Il strikers Paper.
| GALVESTON, November 9Th,
third day of the Mallory boycott ha
passed without sign OF weakeniD,
on either side. The striking knight
surged back and forth on the princi
pal streets, discussing the situation
but perfect order reigned. The secret
conference of the executive commit.
lee Of the Knights of Labor and the
Trades assembly, remained i'm session
until O'Clock this morning. The
committee granted concession per-
hitting printers, newspaper men, and
clerks having no direct connection
with commerce, to return to work
upon condition that they shall cease
at a moments notice. This order ell
ables about sixty clerks and printers
to work.
II is asserted by the knights that
rather remarkable proposition has
been indirectly thrown out by the
Missouri Pacific Railway company
and rejected by the execu-
tive committee. The proposition
came through a subordinate official
suggesting that if the knights raise
the embargo ON the Missouri Pacific.
that company will agree not TO haul q
pound OF freight for the Mallory COM
pany until the boycott is over. The
Missouri Pacific people deny that
they made any overtures, but the
knights verify their story by naming
the sub official.

the permission was granted. The
Missouri Pacific company was also
granted permission to send out water
tanks. These humble requests from
gigantic corporations indicate how
snpfemely the knights are mas

mandate they have diverted
commerce away from Gal.

not be authenticated tonight, Int It's
