The General Executive Committee Of
the knights Of Labor we're in session
this afternoon, and tonight formulated
and issued the following important
order:
OFYICg OF TIE SECRETARY AND
TRKAsURKz, ST. LoUIs, August Is.
To all schoIH IL may e0EesrH, greeting,
Owing to the persisten. eight Of the
Wabash Company against the Knights
of Labor the General Executive Board
deem it advisable to issue the following
order TO all assemblies on the Union
Pacific Railroad and the Gould South
west system.
To all Assemblies on the Gbore 1iAes Of
RailDOay All Knights of Labor In the
employ Of the Union Pacific and its
branches, and Gould's southwest sys-
tenn or any other railroad. must refuse
to repair or to handle in any way Wa
bash rolling stock until further orders
from the General Executive Board. and
If this order is antagonized by the com
pany through any Of its officials, yoar
Executive Committee is hereby srdered
TO call out all Knights OF Labor on the
above named aysEems without further
order.
By order of the General Executive
Board. FRED'K. BUKSKR,
Secretary and Treasurer.
Il develops that it 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 of
Labor wss known to the Executive
Committee, and there was good reason
10 believe that the effort would be IN
favorable, bat from some unexplained
cause 10 was held back. The order was
| however fele0raphed all over the speoi
| fied roads this evening, and assembly
meetings we're called at every point 70
receive it. and il Is expected that To-
morrow tho road strike will be fairly on.
