somewhat discouraged. Fred Turner,
the secretary, and Messrs. Hays and Bal

the latter place on Friday. just
before leaving the Astor house
Mr.. Turner said; eve 60 to st, Louis
for the purpose OF seeing that the orders
as transmitted by MIR. Powderly TO Mar

obeyed, shall know the reason why. The
men must return to work at all hazards,
until the matters Of grievance are settled
by arbitration or adjustment, whichever
it may be called. The business OF the
railroads must 90 on, aud the workmen
and the public must suffer no longer by

back to New York to ratify any agreement

giving an opinion he would send to
Washington TO procure copies OF q num-
