SEDALIA, March ll.-No change in
situation here. No freights have been
| moved to-day. The company made an
attempt TO get freight ouG, but the hello
they thought they could command
| would not take the chances, aud refused
| to make much of an effort. People are
getting weary of tho state oi affairs, ana
business OF all kinds is mostly nj q
standstill. The strikers are very ,quigt,
orderly and peacefully disposed. No
militia has been here, and as iar as
now known, none Will come.
II Is FUNNY.
The situation remains materially un-
changed. Superintendent Hazen request
ed the MAYOR this morning to swear III
| Pinkertou detectives, but tho mayor
refused on the ground that the law re-
quired one years residence before men
could act RS officers. The superlnteho.
enJ sent for the executive committee OF
the strikers this morning and asked II
| they had not violated the contract made
| last night to allow freight trains 10 run.
They replied they had not, as that
promise was made with the under
standing that freight trains were to be
run "if men could be found to run
Them" Three attempts were made last
| night to take out trains ana
| several this morning, all of
which failed on account OF
the men employed leaving the trains.
| The committee of citizens and strikers
W no went to Jefferson City has not yet
returned.

trains were moved to-day. No violence
|
when an engineer would step
on to u locomotive, a party OF strikers
requested the engineer to take the en-
CINE back, to the round-house, which he
did. This was tried several times win
different men with the same re-
suit. The railroad company, through
Superintendent Hager, notified the
CITY authorities that Il any damage was
done to the compauy's property, the
city would be held responsible. The
committee of citizens who visited the
governor to-day, report nothing
new. The governor maintains
that the law must Dc
obeyed. 1t no violence is used by the
strikers he does not intend to Interfere
with the militia. The militia is still at
Centretown awaiting orders.
