 ST. LOUIS, March 31.-The expected order of the joint executive boards of district as semblies Nos. 93 and 97, K of L., calling upon the strikers to return to work was is- sued to-day. Chairman Irons sent out du- plicates of the order telegraphed him from New York and later issued a supplementary order instructing the men to return to work The hour set for the return to work on the Gould system is 10 o'clock tomorrow. The yard men of the western division of the Wa bash were the first to receive and obey the order and at 2:15 p. m. every man was set to work. All were taken back and entered upon their duties at once. The matter of the East St. Louis strike was still under con- sideration at 3 p. m. The strike there has been successful in the matter of the com plete stoppage of the traffic that the men are backward in going to work until their de- mand for the Chicago schedule has been in cluded in the matters for arbitration. This matter, however, will very likely be settled and tomorrow the greatest railroad strike the West has ever seen will be thing of history.
