81, Louis. Mo-, August Is.
To all whom IL may concern:
GREETING-Owin to the persistent

ecutive board deem II advisable to
issue the following order to all as
sembics on the Union Pacific railway
aud the Gould southwestern system:
10 all assemblies of the above
line: All knights OF Labor in the
employ of the Union Pacific and its
branches and Gould's southwestern
system or any other ilway, must re-
fuse to repair or handle in any man
ner Wabash rolling stock until fur
ther orders from the general cXccu-
tive board, and If this order is antag-

of its officials, your executive com
mittee is hereby ordered to call out
all Knights of Labor on the above
systems without farther action BY

II develops that il was the intention
of the board to issue this order before
the one sent over the Wabash road, AS
the actual weakness of the knights on
that road was known by tue cGecu-
tive committe and there was good
reason TO believe the effort of to-day
would be unfavorablc, but for some
unexplained cause it was held back.
The order was, hover, autographed all

and assembly meetings were called at
every point to receive it, and il is OK.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, August lS.-The

terrupt travel by throwing the cars
from the track. Tho police were call
ed upon but the mcagre force was un-
able to give the necessary pro-
lection, and stranded cars were to
he seen In all directions.
Three ur four arrests have been made
and Mt this hour. 1880, each ear run
ming is being guarded by u police

on this morning, have been assaulted.
but so far 10 serious injury has been
done to them.
