When We have received replies from the
other directors we will hold 4 meeting Of
our committee and the arrangement com.
mlttre, when the replies Of The directors
will he laid before the lsitrr, and they
can DO with them as they see nt ! can
say this much, however, that stu do
not think the prospects encouraging i"
"what DO you think oi Mr.. IIoxle's
statement that the railways comprising
the Southwestern system are now In full
operatIoni"
''l am not prepared 10 say any thing In
regard 10 the resumption Of traffic on the
Southwestern system II this were the
only point iobe gained, and, IA Mr.. HuXie
seems TO think, thcp was nothing but
plain sailing before them, then he might
be right But he should remember that
the strike is not over vet. This commit.
tee on arbitration was not appointed sim.
ply to secure the resumption Of traffic,
but 20 endeayor 10 settle the difficulties
between the railroads and the strikers for
the best interests Of both sides. II the
railroads will not appoint their portion of
the committee, OF course II all amounts
tO nothing"

there is freight At any point for trans.
portatlon on the Southwest system that

REsuMIS0 OPERATIONS.
ST. Lor1s, April ls.-The Bridge and
Tunnel Company has been tribe behind
the other railroad companies affected by
the strike IN rcsumlng operations. The
company acted on the belief that H. old
employees, all of whom are capable men,
would be allowed 10 return to work when
the demands u traffic upon the bridge
were such as 10 make urgent the working
OF that property. But such was not the
case, aud when the roads centerlng In the
city began 10 pile up east.b0und car load
freight, aud those cenlering In East 81.
Louis freight for the western roads, the
bridge company was driven into looking
for new employees. II has secured them.
There II now full force Of clerks In
the Offices and the warehouses
are open with the usual num-
ber of men on the platforms 10 receive all
the fFalffhN un IL
At work In the Yards, and yesterday there
we're twcnty.elght trains, with total Of
600 cars, drawn across the bridge. A
considerable number Of those moved
East were loaded with live stock brought
In by the Missouri Pacific aud Iron
Mountain for the Stock yards.
-Four crews we're ready n take ont
bridge engines last evening, and fright
cars passed over the bridge during the
night, as they had not been doing ior
several weeks. The day crews will work
to-day, and Il ls expected that the accu.
mulaicd bridge freight will be worked on
within three days
