grievances Of their own. Twas at first
thought that on account Of the latter
fact the strike would continue In Esst
st. Louis, but Master Workman Sulli-
van, Of the East st. Louis district, said
that the General Executive Board had
ordered them back to work, and
they would 90. This morning at
7 o'clock, the time at which the day
force Of switchmen, ffeight-handlers,
etc., 20 to work, large numbers applied
for positions at the headquarters of the
various companies, and the names Of
many were immediately placed on the
pay-rolls. Some few, recognized as
those who committed depredations upon
the company's property, were denied
employment. Many had not been in
formed Of the order in time to make APP
plication this morning, and will ask for
their old positions individually, and not
in a body. The best Of good humor
prevails in East st. Louis, and comps
MES there have been doing all The bust
ness required of them since the militia
arrived. Yards and freight depots pre-
sent an unusually busy aspect this
morning, and the manifest unessiness
of last month has entirely disap-
peared. 1t is expected that the mill
tia will be withdrawn tonight or to-
morrow.
The local committee Of the Knights
of Labor which ordered the employees
of the Missouri Car-Foundry Company
to strike because the latter furnished
the Missouri Pacific Company with re-
pair materials, informed the men that
they could report for duty in all de-
partments Of the works to-day. This
morning those who had been out on
strike applied for their old positions,
and were taken back almost without
exception.
MARTIN IRONS SATISFIED.
ST. LOUIS, May Martin Irons,
by whom the Gould South western rail-
road system strike was ordered, when
asked what effect he anticipated the
method Of ending the trouble would
have upon the Knights of Labor, said :
"We were fighting for recognition, and
we got it from Congress, which repre-
sents all the citizens Of the United
States. Is that not complete enough
recognition Our order will grow after
this even more rapidly thanit has during
the past few weeks, when applications
have been so numerous for charters that
we could scarcely find time to consider
them"
KNIGHTS RETURNING TO WORK.
ST. LOUIS, May 4.-The Knights OF
Labor have generally obeyed the execu-
tive order to return TO work, and many
applied at the Missouri Pacific and Iron
Mountain headquarters for their former
positions this morning. Those who
participated in acts of violence against
the railroad company were informed
that their services were not needed.
The others were told that their posi-
tons were already occupied, while
others and larger proportion were re-
employed. Chiefs of departments have
been instructed to employ only efficient
men when needed, and thus no general
unemployment of strikers in body
will occur, and the filling Of vacancies
will be gradual and will occupy some
time.

MILWAUKEE FULLY PREPARED.
MILWAUKEE, May 4.-Gathered in
the Polish section of the city early this
morning were about 300 Polish labor
ers all armed with sticks, slaves, and
clubs. Many of their faces were
recognizable as having been in the mob
that attempted to storm the Allis
works on Monday, and.others Of men
who were among those who were forced
out of the West Milwaukee shops. 1t
was learned that their programme was
to storm the Allis works and force the
employees to join their strike
and then move through Kinnikine
Valley upon all establishments not
enforcing the eight-hour system, con-
GLIDING with the North Chicago Roll
ing-Mill Company's Works, in Bay
View, where about 1000 men are at
work. This programme the mob pro-
ceeded to carry out, growing in strength
as they proceeded. At the rolling
mills they were about to break into the
Enclosure, when three infantry COM
panies appeared and marched into the
works. This caused the ardor OF the
mob to cool but the last company to
pass in (the Kosinko Guards) re.
ceived shower of stones. The
soldiers wheeled and fired over
the heads Of the mob, which then
