ST. LOUIS, Marcn lU.-lt is sniu sha'
the first time in the history OF railroad
strikes tho employees not interested IN the
cause are affected by the action OF a por-
ton of the employees in the separate and
distinct departments. This morning an
order was issued By a. NJ. Hoxie, First
Vice President of the Missouri-Pacific road,
to the heads of all departments OF the road
to at once dispense with the services OF
every employe not positively necessary to
the company in its present crippled condi-
zion. This means over 100 telegraph oper-
ators, l, 800 freight-house hands, 800 clerks
$50 crossing watchmen, 100 to $50 firemen,
and many other employees on the Missouri
Pacific are let out for the time being. 1t
is quietly understood the engineers will
receive at least half pay and the tiremen
who are not in the strike will be treated
like wise. Conductors will receive pay only
when run. and this is equal to suspending
nearly 400 freight conductors and others
necessary to the running OF local and
through freights. All told, it is stated that
nearly 5000 persons not interested in the
present strike suffer q loss in their salaries
until the Knights return to work. 1t Is
stated Oh the authority OF q high Official
that individual notices are being sent by
the company to all strikers that their
names are stricken from the payroll, and
that they are discharged from the service
Of the company.
LATER-The situation remains un-
changed in East St. Louis this morning.
The Knights OF Labor there have not
struck as yet, but large numbers OF that
organization from this city are there at
tempting, it is supposed, to persuade them
to Join the movement. The effect OF the
strike in st. Louis upon the cattle trade is
especially severe. No stock cars can cross
the bridge, and therefore the receipts are
materially lessened as the strike proceeds.
General superintendent Kerrigsn, of the
Missouri-Paciic, this morning issued an
order, expelling from the Missouri-Pa ci6c
yards 500 Knights Of Labor. This order
includes the delegation Of men appointed
by the Knights 10 guard the companys
property.
The circular issued to the strikers, order.
ing them off the company's premises, is as
follows:
You are hereby notified that your action
in Withdrawing from the employment of
the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company
was q voluntary abandonment OF the serv-
ice of the company, and that you are no
longer in its employ, and that your names
have been stricken from its rolls. All
such who are now about the company's
premises are hereby notified that they
must Immediately leave thesame, to the end
that this company may resume the traffic
of the country. (~Sisned:)
VIM. KERRIGAN.
Although the officials will make no state
ment concerning the affair, it is generally
believed they are employing new men now
to take the places of the strikers, and that
the movement Of freight trains will be at
tempted tonight. Should this prove true
the knights OF Labor will undoubtedly Of
fer resistance.
