A iroodly percentage of the railroad men of this sectlon are experieneing the flrst effeets of the gen? eral tie-up of the mines ln tho valley to-day.

I_sckawanna and Western are Idle to-day or have received orders to Iay off to morrow, on account of the suspenslon of coal traffic While Ihia number lncludea all hands and .f>ems large. lt is based on n conaervatlve estlmale made by a train master, who ctalms that the of ticlals will be unable to give even a rough guess of the number lo ne affected ehould the strike last only a few weeks. Thla ia due to the fa't that the ral! frelgbt trafflc may and may not offaet the losses sustata?d ln the coal department. and it may or may not be found necessary to reduce the freight crewa. On the I-ehigh Valley hetween Paekertnn an,1 '."oxton nearly two hundred men were lald off to-day.

President Rohert M. Olyphant of the Delaware and Hudson Caaal Con_paB?, whoae twenty-elght i colllerles are Idle on nccount or the etrlke ln the antbraeita coa! reglona, aald yesterday that the payroll of lhe strlklng employes amounted to $400. 000 a month. "An.l the remarkable thin^ about lt ia that the men themseives want to work," aald Mr. Olyphant. "In addltlon to the employea of tho mlnes and breabera are tbe iraln crews employed ln hauling the coal. These men are compelled to auffer wlth the reat. The last eighl montlia have bten more proaperoufl for the miners and laborers ln the an? thraclte coal flelds than any almllar elght months ln the last lifteen years," contlnued Mr. Olyphant. It is a rather astonlshlng fact that thla strike waa ordered by people Itvlng entlrely outalde the coal regions. It wa.- englneered by two or three people, 1 UBderstand, who are receivlng aalaries of $250 * week from the trensury of the mlnera' central body. The strike Ieaders boast that they have $71,000 ln Ihe trea.sury. That would pay the strikers about one-balf days wagea t-aoh. Our men do nnt hesi tati to say that they don't llke the idea of Btrlk tng, but on the other hand they don't llke to be called 'scabs,' and therefore they go out wlth tho rr:-t. Our company "perates about twenty-elght colUertea." It has been augg.stfd by some of the operators that polit.ca had aomething to do wlth the ..rderlng of the strike. Do you take that view?" Mr. Oly? phant was B?fced. "1 have rtason to BUspeel that that ls true, but I iiave no proof of lt. I will not say lt till I know it ls true." sald Mr Olyphant. "Mr. Bryan haa ccr lainly given iho worklngmen of thla country a cue if they ar? unwisa enough to believe all he saya. I notlce that Mr Mltchell.BaM of the Btrike leadera, denies that polltlcs have any bearing on the sltua tion. I hunily know what to make of the atrlke. Wagea have been good and th* work haa been steady. Perhaps it was loo much prosperlty. Our superintendent told me f.>ui months ago that dur? lng periods of restrlcitou there was practically no dlscontent aoiong ihe men, and lie _ald that if the ilmes were hard there wuld probably be no strike at all." Jo'ni B. Kerr, general counsel of the Ontarlo and Western Railioad Company, which send* about flve millloii tons of anthraclte lo ti.ie water. sald yee terday th.it tho company had Just made an ln vestigatlon of the payroll of Its two largesl mlnes, and found thal lu one the mlnera had bten ic.iv Ing 16. a month nnd in the other $5. a month, wlth about Seven hour*. work a iay All thirteen eolllerles operated by the Ontarlo and Western are idle, and the coal train .rews have been temporartly laid off.
