THE SITUATION AT DALLAS.
The strike continues here and all
along the lines of tho Missouri Pacific
aud Texas Il Pacific railways. The
strikers are still determined, and de-
clare that they will n0vor yield TO what
they denounce as oppre sion and tyr
amy on the part of tho railways They
have not stopped auY . asseuger trains
as vet, and say they nave
too much regard for the
good opinion of q Justice loving people
To do anything of the kind. The sympa-
thy for them is increasing, and their
quiet, sober movement Is making them
friends. The governors proclamation
regarding the strike cast a temporary
chill over the strikers, but a true sense
Of what. the general public
il and the strikers are stronger TO. day
than ever before. Tho membership of
the labor organization, known as the
Knights of Labor, is rapidly increasing,
and the additions consist mainly of
strikers. No freight was re-
moved from Marshall or other
points where the strike exists,
yesterday, rs was proposed by
the railroads which expected, through
the proclamation OF GOV. Ireland, TO get
the aid OF the local civil authorities.
! News received here from Marshal, the
center OF the strike, is 10 the effect that
negotiations are pending between the
roads and the strikers. lt is also ru-
mOred that a conference looking TO the
settlement of matters has been called
L.. a.. "a. - 1 - 60,
morrow, or as soon as possible, and, if
possible, effect a compromise.
A grand mass meeting was held last
night at the corner OF Main and Murphy
streets, for the pprpose o
discussing the strike and the
oppression OF the strikers. The meet.
ing, which was largely attended, was
enthusiastic, and Gould, Hoxie anC
other railway maguates, We're handled
without gloves. Gov. lreland's procla
nation was denounced as unnecessary
and uncalled for, by the speakers, VIII
were, for the most part, residents.
The speeches we're loudly applauded
Among those who addressed the meel
