The labor Situation ut st. Louis.
ST.. LOUIS, April 1.-Contrary to general
expectation that the Executive Commit
tee of District Assembly No. 1Ol would
designate the hour of 10 O'Clock this
morning as the time when the striking
Knights should return to work, no order
to that effect was issued, and at III O'CLOCK
the strike still continued. None OF the
strikers have applied this morning to the
Missouri Pacific officials for work, and
they say they will not do 80 until ordered
by the Executive COMMITTEES.
The Executive Committee of District
Assembly No. $3.50, members of which In
cluded the M~issouri.P acific shopmeu and
upon Master Mechanic Bartlett to ascer-
tain what men he would r%e.employ. A
member of the committee said this morn
ing that they would demand that all the
men without exception who struck be re-
employed. Bartlett. in reply to the in
unirv as to what men he would take back,
said he would exercise his own judgment
in the matter; that none OF those who, de-
| stroyed the company's property would be
~re.employed, and that the number OF
| those whom he should take back would
| be determined by the number actually re-
quired A final settlement, therefore, OF
| the strike On the Missouri-Pacifi railroad
| seems as far off as ever. The Executive
| Committee OF District Assembly No. 101
| have determined to appoint no arbitration
| committee TO confer with Hoxie until the
| employees of the road shall be taken back.
The striking Knights at Hannibal and
ST. Joseph have returned to work.
Fred Howard, the striker who assaulted
a Missouri Pacific engineer because he re-
fused to leave his engine upon request
from the knights to do so, was Fined $40
and costs to-day at the Criminal Court.
Thomas has been fined in the same court
$40 and costs for using threatening and
| abusive language III addressing . nom
union striker.
Six freight trains, three upon the Mis-
souri-Pacifc and three upon the Iron
Mountain road, started out of the city to-
day. No police protection was requested
by the officers OF either road, and no
hindrance OF any kind was offered by the
strikers at any point along the road lead
ing out OF the city. At East st. Louis the
strikers induced the engineers to abandon
their engines on the Vandslia, but the
freight train on the Indianapolis and St.
Louis road went out, the engineer refusing
to leave his engine.
The following has just been issued:
To the public: As showing the sincerity
of railroad managers in their treatment
of the Knights Of Labor, We respectfully
state that paramount 10 an order OF our
General Executive Board we this day sent q
committee to the managers Of the several
RAILROADS Offering to return men to wors,snd
in no instance would they be received or
treated with, each official in turn either
refusing them 9 hearing or evading them
with specious sub,erfuge for direct an
swers. or refusing them employment.
Hoxie has agreed to receive a committee
of employees to admit any grievances which
may exist. lie refuses personally, and
through his subordinates. to recognize any
of us but such IS he calls employees.
In short. after himself and Gould have
conveyed the impression to the world that
they are willing to settle they refuse
to settle. Now. we appeal to q candid and
.suffering public. on which is falling all the
weigot Of this great conflict. if we have
not been deceived enough. How much is
long-suffering labor to bear this great
strike? Never would ii have been had
Hoxie consented months ago to hear our
complaints. We do not claim to be more
than human. 1t should not be expected Of
US to be more than human in this country.
Position makes no man king or slave, and
an imperious refusal on the part of one
citizen to confer with others. with whom
he may have business connections, when
such refusal begets great business and So
cial revolution. ID not only Q mistake. but
a crime against the public. Gould is in
vaking the law against little criminals who
are made desperate by his policy Of duplic-
ity and oppression, and yet the terrorized
public does not invoke the law against the
arch criminal of the land. II we cannot
be allowed to return to work the strike
must go on. (Signed): By order of the
Executive Board Of District Assembly No.
