CHINAMEN AT WORK.
The Knights of Labor Decide Not to
Conduct Z Strike.


RAwLINs, wy. T., Sept. 26.-It was
learned last night fIOm what is believed
to be an official source, that there will be
no strike on the Union Pacific railroad.
The reason given IS that the Knights OF
Labor by organizing a strike would prac-
tically indorse the killing of the Chi
nese at Rock Springs, so they have
determined TO settle the trouble by more
peaceabie means. The Chinese are all
at work in the Rock Springs mines and
considerable coal is being turned out. A
few white miners have accepted passes
to other points. Those remaining refuse
to go to work. The railroad company, it
is said, makes arrangements to import 900
Mormons from Utah and Idaho to take
their places in the mines. Winter quar-
ters are being constructed for the troops
now here.
