| 1895-09-05 | 1895-08-31 | Rockland Branch | The delegation of strikers from the Rockland branch of the Central Counties railroad, who visited the city yesterday afternoon, met with very little success in their quest for satisfaction. They were after the manager of the new road, Mr. Hibbard, but were unable to locate him, and started in to secure a guarantee from other quarters for their arrears in pay. Today the men are reported to have taken full possession of the line, spiking the switches to effectually prevent the running of trains. They have also taken legal advice as to the best way of securing a settlement of their claims. A consignment of cattle from W.C. Edwards' farm at Rockland was to have been shipped yesterday for the Industrial fair in Toronto, but the employees would not allow it to proceed to South Indian where the cars would take the Canada Atlantic railway line; the cattle were taken out of the cars and brought up to the city on board the Empress instead. A special train having on board Mr. E.J. Chamberlain, general manager on the C.A.R., left the city this morning, for the purpose, it is said, of arranging matters with the dissatisfied employees.
