The Railroad Strike.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March lit is under
stood that Vice President Hoxie has been
in communication with Jay Gould during
the most Of the week, the latter being in
Havana, and the cable between there and
this city has been kept pretty busy carry
ing dispatches between these officials
Judge Port is the general attorney of the
| Missouri Pacific. He says the formal dis.
charge of the striking men wipes out gil
existing agreements between the company
and the knights OF Labor, and that if any
Of the latter are re-employed it will be IN
der entirely new conditions, or no condi-
tions or obligations at all. A general ex-
pectation was that the Missouri-Pscihc
would attempt to move the blockaded
freigh. from their yards in this city last
night. 1t was to be fulfilled, and g visit
to the yards this morning failed to dis
cover any such move, and at this time,
1880 A. NJ, everything il quiet in that
vicinity. The company has been quietly
hiring new men ever since Tuesday night.
and it is anticipated they will to-day fill
the places of the striking Knights, and
that the movement of freight will begin.
Several parties Of these new men were be-
ing conducted to the yards last night to
receive their instructions, when they were
met by q delegation Of the strikers, who
persuaded them to desist from their pur-
pose. The Knights are reticent when
questioned about the probable result of
the attempt by the railroad company to
move their freight trains to-day, but the
general opinion is that they will resolutely
resist any such attempt. The company,
however. are said to Fave finally decided
upon such q course, and il any resistance
is offered by the strikers they will call for
municipal, and, if necessary, State protec-
ton.
The Trades Assembly of this city, com
posed regularly OF appointed delegates
from all trades unions, have held q meet
ing and adopted resolutions, recognizing
the railroad strike AZ q struggle for the
| rights Of the workingnen to organize; that
the position taken by the railroad man
ayers is inimical to the rights OF working
men and the public good, and should be
denounced, and expressing hearty sympa-
thy with the strikers. Preliminary steps
have been taken by the various business
men, with q view to holding public meet
ings OF merchants and mechanics, ex.
changes and other organizations, to devise
some means to bring about a settlement OF
the strike and estore business to its usual
condition.
Martin Irons, Chairman of the Execu.
tive Board Of Knights Of Labor, has pre-
pared a statement Of grievances and de.
mands of the striking employees of the
Gould Southwest System, and sent ID TO
Hoxie, the General Manager of the Mis-
souri-Pacifc. First, he claims, that all
unskilled labor, including section laborers,
truckmen aad crossing switchmen be paid
81 so per day: second. the abolishment of
convict labor; third, that all bridgemen be
paid at the rate of 50 to 50 IS, according
to the nature OF the work performed by
them. Special demands are made on be-
half of the %bridgemen, allowing them to
return home every W weeks on passes,
and that when they are compelled to work
in water to be allowed double time. The
remaining propositions provide that no
Knights Of Labor be discharged until
proven guilty on a special charge of mis-
conduct by three arbitrator, aud that all
the men uniustly discharged be reinstated
at the conclusion of the strike.

up in this city this morning and started in
the direction of Carondelet on the Iron
Mountain road. with the engine under a
full head OF steam, and passed through

take the strikers unawares. for no opposi.
ton was attempted at any point until the
train reached Deso.o, where q delegation

il aud afterwards 'killed' the engine. Nc
opposition was offered by the crew to tho
action of the knights, and no conflict oc.
Cured. Everything is quiet and nc
further attempt, so far as known, will be
made to start trains.
A special from Atkinson, KS. saws the
railroad officials at that point are employ.
ing good men as they apply. A train wen,
out on the Central Branch last evening,
and another will SO ont to-day. No resist.
ance has been made. Men have left the
shops and grounds in obedience to the
company's orders. The merchants are
growing restless and impatient for the
resumption of traffic.

road that q train will be started from the
Union Depot in this city for the West a,
4:40 P. NJ. Firemen and engineers have

coed remains to be seen.
