wholly without foundation. He characterized
it as lone of Jay Goulds lies for the purpose of
misrepresenting the Knights of Labor and de-
stroying public faith in the order What Mr..
Powderly did say,n. said Mr. Hayes, twas that
the strike was unwise and had been i'll advised,
because the local committees had taken action
upon important matters concerning very large
extent OF territory without first consulting the
general officers of the order. Other than that he
made no remarks of the character attributed to
him by Mr.. Could
Were you present at the interview referred
to between Mr.. Powderly and Mr.. Goulds'
Eyes, was. and have very distinct recol-
lection of what occurred"
'You are quite certain that Mr.. Powderly did
rot make the statements which Mr.. Gould says
he nader
II am positive that Mr.. Powderly said nothing
of the kind. and Mr.. Gould is repeating his old
tactics of misrerresenting u.s. What Mr.. Gould
says about our refusal of his proposition to in
clude in the matters to be arbitrated the ques-

caused by the strike, is true"
Those miners of the st. Louis district who
struck last week held meeting yesterday and
resolved to remain firm together. and not resume
work until after the strike by the Knights of
labor shall have been ended. Very little coal is
on hand in this district, and the expected total
cutting off of the supply will affect seriously the
manufacturing interests of this city and vicinity
Four hundred and fifty coal miners on the Illi-
nois & ST. Louis (Pittsburg) railroad have
struck. and it is expected more will strike about
fn- 10 o;c K,.;o -
in their struggle. A man who is we'll informed
declared yesterday that all the miners in st.
Clair and Madison counties will be out this week,
excepting, perhaps the men employed in the
machine mines. The st. Louis coel district ex-
tends over radius Of fifty miles, has 103 mines,
and gives employment to 1000 miners. OF this
number 1000 are employed in machine mines,
and they would not strike on their own account.
Few OF them are Knights of Labor, but most of
the other 5000 are members of the order, and it
is believed by their brethren that they will
demonstrate their loyalty when called upon to
do so.

the morning papers about negotiations pending
