sufficient to make up the passenger
trains. All the engines there have been
placed in the round-house except the
one used for switching purposes. No

of the strikers assembled early this

guarding the property Of the railroad
company and few yard-masters now
employed as switchmen, are the only
ones to be seen there.

the following circular to the strikers:
"lou are hereby notified that your
action in Withdrawing from the en-
ployment of the Missouri Pacific Rail-
road Company was voluntary aban
donment of the service Of the company,
ard that you are no longer in its en-
ployment, and that your names have
been stricken from its rolls. All such
who are now about the company's
premises are hereby notified that they
must Immediately leave the same, to the
end that this company may resume its
traffic.
