Strikes Trigger Layoffs Across Ontario and Western Lines
Nearly fifty Ontario and Western men were laid off on the city Monday and yesterday the Delaware and Hudson company began retrenchment by laying off yard staff at Honesdale. Passenger locomotives and crews will take over that work. A notable strike feature is miners moving about the streets, tending to fences and gardens rather than gathering in groups to discuss the situation.
