Sr. LOUIS, Aug. l9.-The action of
the national executive committee OF
tho Knights OF Labor, in issuing the
general order to the knights employed
on the roads west of the Mississippi,
prohibiting the handling or repairing
OF Wabash rolling stock, has been fol-
lowed by no serious results to-day.
Members OF the Wabash
com nittee, which Is in ses-
sion here, are OF the opinion
that tie full force of the order will
not be felt by tho RAILWAYS for several
days yet. kilograms have been re-
ceived from different parts of the
State from branch assemblies of the
national organization endorsing the
Issuance of the general order and indl-
eating their intention to stand by IL,
Meetings of the knights all over the
West will be held as soon AS the order
is received by them and it Ia expected
that concerted action will bo taken by
the 2lst, at the latest.
|, j. Russell, OF the committee, SAYS
the resolution calling for the impeacn-
ment OF United States Judges Brewer,
Treat and Krekel will be carried out If
possible. Congressman Warner and
General Palmer will draw up the arti-
cles of impeAchmont, which will be in
trOduced into Congress and pushed
vita ell the influence which the
knights can command.
TrOubl) Is expected at Kansas City
shorty. A number of the yard and
train men at that city are knights
and in obedience TO yesterdays order
IL is thought that they will refuse to
handle Wabash cars, in consequences
of which all Wabash freight will be
| sido.tracked.
100 p. M.-Nothing has yet been re-
ceiVod from any point In this State or
beyond OF any trouble growing out OF

hood nothing will occur for q
