ST LOUIS, March ll.-Under instruc.

posse of about so men for
Hannibal, Missouri, to take charge OF
erty at that point. Master Mechanic
Hewitt visited the Missouri Pacific
shops here just before quitting
time this evening announced to the
men that the wages prevailing in the
shops prior to September last would be
restored dating from March l.
This action of the company, he. said,
was taken in consideration of the
the cheerful manner in which
they had continued their work
under trying circumstances. The res
toratiOn amounts to from 10 to 30 per
cent. according to the wages earned by
the men in tho different departments. -
AT KANSAS CITY.
KANSAS CITY, March ll.-All Wabash
trains and Missouri Pacific passenger
trains from this point are now runnin
as usual. The only work permit
ted in the Missouri Pacitic
yards is the switching Of
a few freight cars that the strikers are
allowing to be moved to accommodate
shippers.
An agent of a connecting line stated
to Times reporter this evening that he
was informed to-day by a
representative of the Missouri
Pacific that the freight blockade of the
road would be removed Tomorrow. This
report, if authentic, is under--
stood to mean that the railroad
officials expect either to effect com
promise tomorrow or force
an issue ara undertake to
operate freight trains despite
the opposition o, The strikers. A small
reserve police force was kept on
duty to-day, but there has been no
occasion for their services. One local
military company of 80 men
is also held in read1-
ness in case of emergency.
IL is reported tie Missouri Pacific pay
car will arrive here tomorrow, though
it is not yet due for three days.

Vice. President Hayes Interviewed.



ST. LOUIS, March 1O.-Capt. Hayes,
senior vice-president of the Missouri
Pacific railroad, in an interview on the
strikes, said: The main question in this
strike is one of personal liberty or
whether handful of men who are not
satisfied with their position as en-
ployes shall be allowed to prevent other
men who have no expressed cause OF
dissatisfaction from continuing work.
Out of 5000 employees. of the Southwest
ern and the Wabash systems not LOCO
are directly affected by the reduction of
wages, which is alleged to be the reason
for this strickland l am morally certain
that of this 1000 at least 500 would go to
work tomorrow If they were not re-
strained by the bulldozing employees.
The reduction made is in regard to men
eraploved in tho machine shops and
round-hous3s and some OF the coal
shute men. The train service hands
have not been reduced. The reductions
have been principally in Texas, where
they may be said in general way to
range from 6 to 10 per cent, but still
leaving wages at which other men fol-
lowing like means Of q livelihood, have
,tetctore gotten along very comfortably
,s@~r~s s. i.cTiis,a AHA and 9nsA!i u
reductions are not SO great, but the
Texas lines were not more than paying
expenses and fixed charges, as rule,
and some of them were not even doing
this. In these dep: essed times 1t
was simply question of whether
a given sum of money allot-
ted for expenditure to repair
rolling stock and keep up round
houses should be so distributed as 10
give employment to larger or smaller
number of mon, and it was decided to
keep as many men as possible. During
the dark winter days the hours were
limited by reason of shorthess
of daylight, aud the shopmen
worked but five days in the week, OF
nine hours each, or week of As hours.
This same time rule prevailed in all
shops in Kansas and Missouri, but on
the 18th of last month the schedule of
time was raised to six days of 10 hours,
giving 10 hours more earning time each
week, or from four to six days extra
pay in each month. Some 10 days since
both Mr.. Hoxie and myself were in
Texas visiting different places where
these troubles have since occurred, and
the men, if they had complaints, had
full opportunity TO present them,
but no complaints were heard.
We heard no grievances to the train
service men. Some three years ago Mr..
Talmage arranged schedule of prices
for engineers and firemen, and agreed
with the men that no reduction should
be made except on 60 days notice. This
agreement has been lived up 70, and I

The air is full OF all sorts of
wild rumors. The strikers claim
that compromise has been
effected by Gov. Brown, representing
tho railroad company, to restore the
old wages of last October, with proba-
BILE increase. Gov. Brown denies the
statement and says the railroad wilt not
negotiate with the strikers, because
they are not law abiding, honest citi-
zens, and they could not treat with
them under any circu stances.
The strike at Pleasant Hill. Missouri,
commenced this morning. The shops
and yards are in the possession OF q
mob and trouble il feared there.
The militia is still at Centortown, Is
miles west of here, awaiting orders.
POLICEMAN PULLS A THROTTLE
United States Ma shal Cousins, of
this city; reached Hannibal, Missouri,
this morning with strong force of dep
uties, to protect the Wabash railroad
property. Train Master Richie also
arrived, bringing four engines from
SprinSti field to move about 100 loaded
freight cars held by the strikers. These
we're met by the strikers, who refused
to allow the engines togo to the Mis-
souri,, Kansas IL Texas yards for cars
Two of the leaders were arrested. The
pass, but the engineers refused to run
their engines without the permission Of
the strikers. Policeman Ledtord, who il
about hair an engineer, then boarded
the engines, ran to the yards and got
out one train which started east this at
teruoon. The regular engineers.hnally
concluded to run their engines aud the
work progressed. The strikers are very
indignant at Policeman Ledford.

was received here to-day that I'D. Doug

intends to come over from Sherman
tomorrow and move freight, "nolens
yolens." This created furry and q
meeting OF citizens was cal
led at the Board of Trade
rooms, which resulted in q
committee being appointed to consult
with the sheriff. This was altogether
unnecessary, as the strikers are as good
citizens as they are and have adopted
the following plan. Sheriff Doug
lass, after many days trial,
has at last succeeded in getting together
$50 men, in justice to whom, it is said,
they have been forced in, and promise
to desert on their arrival here. Sheriff
Douglass and his Een will arrive
at the edge of town about noon, when
they are to be met by the strikers and
others to the number Of about 800, headed
by brass band, when the
Keys to the city are to be
presented to them, and then they are
to be escorted to the Missouri Pacific
yards, when every ming is to be turned
over to the posse. The engineers met
to-day and resolved on acertaiu course,
which will, if carried out etfectu-
ally, prevent any movements. Thus the
Whole affair will be turned into a farce,
instead of blood and thunder tragedy,
