A sub.oficlal of the MISSOURI fsclnc
road said to reporter last night You
are aware that We are expected to say
nothing and saw wood, but will say to
you confidentially, that from the inside
know the extent and meaning of this trou-
BILE is far more alarming than the head
officials would admit under any circum'
stances. The men who are participating
in this strike are better able now than De-
fore to
FIGHT TO THE BITTER END,
and the company cannot refuse to respond
TO the appeals Of shippers very long. 90
not say the strike is just or warranted, but 1
DO say, aud emphsricslly, that 1t cannot
be put down as quietly and as quickly as
could be wished. It will not stop where 1t
ia. There is not a freight wheel turning
now and were il not for the United States
mails, il is my opinion that passenger trains
would be stopped as well. Unless com
promise ia effected the strike of 1886 will
be more bitterly contested than the one in
1877"
