or the Knights of Labor, either, for
that matter. The attendance is said
TO have been large, but the enthusi-
asm manifested ten days ago was lack.
ing. 1t is said, however, that certain
gentlemen were named to select a com
mittee TO proceed to St. Louis, but for
what purpose is not known Some
claim the committee will consult with
Chairman Irons and request him to
declare the strike at an end; others
think the committee will ask that the
strike be made general. The men,
bers who were present declined to be
interviewed, hence nothing positive
could be learned.
SURRENDERED AT HOLDEN.
The first unconditional surrender
on the part of the strikers comes
from Holden. About 6:45 o'clock
last tight Superintendent f. X. Sib-
ley received message from the oper-
ator at Holden asking if the late EN-.
ployes of the company there would be
permitted to send a dead-head mes
sage to Vice President Hoxie, at St.
Louis. From this it was inferred
that the strikers had weakened, con-
sequently Mr.. Sibley answered as fol-
lows:
SEDALIA, March D.
W Il. Gray, Agent, Holden, No.
Tell the strikers 10 send their message 10
me, dead-head, and If in proper form |
will forward TO Sir. Hoxie

PLEASED TRAINMAsTER.
Mr.. j. B. Flanders, trainmaster of
