AND THE RAILROAD OFFICIALS STILL /
STANDS.
st. Louis, April 2-Ths views of the
striking knights upon the Gould south
west system and their employers as to
the means by which the strike shall be
brought to d close, despite the apparent
agreement arrived at in New York, seem
as far apert ss ever and the final ad-
iustment is still in the future. The
knights demand that all those who
struck shall be taken back in a body
and the railroad officials have determin-
ed to re-employ only those actually
needed. No hope is now entertained
even by the most sanguine, that a final
settlement can be reached until the gen.
eral executive board shall have arrived
from New York and considered
the situation. It is the opinion
of some that this board will immsd-
lately, upon it's arrival,
ORDER THE STRIKE OFF
and order the knights to make individual
applications for work. Others are OF
the opinion that after they shall have
become fully acquainted with the con-
dition of affairs some arrangement vii
be made whereby all the knights shall
be re-employed. The arbitration
committee has been appointed
and a final adjustment of difficulties ar
rived at.
NO FREIGHT MOVING.
The large freight houses in East st.
Louis have not yet been thrown open, !
for the knights are no less determined
to-day than they were for weeks not to
allow any supplies to be handled in that
vicinity, either by wagon or train. The
crowds assembled in the railroad yards
here this morning are as large as at any
tllne since the beginning of the striks
and seem determined that the road shall
aot resume freight traffic until then
| grievances shall be arbitrated and set
tied. No attempts have yet been made
to run freight trains this morning and
no disturbances have occurred.
RECEIVING FREIGHT.
Missouri and Pacific freight agents are
receiving freight this morning for all
points on the Gould southwest system
and the business is being as res ularly
aonducted as it was before the strike.
None of the striking knights have gone
back to work. but the officials say they
have employed q sufficient number OF
men since the knights left their employ
with which to resume freight traffic.
THE NOON REPORT
Everything quiet up to noon. In
East st. Louis the strike of the trsns-
fer men renders the reception of freight
at the depots impossible and no freight
trains have been started out from there
this morning. Switch engines have been
running back and forth without inter
ference. A heavy snow storm is now
failing and the crowds around the relay
depot railroad yards have decreased CON
siderably since early morning. Those
who remain lave maintained good order.
