the strike of the Northeastern rail

up traffic. No freight has been mov
ed today and only the mail trains are
running.
Thirty thousand railroad men are
out. Seventeen thousand miners were
mndc idle today whou, owing to in
ability to bbipvconl, tho mines were
closed down indefinitely. Five thou
sand dock workers havo been laid

ment. President Rrixton of tho board of
trade is making every effort to bring
about arbitration nnd todny held sev
