{ .Sr. LOUIS, March 29th.-The news tele-
graphed from New York last night that
Grand Master Workman Powderiy had
ordered the strikers on the Gould south
west system OF railroads to resume work
Immediately, pending arbitration, was re-
ceived by the Knights here with incredu-
lity, some even going so far as to say they
believed that the teleerams were f.rgeries
After the first surprise occasioned by the
Intelligence had passed, general satisfac-
ton was expressed that the strike was not
to be prolonged, and that the men would
be allowed to so back to work. The alb
sence of Irons, Chairman of the Executive
Committee of District Assembly 1O1, will
delay to some extent the resumption of
traffic upon the roads, for other members
OF the committee say that men of their As
sembly will not go back to work until they
have either met in executive session and
voted upon what they term the request of
Powderly that the strike by ordered of, or
Irons himself shall issue such order. Re
ferring 10 Powderlys order to the knights.
now on strike in the southwest, members
OF the committee say that Powderly has
exceeded his authority. and that such or
der cannot be enforced until indorsed by
their vote. This will necessitate the trans
action Of a large amount of routine bust
ness, for the Executive Committee of each
District Assembly must meet and take a
vote upon the proposition. The result of
these votes must be communicated to Irons,
who if a majority are in favor of returning
to work, will indorse Powderlys order of
last night to that effect
