Cuicaco, Aug 50 far as present indications go there is no possible chance of the strike on the New York Central road affecting the Chicago roads belonging to the system, where at pres ent the trouble is raging. The situation is this: The fight now going on is one backed by the Knights of Labor. West of Buffalo there are no railroad men members of that organization, or more properly speaking, no assembly of rail roaders belonging to that body. The jurisdiction of the Knights of Labor does, therefore, not extend to Chicago. Railroad men here belong to what is known as the federated railway organi- zation, and if anything, are not very friendly to the knights, on account of previous stands taken by them durin railroad troubles in this city. Gran Master Sweeney, of the Switchmen's Mutnal Aid association, positively as serted that ‘there will be no strike in Chicago. The Knights of Labor will have to fight it out alone, and they have no jurisdiction whatever on any lines centering here. The council of Feder ated Railway organization can consider a strike and that at present is not even remotely probable or even possible.” Pinkertons at Syracuse, TRACY se, N.
