MIR. Hayes Says the l.. g. N. Company Is Re-
sponsible for the East st. Louis Shooting.
New BRUNSWICK, N. j., April 23.-John w.
Hayes member of the general executive board
of the Knights of Labor, returned to this city
last evening He says that no progress has been
made toward a settlement Of the difficulties be-
tween the strikers of the Gould system ard the
railroad officials. The case is now. however, in
a shape from which it is expected that when the
congressional committee reaches ST. Louis and
meets with the citizens committee, those two
bodies may be able to hit on some plan whereby
a settlement may be effected. He says the re-
ports sent out by the railroads that they are
handling all the freight they want to every day
are untrue. The roads are all blocked up, and
what freight Is run out goes under the protection
Of deputy sheriffs and the militia The roads
claim, and Mr.. Hayes admits, that they have
now all the men they need to do the work they
have to do, which is very little, account of the
blockade. Mr. Hayes says that the uncalled- for
massacre of innocent people by the deputy sher-
ifs was instigated by the railroad authorities
They knew they could not get the help of the
State militia until some act of violence was COM
mitted They, therefore, got together a band of
roughs who brought on the trouble. and the Gov
ernor then ordered the militia to the scene. He
further says that the lawyers employed by the
Knights OF Labor have now in their possession
an ample amount Of evidence to convict the
Louisville & Nashville road of instlgating the
riot An endeayer will be made to prevent, in
the future any such troubles as exist at present

WHAT STRIKES COST.

Thirteen Million Dollars In Wages Lost by
Strikes in One Year.
WASHINGTON, April 23.-The advance sheets
of tho report of Joseph D. Weeks, expert and
special agent of the Census Bureau, upon strikes
and lockouts occurring within the United States
during the calendar year 1885, have been received
by the Interior Department The records show.
he says. that many strikes and lockouts still
grow out of the most trivial causes. 1t is also
true, especially In localities where large bodies
of workmen gathered, that there will always
be found men who,, too frequently from sinister
and merceny motives, create discussions and en-
deavor to inaugurate strikes When strikes are
in progress their duration is liable to be pro-
longed by the efforts of such persons. Yet the
tendency, as stated, Ia toward less frequent
strikes and lockouts. The number of strikes in
certain of the prominent trades, as given in the
report, is as follows:
Iron and steel industries, 236; coal mining 1853;
textile trades. 46: cigar making, AZ; building
trades, &c. transportation, &c. printing trades, g.
glass industries. q; piano making, IA; boot and
shoe making, IL Much the greater portion (7l3
per cent of the strikes and lockouts reported
upon were caused by differences rs TO rates Of
wages. A total of 500, or Sc per cent related 70
rates Of wages; 81 per cent Of all were for an ID.

End OF the Rioting Long Island-An
Advance In Prices of Sugar.
HUNTERS POINT, L. l., April 23.-There was
no renewal of the trouble by the strikers at
Havemeyer's sugar refinery at Green Poiut this
morning. The men are standing around the
sugar-house in small groups, but are quiet, ow-
ing to the presence of police Work in all
branches of the sugar-house has been sus-
pended Officers Gerken and Delaney, who
were badly injured yesterday, are improving.
but it is thought that the former is not yet out
of danger. Ten arrests of strikers who were
engaged in yesterdays riot have been made
the police
The strike of workmen in the Williamsburg
sugar refneries has doomed prices and the con-
sumers of sugar are paying the fiddler for the
dance of the strikers. Granulated sugar was
quoted at 6sc on Saturday last; yesterday it
reachedFsc. 1t is said that prices are sure to
advance still higher. The stock of refined sugar
on hand amounts to practically nothing Bust
ness has been slack and dealers have been buy
ing sugar quantities just sufficient to supply
the demand. Now that the country demand
has increased, the strike has caused prices to
advance out of proportion to the natural course
of trade. Raw sugar was quoted at IL Ice
on April IL, and yesterday it was SIC. This
shows slight advance in the cost Of raw ma
terial, which is not accounted for by the present
strike but which will account for nothing of the
advance in price of refined sugar. The strike
has tended to very much strengthen the ad-
vance.

EVIDENCE IN MIR. HoxIE's HANDS.


stenographin Report of His Conference with
the Executive Committee.
st. Louis Special.
1t is stated that Mr.. Hoxie has a stenographic
report of the entire conversation between him
self and the executive committee of the Knights
of Labor, which will be submitted to the Con-
gressional committee when it reaches st. Louis.
The report. it is said, will be as important as the
one of the conversation between Mr.. Gould and
Mr. Powdery, the publication of which estab
lished the fact that the executive committee was
not at all deceived, but understood exactly what
Mr. Gould understood, as the basis of the order
issued that the strike should cease. When the
committee came here and met Mr. Hoxie, they
went away professedly indignant, and declared
that he had refused to act according to the direc-
tons in the telegram from Mr.. Gould. These
assertions they made the excuse for a new order
that the strike must go on. Mr.. Powderly has
been induced to accept their statement aud ap.
prove their action. But it is stated that
the stenographc report will prove that Mr.
Hoxie held strictly to the course promised, and
by Mr.. Gould directed, and that the execu-
tive committee have entirely misrepresented the
interview. For instance, they say he refused at
their request to take back so per cent. of the
strikers the stenographic report, it is said shows
that he repeatedly stated to them that ne wanted
and would take back 50 per cent. but the com
mlttee would not consent that he should select

represent the interview with the railway officials
and to order the strike to be renewed The
practical result to the men is that nearly all OF
them are out of work. while the railroads have
resumed operations.
