moi vet done so and are awaiting official
instructions from Irons.
Nav YORK, March 29-It was re.
ported this morning that the strikers in
St. Louis would not go to work until
they received positive official notice
from Irons. Powderly was called upon
this morning and found to be in bed
When asked about the strike, he said
l"I have received no word that the mer
will not obey the orders. If they have
not heard from Irons, it is because
there has been delay in delivering the
telegram sent last night. The men will
certainly go to work and Irons will
positively give them the order"
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 29.-Powderlv's
dispatch directing the strikers to return
to work Immediately, was re-
ceived at headquarters of the execu-
tive committee at 2.30 this morning
and member of the committee at once
telegraphed to Irons at Sedalia to return
to ST. Louis at once. 1t is expected that
Irons will start Immediately and upon
arriving here will preside over a meet
ing of his committee which will then
comply with Powderly'S order to de-
clare the strike ended
j. j. McGary, Judge-Advocate of the
Knights, was seen this morning by a
reporter and in reply to an inquiry as
to how the order of Powderly would be
obeyed, said: "If Irons receives it
early enough, he might put cipher
dispatch On the wires and by O'Clock
every man could be back to work"
"Wlll the men go back to work on
Powderly's order2"

terthow this arbitration results, all the
men must be taken back, without any
discrimination beng shown against any

cause"
"Bnt will not refusal to obey Pow

of the Knights?'
at will not. You see, he might be
mistaken. We want arbitration first,
before we go to work. All the men are
of the same way of thinking. | lie.
them at Marshall, Texas, and know
their sentiments"
Then you want those questions set
tied by your demands being granted IL
whole or in part before you return to
work."
Eyes, sir; arbitration first and then a
written agreement that all men shall
be taken back without discrimination.
He then detailed the mode of arbitra-
ton proposed, and said: I'VE shall
abide by the decisions of the arbitrator
on the questions, no matter what these
decisions may be-"
"And what about the Hall matter ?"
THAT will have to go to the courts. D."
New YORK, March 90 In an inter-
view this morning Gould said: MY tele-
gram to Hoxie was prepared before
my conference with Powderlv yester-
day, and was not the result ofanything
Powderly said. 1t is expressly stated,
which position the Missouri Pacific has
taken from the beginning, that The
company is always ready to arbitrate
any differences that it may have with
its own employees. Powderly seems to
have assumed from that telegram that
l have agIe ed to the plan submitted by
the executive board of the Knights of
Labor on Saturday providing Tor the
appointment of an arbitration commit
tee, three members of which are to be
appointed by myself and three by the
Knights of Labor, these to jointly
choose the seventh member. Now, I |
most emphatically deny that there was |
anything in my telegram to Hoxie
or that there was anything said at the |
conference yesterday to warrant anyone |
in believing that for moment assented |
to any such plan. l will appoint no |
of any arbitration committee. |
The whole matter rests in the hands of |
Mr.. Hoxie, and if he can arrange ba-
sis of arbitration. Which will include |
both sides of the question, l will make |
no objection; but the whole matter will !
have to be arranged with him. 1 am
now preparing letter to Powderly, |
which will clearly set forth my position
rs outlined above"
Hoxie has telegraphed Gould, stating
hat the men have not resumed work
his morning as they were ordered to do
oy Powderly.
Powderly is i'll this morning. When
asked why McDoxell came away from
meeting Gould so soon this morning, he
'aid: "Oh, he only came back for
ome papers; that's all. He is down
here now"
Mcdowell went to the Astor House
Hayes and Bailey with him to Gould's
'ffice, where they are now discussing
he situation. Gould has delayed send
ng his letter to Powderly, which he has
as it is now thought that
PERSONAL interview between the two
Gentlemen can be arranged for this
fternoon.
The conference between the general
xecutive board and Jay Gould has ad-
burned until o'clock this afternoon.
10 business of Importance has yet been
one, So Hayes says.
