ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, Mar. 1l.-Judge Ports,
General Attorney OF the Missouri Pacific
railroad, says that the formal discharge of
the striking men wipes out all existing
agreements between the company and the
Knights of Labor, and that if any Of the lat
ter are re employed it will be under entire.
ly now conditions or no conditions or obi.
cations at all. The general expectation
that the Miss ouri Pacific railway company
would attempt 10 move their blockaded
freight from their yards in this city last
night was not fulfilled, and visit to the
yards this morning failed TO discover any
such movement, aud at this time $50
everything is quiet in that vicinity. The
company has been quietly hiring new men
since Tuesday night, and it is anticipated
that they will to day ill the place Of the
striking knights, and the movement Of
freight will begin Several parties Of these
new men were being conducted to the yards
last night to receive their instructions when
they were met by delegations Of strikers
who persuaded them TO desist from their
purpose. The knights are reticent when
questioned about the probable result Of in
attempt by the railway company to move
their freight trains to-day, but tho general
opinion il that they will resist any such at
tempt. The company, however, are said to
have firmly decided upon such course, and
il any resistance is offered by the strikers
they viii! call for municipal, and. if neces-
sary, State protection.
