The situation of the strike on the Mis-
souri, Pacific has assumed 81 very seri-
ods phase. The action Of the governor
of Missouri in issuing O proclamation
confirms the extreme gravity of the af-
fair, while it shows where the power OF
this s1ate is to be thrown in case OF emer-
gency, The situation IS very anxious
one-not only for the outcome of the
present difficulty, but in Its influence on
the future and on the welfare of the
working classes generally. A strike of
such magnitude as this one, concerted
with such consummate plan, and car
ried into effect &c quietly and determin-
edly would, If successful, carry with it
great moral influence and the Lesson it
taught would prove Of permanent value
to the working men and women of the
world; but should it fail to carry its
point peaceably and lawfully, it's effect
will be very demoralizing, and it will
be general misfortune. The business
public and the working classes are
united in interest. Well paid me.
chanics and laborers insure prosperity
Pauper labor is demoralizlng to every
thing. The Press and Dakotaian woult
hail with much satisfaction the intelli.
gence that the Gould lines trouble had
been settled and that the knights hsd
been able to maintain consistent posi-
tion. The difficulty between the knights
of labor and the Missouri Pacific is no
one of wages altogether-it grew out o
the discharge by the company, of an EN-
employe named Hall whose offense wa
not, in the Judgment of the knights, suf
ficient to provoke dismissal.
