Mr.. Wilkerson discussed the ques-
ton from what he denominated
a standpoint of right and wrong. de
was frequently interrupted by ques,
tons and sarcastic remarks, and
doubtless coming to the conclusion
that his audience was not congenial
one cut his speech short.
The committee on resolutions an,
nounced itself ready to report. and
the resolutions were read by the Sec
rotary.
! THE RESOLUTIONS.
Resolved, That the citizens OF Sedalia de-
nlore the condition of affairs brought about
by the present strike Of portion oil the
railway employees, as productive oil the
tprestest injury to the interests and general
Welfare of our city and of citizens, whether
or not connected In any manner with the
railways.
, We believe that If any grievances exist
on the part of the employees against the
Missouri Pacific Railway company, that
t snch matters could and should have been
settled, as heretofore, by an appeal TO the
= chief officers of the company, or by aroitra-
ton. or a. least that an effort should have
= been made in that direction before In
4 .uuurating a strike, the disastrous conse'
ouences of which can not be for, seen, but
s which can scarcely be exaggerated.
, We do nat understand that any griev
:, ance has b. en- laid before the railway en-
J pany. and from all information which ha
L reached the public ear We are unable u
y see any Just cause for the present strike.
