strike was rapidly settling itself
through the will of the great people
instead of through the force of bayo-
nets. / think it is fast drawing to an
end"
Governor, what Is there in the re-
port that YOU ordered the Lamar
Guards to be in readiness to visit Sc
dalia at a moments notice.
Il have not ordered troops to be in
readiness to 90 anywhere, nor have |
thought of so doing. This is a story
manufactured out of whole cloth"
"Has your visit to Kansas City any
connection with striker
"None whatever"
KoCHTITZKY's VIEWS.
Major Kochdtzky talked quite free
ly upon the situation In a general
way, but managed to cleverly evade
all the direct and what the lawyers
would denominate leading questions
hurled at him in rapid succession by
the BAZOo man.
Il do not know that there Is much
that can say" remarked the labor
commissioner. 81 told you when L
was here before that / thought the
strike had at that time reached a point
when reaction would take place, and
subsequent developments show that |
Was correct. the strikers are daily
weakening"
"You look, then, for an early and
amicable adjustment of the trouble 2"
Eyes. sir; / think that
traffic will be resumed this week. /
believe / told you that on the occasion
of nv last visit, and 1 have every
reason to believe that my judgment
is not at fault.
THE STRIKERS WILL GIVE IN.
GLOW will this resumption of traffic
be brought about; by the strikers
giving i'm and going to work.
Eyes. sir, precisely so"
"Will this be accomplished through
conference with the railway officials
and strikers ?"
"No, sir, the railroad company will
under no circumstances treat with the
strikers, but the men will resume work
under the contract made a year ago"
How do the strikers with whom
you have conversed talk :"
Gully three-tourths of them are
not only willing but anxious to resume
work. My secretary, Major Park,
has Just returned from Kansas City,
and he says that very large majority
of the men there are anxious TO resume
work"
Major Kotchtitzky went on to de-
Rl eaag oil the eg s6aafHel aaEalHzatNe .af h'tsi'
pressed especial
SYMPATHY FOR sEDALIA
as doubtless suffering greater loss than
any other point on the system, be,
cause the impression has gone abroad
that the strike originated here.
"But you know that is a mistake,
m aior," suggested the reporter.
Eyes, but Martin Irons, the man
from whom the order to walk out
came, resides 10 your city and it IS
hard matter to convince people that
the strike was not conceived here.
.sHow runs public sentiment re
gardIng the striker
sIt is strongly condemnatory. Las
year the strikers had real grievance
and were entitled to the sympathy o
almost the entire public. As result
their wrongs were speedily righte'
and they received even more thai
they asked. Now it is very different
There
ARE NO GRIEVANCES
TO adjust. hence it is ridiculous to tai
about arbitration. / do not call thes
men strikers they simply walked OF
at the word of command.
THE LEADERS RESPONSIBLE.
"You think, then, that few lea'
ing spirits are responsible for tn
strike y
81 hardly desire to be understoo
! as saying that, but as have told y.c
/ think there is very large mgorlt
: of the men now out who desire to r
turn to work, but of course there al
a few stiff:necked and loud-talkir
e ones who continue to threaten VIII
they are going to do"
swell, who do you think Is
u blame for this striker"
d 81 do not know that ought to a
|, swer that question. There are gre
e MANY things / know which it wou
1t not be prudent in me at this time
z, make public. The fact is there ;
y not vet been a fair statement OF Il
ie strike made. 1t has been all new
v paper talk"
&c TOO MICH FOR HIM.
