New YORK, April 21.-The strikers held
a meeting last night. at which 10 was an
nounced that a settlement was expected
| this morning. The italian Consul was
notified by the strikers that the Italians
were at work in the stables, and asked to
have them Withdrawn. II was decided
that in case a favorable answer was given
to the proposition OF last night to return
10 work to-day. The strikers were to as
semble at headquarters at 8 A. NJ. to-day
and at 10 O'Clock, if their proposition was
accepted. to return to work. About q
o'clock Fred Magthes, q non-Union driver,
in going to work, WAS interfered with by
| John Allison, a Union driver. Magthes
drew q revolver. Both were arrested and
taken to the Fifty.ninth-Street station, and
the revolver was found to be not loaded,
and also broken so as to be useless. Both
prisoners will be brought in court to-day.
At 7 l.. e.. the police began to assemble at
the offices to prepare for the days opera
| tions. At 7:15 A. N. Inspectors Steers and
| Byrnes arrived. and began to arrange their
| men. Five hundred were on the ground.
The first car started out with g driver and
| conductor in charge Of four policemen.
| From this time the cars started out on a
five minutes Roadway. By 9 o'clock 20
cars were running ON trips from the City
Hall to Harlem. All was quiet around
the depot at Sixty-ffth street.
1880 A. M.-The strike is not ended.
There was no conference this morning,
and no agreement has been reached. The
Railway Commissioner will probably meet
at 8 O'Clock this afternoon.
The Directors OF the Third Avenue line
this afternoon unanimously adopted reso-
buttons, refusing to accede to any of the
demands OF the strikers in regard to the
men il shall or shall not employ, and re-
fusing to disoharge any nom Union men or
to take bach any strikers who have de-
stroyed property, or any strikers who have
melted others to destroy property. The
Directors intend to bring the whole power
Of the law to bear against the strikers, and
to run their cars at all hazards. The cars
have been ordered out. and the police noti-
fed of the intention of the company. The
strikers feel very bitter over the action OF
the Directors, aud trouble 10 expected to-
day or tomorrow.
The Strik ers at st. Louis.
ST. LOUIS. April 21.-Late last night o
Cairo Short Line freight train was made
up in the railroad yards in East st. Louis,
and had proceeded On its way out of the
city beyond the line of sentries. when il
was boarded by a number of strikers. who
seized one of the brakemeu and dragged
him to the ground. where they admin.
istered q severe beating before the military
guard could respond to his cries for help.
The brakeman ia in o critical condition.
When the present strike was first com.
menced the whole force Of switchmen and
yardmen up the Cologne road, between
East St. Louis and Carondolet, went out.
and the road was powerless. On several
different occasions they have brought men
in from other points and got them to work
for q few days, and were thus enabled to
do some business. but the Knights Per-
suAding Committee always got hold OF
these new men and induced them to quit.
The same performance was zone through
on the Cologne road yesterday. when the
Persuasion Committee interviewed six OF
the small force of switchmen now at work
there and induced them to quit, and the
road was again badly crippled.
Several of the men employed by the
Darlington and Louisville and the Nash
Vile Railroad Companies to fill the places
OF the striking knights, quit work this
morning, stating they were afraid of
violence from the strikers. Not enough
men stopped work, however, TO seriously
interfere with the running Of trains.
