ST. LOUIS, March 12.-There is nothing new
to-day so far as regards the strike on the Gould
southwest system TO warrant the belief that
there will be q speedy settleme mt of the Official
ties. Mr.. Powderly's signal failure 10 open ne
gotiations with Receiver Brown, of the Texas
and Pacific railroad, is regarded ominously,
and the failure OF Col. HoNie TO answer as yet
the communication sent him yesterday by
Master Martin Irons, the chairman OF the eN-
ecutive committee of District Assembly No
1Ol, is looked upon as an indication that the
strike viii be prolonged. The failure OF the
Missouri Pacific management yesterday in its
attempt to resume freight traffic confirms the
belief OF the striking Knights that the object Of
the strike will be accomplished.
MISSOURI PACIFIC ADVERTISING FOR MEN.
The st. Louis and San Francisco trains are
to-day running over the Missouri Pacific tracks
without opposition. The Missouri Pacific is
advertising for men without regard TO their
relations TO organizations, offering the same
wages as last year. They hope TO move freight
trains to-day.
The Globe-Democrdt, referring to the railroad
strike. says editorially: There has not been a
single point in the contest thus far at which a
legitimate issue between capital and labor
could have been presented for arbitration. The
strike Is based upon demand totally unknown
to the history of arbitration, and totally impos-
sibe as thing TO arbitrate. The commerce OF
this whole section was suddenly and summarily
paralyZed, and when the real sufferers from
this paralysis inquired to the cause they
were referred to a district committee some
where in Texas"
ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO MOVE FREIGHT
The management of the Missouri Pacific in
tend to renew their efforts to move freight to-
day. The new men employed by the company
detachment of police. Numbers OF strikers are
gathered around the depot. but they appear
calm. 1t is supposed they will pursue the same
course in their attempt To prevent the reSump-
ton of freight traffic as that pursued yesterday,
viz: by persuading the engineers and fremen
to leave their potts.
Pacific company publish here to-day an adver-
tsement for men to work in its shops, yards
and round houses at st. Louis and other points

tlons To the company or to any society, secret
