WHAT GOULD PLAYED FOR.

CHICAGO, March 30.-Alluding to the strike:
"This thing has been the mcst gigantic stock
jobbing operation on record" said Manager
Wicker OF the Chicago freight bureau to-day.
''The trouble didn't begin that way, but that
is what 1t has resulted In. Jay Gould has
worked 1t very fue. He held of until he got
Powderly just where he wanted him, and un-
til Powderly conceded everything. All OF the
old hands, both Knights OF Labor and scabs,
are to return to work, and everything is to be
as 1t was before the strike, except that those
men who destroyed property are not to be re-
turned TO their places. Matters In dispute be-
tween the Knights and roads are to be settled
by a committee OF fifteen. In this arrange.
ment Gould recognizes the Knights. But
Powderly made his concessions a little too
quickly to suit Gould. Saturday Gould would
do pothing-Mondsy morning 1t is announced
that he will srbitrste. He wanted at least one
day and he got It. he has MANAGED the mat
ter with consummate skill, and you may rest
assured he has his stocks In just the shape he
wants them"

Something to Think About.

st. Louis Republican: There are per-
sons who exhibit impotence at the de-
mands of labor. Where are these de-
mands to endp-they ask. How much
must be conceded before it will be sat
isfiedp II granted what it exacts this
year, will it not make new exactions
next yearP
1t may not be easy to answer these
questions in the present state of the
controversy; but there is n promi-
nent and instructive fact which may be
protitably borne in mind, viz: That
every voluntary concession made to
the industrial classes, and every vic
tory gained by them in the course of
their long struggle in this country and
Europe, has been accepted and ap-
plauded by the public rs II beneficent
result. Labor has gained one point
after another, in the last twenty-five
years; and in no single case has society
reason for %lamentipg the conquest. BY
the common consent of the world, it is
agreed that all these labor victories
have brought positive and valuable adj
vantages to the whole body polite.
and there is not one fair and intelli-
gent employer in the United States
who would, if he could, undo these TT
suits.
The reflection is reassuring. 1t
shows that there is no train of calami-
ties following in the wake of labor vic.
tories. The improvement of the con-
dition of the working classes does not
involve a destruction nor a subsection
of capital. On the contrary, capital
never multiplied at such an enormous
rate as il has done during the trade
union period Of the last twenty-five
years, and for this very good reason:
the working millions of the land are
the real consumers as we'll as the real
producers of its products; and the bet
ter off they are, the more literally do
they consume.

GOULD GETTING ANXIOUS.

NEW YORK, March 30.-It is now learned
that Ru sell ss &c tn l several other promin,n
railroad men are In attendance at the confer

o'clock, Mcdowell, who is assisting
Powderly come out Of the Office, but
refused to say what had been done.
Finally, however, be ADMITTED that matters
were progressing favorsbly. The Missouri
Pacif, officials are more inclined to bring
about 40 smicsble adjustment than at any
time since the negotiations commenced. 1t Is
clearly evident that much progress was made
towards the adoption Of a plan OF settlement
OF the pending difficulties.
EAST Sr. LOUIS, Ills, April 3.-Charles Bal
ley and Walter Scott Anderson, switchmen,
were arrested this afternoon on indictments
by the grand jury. 1t is rumored that fully
~ffty-two bills were fouEds against the leaders
OF the disturbance, and other arrests are *.
pected.
EAST ST.. LOUIS, H., April 3.-Some progress
this morning. The wholesale indictments
returned by the grand jury at Belleville
against the leaders of the mobs who stopped
trains had the effect to produce quiet. Little
or no disturbance will be experienced from
this out. All the roads run one train this
morning without disturbance. The strikers
were kept at q respectful distance by the sher-
III while the yard master and officers aud clerks
made up trains.

u ~ARBITRATES.

CT. LOUIS, March 29.-The news that Gould
had agreed TO arbitrate the pending difficulties
was received here with great rejoicing. Mr..
Powderly confirmed tie news and ordered q
resumption Of work. The followin was pre-
pared and sent out this morning:
To the Knights OF Lator in the Southwest:
We congratulate you one and all in your man
hood, for the recognition OF the r~ight,now that
the battle has been fought and the victory won.
Let US wear our lau rels as men Of dignity aud
moderation. Let every man return to his post

While capital threatens to appeal to
the courts to crush out labor organiza-
tions, the coal operators combine to
put up the price Of coal 20 cents per
ton, and to limit the output. This is
q fact that ought to be pondered by
every friend of the wage workers. The
price of coal affects every consumer,
whether manufacturer, business man
or laborer. 1t should not be forgotten
that coal is n of the best protected
industries of the country.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR RECRUITING.

CHICAGO, March 30.-Despite the recent
circular Of Grand Master Powderly, It is said
that extraordinary efforts are being put forth
in this city and vicinity to increase tie men,
bership OF the Knights Of Labor. Every
branch Of labor, from drivers of beer wagons
to BARRIERS is being formed into local assem-
blies. One thousand per week is probably not
below the growth Of the order In this city,
while neighboring places are being well cared
for, General Foreman Richard Grifiths having
almost nightly engagements for the ensuing
month. The total membership Of the order in
Chicago and vicinity is now fully thirty thous-
ard, and It is expected that this will be IN
creased to fifty thousand within a few months.
To-day Richard Powers, president OF the Sea-
mems Union, which recently allied itself with
the Knights, started on q pilgrimage to all the
lake ports, for the purpose Of inducing all Of
the other branches of the Union to take similar
action.
