The Answer to Hoxie.
ST Louis, Mo March 24--The situation
in railway circles took n departure, Mon,
day, that does not at all improve matters
The Knights of Labor were busy all day
considering Mr. Hoxie's last letter. and con
cluded tleir lahors late at night by promul-
eating statement of their position This
document begins with a set of resolu
tions, in which the refusal OF organi-
zahons of capital to tr at with
organizations Of labor is made the basis of
an appeal 10 all the latter bodies 30 stand
firm in demand for equal rights i'll this
matter, and demand is made ON state and
national legislators to Compel corporations to
submit differences letwren them and their
employees to arbitration. The corporations
are charged with the purposa of running a
country which they can no Ion GER rule.
The statement next takes up the attempt
of the COVE nors of Missouri and Kansas to
negotiate compromise, and in regard to
this says the knights did not agree to abide
by any arrangement which might be made
between the governors and Mr. HoXie The
governors are criticised for their statement
that the Missouri Pacific is the
