GOING Rack 10 WORK
I ST. LOUIS, 40, March I6.-Reeeiver
/ Brown, of the Texas g. Pacific railroad, tele
graphs to Vice President HoZie that lac has
SIXTY seven men at work ia Marshall lex ,
shops, thirty-f0ur of them being old EN-
ployes who struck, and that he expects many
more AT Big Springs Baird and Fort
WORTH he says, they have men enough for
the present wants Of the company.
THE OUTLOOK.
ST. LoUIs, No., March 1.-THE thirteenth
day of the Gould system strike opened with
as little, if not less hope of speedy Eesump-
ton Of freight traffic as ever. Vice PresI-
dents HoEe's reply to Martin Irons, chair
man or the Knights OF Labor executive com
m1ttee5 lnclines many to the belief that tins
company VIII attempt no settlement with
the strikers as a body but viii wait until
the number OF new men employed on the
Lines shall be sufficient to carry on the bust
ness.
Should this prove true, 1t is understood by
the knights OF Labor here that the order
which called those out who are now striking,
VII be followed by one which viii cause
every Knight employed upon the Gould
roads and their southwestern connections to
leave work. The situation so far as the East
St Louis men are concerned, remains un-
changed. The men are at work as usual
tins morning. and it is understood their
grievances viii be remedled without resort
to a strike.
A QUIET DAY.
SEDALIA, No, March 17.-To-day has
been the quietest since the strike has been
inaugurated. Neither party has made a
move, and the absence of excitement makes
the strikers very restless.
Inc grievance committee Of engineers OF
the Gould system, except the Texas Pacific.
has been IN session here again to-day but
their dolngs are profound secret.
The Chief L. ii Arthur Is expected here
20 morrow morning. when 1t is possible that
light VIII break from that quarter and trains
begin to move.
ORDERS FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT.
kansas City, No, March 1.-THE Mis-
souri, Pacific company obtained an order
nom the circuit court to-day forbidding the
strikers from Urespa6Elng on the company 8 /
grounds or interfering with its property. /
An endeavor viii be made to serve the writ /
on individual strikers named IN the com
plant All was hfeless in the freight yards /
to-day.
GRAND MASTER POWDERLX.
ST. LOUIS, March 1T. v. PowderIy. |
Grand Master Workman OF the knights of I
Labor and chairman of the national eXecu- /
tive committee of that order, passed through I
this city tonight on his way to Kansas I
City.
His mission, it is said, is 10 meet and con
fer with the delegates from the i've district I
assemblies, which embraces the entire Mis- /
the strike low existing on that system. He I
would not talk about the strike during the I
few minutes he was here.
HAFAIR WAY TO SETTLE.
NEW OR1EAEs. March 18.-The strike on /
the Texas d Pacific railroad and other rail .
roads of the Gould southwest system, Is in a I
fair way to settlement at last, by arbitration I
or the United States circuit court IN the case 7
OF Hall, the workman DISCHARGED at Mar
shall. This was the cause of the strike. The /
employees have insisted that Hall was dis
charged because he was a Knight of Labor. /
ana the receivers hold that the discharge I
was made for 1ncOmpetency.
Yesterday delegation of local Knights of /
Labor called upon Receiver Sheldon, at his /
Othc5 here, and had a satisfactory interview
with hlqn. The delegation said to the re-
ce1Ver that the discharge of Hall was the
sole cause of the trouble, and inquired if
some plan could not be adODted by which
the cause of the discharge could be ascer-
tanned, and the whole question settled by ar
Governor Sheldon said the receivers had
no intention to do an injustice to Hall and
and were willing to submit the question Of
ms discharge to the court
81. LOUIS Mo-, March 1S.-Ihe general
impression prevails this mOrningin railroad
circles that the Gould strike is nearing an
5nd. The resumption In this city of subur-
pan passenger traffic without any violence
from the strikers is looked upon as a hopefuI
ilgn5 and the partial re-establishmeut OF the
freight traffic at other points is regarded in
he same light.
WHAT GRAND MASTER POWDERLY SAYS.
KANSAS CITY, No, March Is.-Ar. Pow
lerlys when seen by our associated press
representative expressed a willingness to ,
ave the public any information in his Dos
esslon so far as the interests of his mission ,
permitted. He would, he said, probably be ,
.bl6 to speak more definitely later IN the /
.Yen1ng regarding the proceedings of to-day
d"
he ground and learn the true inWardness Of
he strike, and ascertain exactly the situa- /
ION as j could not do it at a distance of over ,
thousand miles. AT the same time I re- {
eiVed a request from the local orders to {
ON them here and endeavor to secure a
ettlement OF the matters at issue between ?
ne railroad officials and themselves We ]
ave spent the day IN consultation but i I
annot yet speak as to the result OF our de-
iberations."
''yTilI you state whether yOu have opened

dr.; HoX1e, and expect to leave tomorrow {

sttlement which might be made would 81 G

''Yes5 1t probably would be"
''Why was Kansas City selected as the

smblies to-dayF' Z
II cannot say. I am not aware of any sig
1hcance IN the selection Here the inter
lev was interrupted, Mr. POwderIy being
a11ed 70 attend meeting.
On returning therefrom he said: 81 have ,
ince learned that the conference was held d
ere Tor the convenience OF the Union Pa
inc delegates, and as a central point
--W1u you state what the strike is fOrfi' %
That is what came to learn, and have y
ct yet succeeded entirely. The men have z
COMPLAINTS that the company has not kent e
Is agreement OF a year ago. There is some s
ussLl0D as 70 wages and the discharge Of y
mplOyes also enters into the matter. Can s
1dlys do not see the necessity for this 2
1EIke5 or Its continuance. In fact the dav Il
Of strikes is past never ordered one ia e
