, who owns Direct, helped to time Pointer's mile.
