WAITING FOR ARBITRATION.

al Of HoXie, first vlce-presldent OF the
Missouri Pacific railroad, to confer will
Mr. Powderly looking to a settlement OF
the strike lessons the chances OF speedy
adjustment Of the existing differences be
tween the companyaud Its employees, ant
all eyes are now turned upon the propose,
conference between Governors Martin
and Marmaduke and the rail-
way officials. The result OF tn,
conference is anXlously awaited fO
1t will determine, as miny think, tn
future policy OF the executive committee
of the Knights Of Labor. An extension
of the present strike TO the other railroad
beside the Gould Southwestern system
Is expected unless the efforts OF the gov
errors TO bring about settlement fail
In that event some of the members OF th
committee express the opinion that II
policy will be TO gradually exten,
the strike TO other various depart
ments Of the roads now involve,
until the company shall remed
their employees grievances. II this shal
fail, then, says member Of the comm
tee, The strike will be extended TO othe
roads Many are hopeful, however, be
lieving In the ability If Governors Mar
maduke and Martin TO effect settlement
that such course shall not become neces
sary.
The submission TO the United State
court of Halls case, the discharged Texa
& Pacific employe, is also anxlousl
looked for, for 1t is preya ent opinion
that the decision In his case will settle tn
difficulties In the South and will remov
one grievance from the Missouri Pacif
strikers list The local situation mi
morning remains about unchanged. NJ
attempt has been made TO move freight
but suburban trains are running regular
ly. The strikers arc generally quiet, NJ
disturbances having as yet occurred
All fears OF a strike In East ST. Louls
have been allayed.
