confidence that this will be the result as they
d1d when they first ceased work.

Your message received. asking me if /
viii meet a committee selected by the gen

for a settlement of the difficulties with the .
Texas q Pacific employees.
/ beg to say that we have no difficulties /
with the employees of the Texas d. Pacific /
railroad, and should any arise We are most I
willing as IN the past TO confer with and l
right any grievance shown by them.
The only issue between the former en-
pIOyes5 VINO are now strikers and are not IN .
our service, and ourselves, is that they have .
cOLnLnlLteu uepreQaulOus upon the property /
IN our possession by disabling and interfer-
ing, by intimidation and otherwise with .
mer4uOrlOus honest men IN our service,
desiring to perform the duties abandoned /
by the Strikers. In this matter We have re-

and the United States marshals. and under a
writ of assistance from the court are set

good for abltraton with a committee OF

ST LOUIS, Mo-, March 12.-Nothing as vet
has happened to-day as far as regards the
strike on the Gould southwest system to war
rant the belief that there viii be a speedy
of the difficulties.
Mr.. BoWderly.s signal failure to open ne
got1arons with Receiver Brown, of the Texas
d. Pacific Railroad company, is regarded as
0minous, and the failure of Colonel Hoxie to
answer as yet, the communication sent TO
him yesterday by Martin Irons, chairman of
the executive committee of district assembly
No. lOl, Is looked upon as an indication that
the strike VIII be prolonged.
The failure OF the Pacific management in
its attempt TO resume freight traffic confirms /
the belief OF the striking Knights that the
object OF the strike VIII be accom- Dlished. /
The company however, has advertised for
new men, and that competent men will be
employed without reference to their past or
present relations to the company, or their
with any society or organization
Of any description
1t is the cOmpany's expectation that a suf-
dcIent number Will be employed during to- I
day 70 enable them to move the blOckaded
freight. Ln5 knights, however, state that
their relations with the Brotherhood of En-
gineers and Elremen are such that the com
pany cannot persuade them to run a single
engine III Llleg are rec -e,LGU NOT 70 90 so by
the Knights.
The situation this morning is not matari-
ally changed from that of last night. excsDt
that the strikers offered no opposition TO the
use by the st. Louis d San Francisco
company of the Missouri Pacific tracks, and
the blockade of that cOmpany's freight has
been raised, and their trains are now run
ming as usual
ThereplyOf Colonel Hozie to the commun-
catiOn of Martin Irons is auxiOusIy awaited
by all concerned; as upon it depends the
speedy termination OF prOlOngatiOn of the
strike.
