THE LATEST FROM MARSHALL
Marshall, Texas, March T -pecial. J.
The citizens here met in public meeting
ON Wednesday and made an earnest effort
to reconcile the differences between the
Texas 81 Pacific Railroad company aud she
employees in the shops The citizens COM
mitter finding their efforts unsvailing,
gracefully bowed themselves out. The
receivers OF tne Texas Il Pacific company,
OF course, knew the purpose of Mr. Irons,
the representative of the Knights of Labor,
in coming here and that under the direc-
lions of that or a Iization he was control
ing the movement. Ia his reply to the
citizens committee Governor J. c.
Brown, Tor himself and Mr..
Sheld n, meets the issue openly
and boldly, and throws down the
gauntlet to the Knights of Labor. He
says he will hear individuals who complain
that they have grievances, but will not rec
ognize outside interference. He reserves
the right 70 discharge any man for cause,
and the right 10 reduce the force
as may be desmed advisable, and
in addition to all this he has invoked
the United States court and publishes an
order of Judge Pardee, sustaining the re-
ceivers. All this is clear. The issue is
made up.
The Daily WorkmGn, published at Texar-
kama in theinterest of the Knights of Labor,
in its issue of this morning says: The
rumors which have been floating in the
air for the psf week will materialize this
morning. No agreement has been reached
between the Knights of Labor and the
Texas & Pacific railway and a general
strike will 60 into effect at 10 this
morning. Work will close al
all points of the tiOuld Southwestern syste m
and business viii remain suspended until
a proper hearing is vouchsaled the ex-
ecutive committee of District Assembly l01,
of the Knights of Labor, BY
Governor Brown. receiver of the
Texas & Pacific railway, Dis
trict Assembly 70, Kni hts OF Labor,
will cooperate in the strike. 1t is will be
perceived, an Inauguration of conflict
between labJr and capital, the railro Ids
and the workmen. The war seems to have
been courted by each party. If both were
81 icitous for eace the difficulties could
have been settled in q day"
