FLAGS OF TRUCE FURLED.
NEITHER KNIGHTS NOR ROADS
WILLING TO YIELD.

Each Side BOastful of its Ability to De-
feat the Other-Turner Claims His Or
ganizatiOn Controls the Labor of the
COuntry-I,OOO Miners Throw Down
Their Tools.
ST. LOUIS, April 6.-After the depar-
ture last night of Secretary Turner, of
the General Executive Board of the
Knights of Labor, for the principal strike
centres in the Gould Southwestern sys-
tenn, the remaining members Of the COM
mittee announced the unanimous deter
mlDatiOn of the board to continue the
present strike until an arr angement had
been entered into with Mr.. HoXie resUOr-
ing all of the strikers to their former po-
sltiOns, with the exception of those only
who participated in acts OF violence and
destruction of property since the strike
began. This is decided advance from
the position they held Saturday before the
conference with Mr.. Roxie. They were
then willing to assent to an agreement
which would restore the strikers 10 those
positions which were not then occupied
by new men, but MIR. HOxie's refusal to
accept the agreement deprived them, they
say, OF the last hope of reconciliation un-
der the present circumstances.
BOTH SIDES BoAsTFUL.
The railway officials claim that a con-
tinuance of their regular business, which
they say has now been iully resumed. de-
ponds not in the least upon the actions OF
any labor organization, and that the
freight blockade has been permanently
ia sed. They also claim that they have
employed a sufficient number OF men to
render them entirely independent OF the
knights of Labor, and that the strike
will come to naught. The mem Oers Of
the General Executive Board, however,
state that they are confident of the sue
cess of the strike, for. saws Secretary
Turner, the roads cannot De operated
without the Knights OF Labor.
LABOR CONTROLLED.
The skilled and unskilled labor in the
United States i controlled by our Organj-
cation, and The company Of Mr.. Gould has
not and could not supply itself with rail
road men or mechanics, or even labOring-
men, If we attempt to prevent it. Ii lhev
employ any, they will leave AGAIN after
being at work little while. Laboring-
men, too, VINO are not knights of Labor
are in sympathy with US, and | think viii
ultimately support Us. The statement
that the COMPANY is now carrying on its
business is not true, and reports that they
are sending out so many trains a day are
misleading. These are not trains. Some
OF them are half trains, some even COM
posed of less than that number Of cars,
and some are simply cars sent out TO make
a show.
